No matter how the reincarnation brush moved, the black mist persistently stayed in the sea of consciousness, leaving the reincarnation brush helpless for the time being.
Bai Shengyi frowned. "I'll go check the dantian."
The moment she spoke, her consciousness had already reached the dantian.
"No wonder..." Bai Shengyi muttered, her eyes widening in shock as she looked at the scene in her dantian.
Since she had reached the Mahayana stage, the nascent soul figure in her dantian had transformed into a dense sea of spiritual energy, floating within the dantian like a nebula.
Now, this nebula had completely turned into a fiery red starry sky. Wild flames burned in every corner of the dantian. At the center of the flames, occasional flashes of cyan or green stars flickered. The red and green, not only contained immense destructive power but also completely filled the entire dantian.
Even the main body of the Qingsuifeng Vine was squeezed into a corner of the dantian, wilting.
"Go to the sea of consciousness."
The Qingsuifeng Vine had long wanted to go to the sea of consciousness, but with the reincarnation brush as the boss there, it dared not rush in like the black mist. Now that Bai Shengyi had spoken, it immediately slipped away.
It had no choice but to slip away. The oppressive force of the spiritual energy within the dantian was growing stronger. Even though it had resided there for years, it was finding it difficult to bear.
Bai Shengyi returned to the sea of consciousness from the dantian and said to the reincarnation brush, "Let it stay in the sea of consciousness."
The reincarnation brush huffed, "Then this brush must set rules for it."
"The boss is right!" the Qingsuifeng Vine immediately agreed.
"Don't think you can escape, you must also abide by the rules!" The reincarnation brush immediately turned and glared at the Qingsuifeng Vine.
It felt a bit depressed. The sea of consciousness used to be its own territory, but now there were so many other things crammed in. It felt noisy.
The more the reincarnation brush thought about it, the more disgruntled it became. As the boss, how could it be squeezed in with these subordinates?
Bai Shengyi, unaware of the reincarnation brush's petty thoughts, had other plans. She returned to her body from the sea of consciousness.
In the Enlightenment Chamber, Yue Jun was painfully dealing with Wu Qun. Suddenly, Bai Shengyi stood up as if intending to leave.
"Sister, are you going back?"
Bai Shengyi nodded. "I have something to attend to. You don't need to mind me, just continue cultivating."
"No, no, how can we let you go back alone? I'll accompany you." Yue Jun immediately got up, as if something was chasing him, and quickly walked to Bai Shengyi's side, affectionately reaching to hold her arm.
Bai Shengyi smiled and withdrew her arm from his grasp. "I'm sorry, I'm not used to people touching me."
Before Yue Jun could speak, she added, "Let's go."
She then led the way out of the Enlightenment Chamber.
In another corner.
The Green-Robed Goddess heard footsteps and opened her eyes, seeing two retreating figures. She frowned slightly, "Li Hongyuan, those two saintesses have left."
The Enlightenment Chamber was rich in spiritual energy. For the holy sons and daughters of the Four Great Divine Temples, being able to cultivate here was a great blessing. Everyone would not leave until the last moment, but those two... could it be that they had become so powerful that they no longer needed to cultivate diligently?
Li Hongyuan said indifferently, "They come from a small place, and they probably don't know how important the Enlightenment Chamber is for spiritual plants due to a lack of guidance. However, if you're truly worried, we can ask Ming Shenshi for help when we go out."
The Green-Robed Goddess was very cautious. "Then when the time comes, we'll go see Ming Shenshi together."
Bai Shengyi, unaware that someone else was targeting her, had just stepped out of the Enlightenment Chamber when she saw a yellow mass flying towards her!
Yue Jun instinctively kicked out, but Bai Shengyi saw clearly that the yellow mass was a person wearing yellow. She quickly pulled Yue Jun back. "Wait!"
Saying this, she stepped forward herself and reached out to catch the yellow mass.
"Saintess Bai!"
The person in yellow stood up, and Bai Shengyi realized it was an acquaintance.
"Lina?"
Lina did not expect Saintess Bai to know her name. She knelt on the ground excitedly. "Saintess Bai, thank you for saving my life again, but you should leave quickly to avoid being implicated by me..."
Before she could finish speaking, a man in a green robe walked out of the adjacent room. The man held a long whip and was covered in the strong smell of blood.
The moment Lina saw him, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. She prostrated herself on the ground and trembled, saying, "Ming... Ming Shenshi."
"Scram!"
Ming Shenshi kicked her away, his gloomy gaze falling on Bai Shengyi and Yue Jun, with a flash of admiration.
"You two, are you this year's saintesses?"
The abundant life force within these two bodies were truly excellent sacrifices.
Thinking of this, his bad mood, caused by the two disobedient sacrifices in the room, lessened somewhat.
Bai Shengyi and Yue Jun both sensed Ming Shenshi's presumptuous gaze, and their expressions darkened.
Yue Jun, unable to suppress his temper, frowned with disgust and said coldly, "Ming Shenshi is busy with important matters, it's normal that he hasn't seen us."
"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to speak to Shenshi like that?" the divine attendant behind Ming Shenshi immediately reprimanded. "Why aren't you kneeling to apologize to Shenshi?"
Ming Shenshi smiled and waved his hand. "It's alright, little girl, she has a temper, it's quite normal."
The attendant said, "Ming Shenshi, you are simply too kind."
"Hmph!" Yue Jun said disdainfully, "If you were truly kind, you wouldn't be arguing with a mere attendant."
"Just a female slave," the attendant said carelessly. He stepped on Lina's fingers and smiled triumphantly at the two.
Lina's face turned pale from the pain, but she dared not make a sound.
In the temple, female slaves were at the lowest rung of existence, especially those born into common families. Their only destination in life was to be a sacrifice.
The attendant looked down at Yue Jun and stated, "Saintess Yue, you are too presumptuous in front of Shenshi."
Even a saintess, with one misstep, would face the same fate as a female slave.
Ming Shenshi clearly agreed with the attendant's view, otherwise he would not have allowed the attendant to act this way.
Bai Shengyi watched all this, feeling that the temple's system in the Green Rong Small World was even more twisted and laughable than the system at the Divine Enlightenment Academy.
"Ming Shenshi, can a mere divine attendant in the temple now point fingers at a saintess?"
Bai Shengyi's clear voice carried a hint of a smile like a spring breeze, but if someone could see her face beneath the veil, they would notice that her lips held no smile at all.
Ming Shenshi's gaze had not moved from Yue Jun. He could sense that Yue Jun's life force was even more vigorous than Bai Shengyi's.
Of course, he did not know that Bai Shengyi had deliberately restrained her spiritual energy fluctuations to a level similar to Han Bei and others.
"Of course not," Ming Shenshi replied without looking up.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang."
Bai Shengyi directly kicked the divine attendant behind Ming Shenshi away!
The attendant crashed into a pillar of the temple, the sound so loud that it instantly alerted the temple's formation. In a flash, he was swallowed by the formation!
Bai Shengyi narrowed her eyes slightly. There really was a formation!
"What are you doing!" Ming Shenshi finally reacted, turning to look at Bai Shengyi gloomily, raising his whip, which hung poised in the air. "Who allowed you to make a move?"
