Ling Qing froze at the sight of the embryonic sac, then murmured, "Cangjie's creation of characters needs a body!"
"Is this using merit to forge a body? Or..."
He watched as the shadow within the embryonic sac shifted without cease. Yet as time passed, the spirit turtle form lingered for longer and longer.
Moreover, it faintly exuded a wild, combative urge to vie for supremacy.
Though Ling Qing did not know the precise circumstances, he felt that something was amiss.
The Dao sought purity and tranquility. Such fierce competitiveness was surely improper.
Not caring whether he might ruin Holy Mother Turtle Spirit's destined opportunity, he immediately drew forth a strand of Primordial One Qi, erased his own imprint, and sent it into the embryonic sac.
He chanted scriptures of merit, and the spiritual radiance behind his head blazed forth.
Each utterance of merit-filled admonition resounded, each beam of spiritual light shone down, and the shape within the embryonic sac slowly transformed into a human figure.
A restless agitation burned outside the sac like flames. Ling Qing drew the Immortal-Slaying Sword again and used it to suppress it.
At last, a flash of golden light streaked past. The embryonic sac peeled open layer by layer like flower petals, revealing a baby girl curled up inside.
The baby girl slowly opened her eyes. As she rose, she spun around, and the layers of fetal membrane beneath her transformed into a robe and skirt that draped over her body.
With a light tap of her feet, she landed atop a golden flower formed of merit.
Just as she was about to speak, a blue lotus suddenly flew over and descended directly toward the baby girl.
Without time to speak, the baby girl sat cross-legged on the golden flower and flew toward Ling Qing.
