"Master!"
Bai Shengyi and Qian Ying both made a move, but neither managed to stop Daojun Qinglan.
"No, I have to go help Master. That's a god, how can he manage alone?" Qian Ying said without hesitation and followed.
Seeing this, Bai Shengyi had no choice but to obediently suppress his own desire to follow.
Qin Si saw her distressed expression and knew she also wanted to help Daojun Qinglan. He sighed softly and hugged her, "Don't worry, Shibo won't be in any trouble. Once we destroy the formation, we'll go to the divine temple immediately."
"No, you should leave first," Bai Shengyi kept thinking about the Divine Revelation Small World outside the secret realm.
Or rather, she was thinking about the countless ordinary people and cultivators in the small world. If cultivators could not withstand such a sudden disaster, how could ordinary people?
"But if I leave..." Qin Si trailed off.
He didn't want to leave.
He wanted to stay by Bai Shengyi's side.
But Bai Shengyi said, "We already agreed on this, A'Si."
Qin Si was defeated.
Yue Bufan had already gone to contact Lin Qingyu and the others. Bai Shengyi and Qin Si did not delay. After thinking for a moment, since Yun Youyue had already been driven away by Daojun Qinglan, they decided to head north first.
Bai Shengyi took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
"A'yi, what's wrong?"
Bai Shengyi shook her head, "This situation is very similar to the illusion constructed by the Spirit-Illusion Divine Fire."
In the Spirit-Illusion Divine Fire, she had also gone north first, then west. However, in the illusion, the Universe Secret Realm had also given her a divine pill... Right, the divine pill!
Bai Shengyi suddenly thought of this item. She searched her storage bag and, as expected, found a strange pill.
The reason it was strange was that it was not infused with vital energy, but with a dense aura of death. However, its pill patterns resembled green mountains and flowing water, incredibly bright and vibrant. A strong sense of contradiction intertwined in this single pill, making it extremely eerie.
"What is this?" Qin Si asked.
Bai Shengyi then told him about what had happened in the illusion.
"I suspect this divine-grade pill is real," Bai Shengyi said. "It's a shame that after Little Reincarnation swallowed the Spirit-Illusion Divine Fire, it fell into repair and slumber. Otherwise, we could have asked it."
"You can also ask me, Your Highness." A cultured voice replied.
Bai Shengyi slapped her forehead, "Hongmeng Paper?"
"It is I, Your Highness." Hongmeng Paper floated out from the main body of the Reincarnation Brush. When Bai Shengyi used the Reincarnation Brush as a weapon, its main body and spiritual form were separated. Hongmeng Paper, being one with the Reincarnation Brush, naturally remained on the brush body.
He answered Bai Shengyi's doubts, "This is indeed a divine-grade pill, but it is not an immortal pill, but a demonic pill. This pill is named 'Myriad Desires'. The reason Your Highness felt many desires growing in her heart at that time was also due to the seductive aroma emitted by this pill. The greatest effect of this pill is to cultivate desires."
It could be said that if Bai Shengyi had taken the pill on an impulse, she would have been ruined.
"As expected, this is not a good secret realm!" Bai Shengyi said resentfully, "What proper secret realm would have such a pill!"
To think she had blamed her own lack of self-control at the time and reflected for so long!
Bai Shengyi angrily pulled Qin Si and quickened her pace, "A'Si, let's move faster. Let's dismantle this broken secret realm quickly!"
"Your Highness..." Hongmeng Paper hesitated.
Bai Shengyi stopped, "Hongmeng Paper, speak your mind."
Qin Si looked at Hongmeng Paper and, recalling its origin and Daojun Qinglan's mysterious background, suddenly had a thought, "What you're about to say, does it have anything to do with Shibo?"
"It's related to Master? What happened to Master?" Bai Shengyi was puzzled.
Hongmeng Paper took a deep breath, "Lord Qingwu just now, his spiritual body is damaged, and I'm afraid his life disk has flaws."
Bai Shengyi's steps faltered, and she suddenly felt her feet incredibly heavy.
"What does it mean to have a flawed life disk?"
"It means he doesn't have long to live!" The Reincarnation Brush woke up at some point and pushed aside the cautious Hongmeng Paper. It leaned close to Bai Shengyi and said, "He is a spiritual being born from heaven and earth. His spiritual body is the foundation of his existence in this world. Don't go north; he must be using his本体 (main body) strength to suppress the Gate of Reincarnation. Just go directly west."
The Reincarnation Brush's guess was correct.
The stone gate in the north had already been destroyed by Daojun Qinglan, but Daojun Qinglan himself had also suffered heavy losses.
His spiritual body had been damaged by more than half. If nothing unexpected happened, his lifespan would be less than a hundred years.
"Don't be too sad, everyone. There's still a way to remedy it," Hongmeng Paper said, seeing the somber atmosphere of the group. "If one can obtain the Heart of the Gods, and then assist it with the Spiritual Conduit Bone, refining it into a divine-grade pill called the 'Pill of Returning Emptiness', it can mend his life disk."
"Spiritual Conduit Bone?" Bai Shengyi touched her own spine.
Qin Si's face darkened abruptly, "Impossible!"
They had both known for a long time that the Spiritual Conduit Bone was currently only possessed by Bai Shengyi and Yue Shuxin. If the Spiritual Conduit Bone were to be used as medicine, whose bone would be extracted? It certainly wouldn't be Yue Shuxin's.
Qin Si's face remained dark, and the topic was dropped. Coincidentally, they had also arrived at the western region.
"Go!"
Bai Shengyi, holding the Reincarnation Brush, joined the battlefield.
Meanwhile, in the unapproachable north.
The black mist grew larger and larger. It suddenly realized that Qingwu, who had followed it earlier, was missing.
"Where... is the person?" Dark Spirit murmured in confusion.
It drifted around searching, but still could not find anyone, so it gave up.
"It's so... comfortable here..." Dark Spirit devoured the lingering resentment in the air and happily swam within the residual formation.
Not long after, it expanded again. However, it intentionally controlled its size, and in a short time, it had compressed its size to what it was when it first emerged from the Star Sea of Life Disks, but its body had become much more solid.
At least now, while floating in the black light, its color was deeper than black.
After a while, it felt that the concentration of resentment here was too low.
Dark Spirit glanced at the floating divine temple in the sky and whispered greedily, "Want to eat... over there... so much food..."
It flew uncontrollably towards the divine temple.
Yingwuzhou, Tianwu City.
On the highest floor of the Heavenly Curtain Pagoda, in the ethereal immortal energy, black and red currents occasionally surged in. A massive formation glowed throughout the room.
Since Xia Yule and his party had departed several months ago, the Heavenly Curtain Pagoda had been on complete lockdown, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
No one knew that Yingwuzhou's lord, Ying Wuxiong, had quietly moved into the pagoda, even bringing a coffin of white bones.
At this moment, the white bone coffin was placed in the center of the formation. Nourished by the formation's power, the person inside the coffin suddenly moved a hand.
"It moved! Master, the young master is reacting!" The puppet guarding the coffin immediately sent a message to Ying Wuxiong.
Ying Wuxiong was meditating in the next room. Upon hearing this, he instantly appeared in the room.
