"How... how do you know this?"
Under Bai Shengyi's astonished gaze, Qin Si spoke indifferently.
"When my mother perished, I thought I could find her soul in the cycle of reincarnation. Chasing after it, I discovered that the so-called reincarnation had long been useless due to the departure of the Samsara Gate."
Bai Shengyi kissed Qin Si's cheek. "A'si, I will always be with you."
She could feel Qin Si's low spirits, but this was not the time for romantic affections.
Qin Si smiled at Bai Shengyi. "I know, I'm alright."
He then looked up at the stone gate not far away. "This gate, it's targeting us... no, it's targeting you."
Especially the dark beam that had just appeared, which had openly conveyed its killing intent towards Bai Shengyi.
"If our previous speculation is correct, and these gates are related to Yun Youyue and Ying Wuzhou, then it's not strange for it to be targeting me," Bai Shengyi said indifferently. "After all, whether it's Yun Youyue or Tang Qiao, they would rather I die."
"Whoosh!"
Before Bai Shengyi could finish speaking, another black light shot out.
The black light was incredibly domineering and ferocious, directly piercing the barrier Bai Shengyi had just constructed and heading straight for her face. However, before it could touch Bai Shengyi, Qin Si intercepted it with a sword.
"This won't do. I'll destroy this gate first!" Qin Si brandished his sword and leaped towards the stone gate, giving Bai Shengyi no chance to object.
Bai Shengyi's gaze deepened. "Little Vine Leaf, Miao Miao, come out and protect this cultivator."
After giving her instructions, she got up and followed closely behind Qin Si, forming seals and unleashing a large expanse of divine fire. She had quite a few types of divine fire on hand, and too lazy to consider which one would be most effective against resentment and malice, she summoned them all.
However, this significantly increased the burden on her body.
Her mental energy was already depleted, and now her spiritual energy was also nearly exhausted. Her situation was extremely perilous.
"You're simply reckless! Utterly reckless!" The Samsara Brush couldn't help but curse, but Bai Shengyi paid it no mind.
"Little Samsara, don't worry, I'll be fine."
The Samsara Brush said agitatedly, "What can you possibly do!"
Bai Shengyi snapped her fingers, dodging another black light, her eyes ablaze with a radiant smile. "You just watch!"
Holding the Heavenly Axiom Sword, she danced in the air, her sword's edge as if slicing through towering snow-capped mountains, with cool winds rippling out layer by layer.
Yet, this wind, though seemingly gentle, was incredibly sharp, obliterating everything in its path.
Bai Shengyi curved her lips slightly and whispered, "Spring Swan's Fifth Sword, Primordial!"
If there had been no spiritual energy here to begin with, it would have been one thing. But Bai Shengyi knew that spiritual energy was present. In fact, because the spiritual energy of the entire secret realm was gathered here, its concentration was higher than anywhere else. It was only because of the formation that this spiritual energy was continuously transformed into resentment, malevolence, and so on.
And now, what Bai Shengyi intended to do was to revert all of this back to its original state.
If she hadn't advanced to the Void Breaking Realm, she might not have been able to achieve this. But now, as a Void Breaking Realm cultivator, her comprehension of rules had deepened further, and her control over time had become even more effortless.
Bai Shengyi watched as the sword light surged forward, engulfing everything. In just a moment, the surroundings gradually blurred, and countless resentments seemed to be purified, transforming from long wisps of dark energy pulled from bodies into pure white light.
Spiritual energy gradually re-gathered and flowed into Bai Shengyi's body, and within moments, her internal spiritual energy had recovered by more than half.
The smile on Bai Shengyi's face deepened, and she guided a portion of her spiritual energy towards Qin Si.
The spiritual energy within both of them was instantly replenished.
"Little Samsara!" Bai Shengyi called out, and the Samsara Brush quickly flew over, held tightly in her hand, the Primordial Chaos Paper fluttering without wind.
"Shengyi, what are you doing?" The Samsara Brush suddenly had a bad premonition, feeling that its master, who always did impulsive things, was about to do something "great" again.
Bai Shengyi floated in mid-air, scrutinizing the formation in the sky that was about to be destroyed and the stone gate that Qin Si was firmly restraining. She said in a deep voice, "I think this gate and this formation are incompatible."
Before the Samsara Brush could understand Bai Shengyi's intention, it saw Bai Shengyi cover the brush tip with the power of the Starfall Imperial Realm and write a few characters on the Primordial Chaos Paper.
"Zhou Tian Star Dou, Vast Samsara!"
The sky immediately turned to night, dotted with stars, emitting clear starlight!
Specks of starlight converged into a magnificent power, striking the formation's core fiercely. The Samsara Brush thought Bai Shengyi intended to destroy the formation first, but it didn't expect her to use threads of starlight to directly lift the entire formation!
"A'si, move aside!"
Bai Shengyi's sharp command made Qin Si, though unsure of her actions, ignore the attack from the stone gate ahead and immediately obey Bai Shengyi's order to move aside!
Just as the stone gate's attack was about to hit him, a black and gold frame, emanating the aura of a formation, was precisely inserted into the stone gate by Bai Shengyi!
"Seal it!"
Bai Shengyi's brush tip shifted, and another character, "Seal," landed on the Primordial Chaos Paper, transforming into a vast force of rules that squeezed the stone gate.
Seeing this, Qin Si counter-attacked with a sword flourish, also forcing the stone gate to close.
Under the dual pressure of the two, the stone gate was forced shut.
"Rumble..."
Bai Shengyi detonated the Starfall Imperial Realm power hidden within the formation, and the interior of the stone gate let out a dull, heavy explosion. It then trembled, cracked into pieces, and vanished from its place.
"It's done!" Bai Shengyi joyfully hugged Qin Si. "Qin Si, the Samsara Gate is destroyed! Let's go to the east!"
Earlier, Senior Sister Qian Ying had sent word that they were in the west holding back the stone gate, and Master was in the north. She and Qin Si had to go to the east first to check.
Qin Si nodded, taking Bai Shengyi's hand as they headed east.
"If the stone gate in the east is also destroyed, we should be able to enrage it. At that time, A'yi, I will leave the secret realm first."
"I'll go out first!" Bai Shengyi insisted.
Qin Si's face darkened. "No! A'yi, the secret realm needs you and the Starfall Imperial Realm within you!"
"But..." Bai Shengyi was unwilling.
Both she and Qin Si knew that if the Mahayana cultivator's words were true, and the vast secret realm had mutated and intended to devour the Divine Revelation Small World, then the person who left the secret realm first would have to put in more effort to protect the Divine Revelation Small World.
But how could one person resist a world that had once nurtured gods?
Therefore, the person who went out first was bound to be in grave danger.
"A'yi, listen to me. I cultivate the Way of Space, which can precisely curb its actions. You cultivate the Way of Time and the Way of Samsara, which is closely related to the Samsara Gate within the secret realm. Your staying in the secret realm to break all of this is the most crucial part."
Seeing Bai Shengyi's mouth droop, Qin Si persuaded her again.
Bai Shengyi replied listlessly, "I understand."
Her heart seething with hatred for the culprits who had caused all of this, she arrived in the east and, raising the Heavenly Axiom Sword, struck out with a single blow!
