Jinyao Will Make You Understand
After taking over this world that had been corrupted by the Consciousness Domain, Bai Qiuran went to invite the Red Dust Immortal Elder.
He asked his disciple, who specialized in Spatial Divine Ability, to help him compress the world into the size of a luminous pearl, which could be carried around for easy research.
After all, Bai Qiuran hadn't told Jiang Lan and the others where he was going before he came out, and he couldn't stay at the edge of the Consciousness Barrier forever without going home.
Moreover, shrinking the world makes it easier for Bai Qiuran to react should a leak occur in the Consciousness Domain. He can easily block the leak by simply wrapping the world with his Spiritual Sense Consciousness Domain.
Of course, even if it's shrunk like this, the world is still the world, and the amount of Spiritual Sense required is still the same. It's just that you can see the changes in each part of the world more intuitively.
After doing all this, Bai Qiuran put the world away and then jumped into the Void River to swim back.
Even though he was a master of deception, it still took him several days to make the trip back and forth. Bai Qiuran returned to the courtyard of the Hehuan Sect, he ran into Li Jinyao.
The Little Demoness seemed to have been staying at home these past few days without moving around, but upon sensing his presence, she immediately came out to greet him.
"Senior, where have you been these past few days?"
Li Jinyao blinked as she asked, "Look, your cloak is torn. Take it off quickly so I can mend it for you."
Bai Qiuran looked at himself and found that his black cloak did indeed have a tear. In order to make it easier to persuade the Immortals, he changed into the Ghost Emperor's clothes in the Void River before swimming there. He rarely wore clothes with a cloak, so he probably didn't notice it in the Void Vortex and the turbulent currents of the Void Vortex tore a hole in it.
So he took off his cloak and handed it to Li Jinyao, saying, "It's nothing. I found a place to cultivate, and then I went with Mo Chen to take care of some important matters."
Li Jinyao took the needle and thread, and the two went inside. Miss Li expertly retrieved the sewing box and began mending, asking at the same time, "Cultivation place? What kind of cultivation place is it?"
"It's a convenient training ground for me to practice my skills."
Bai Qiuran replied.
"Oh."
Li Jinyao immediately lost interest. The cultivation places Bai Qiuran found were either strange places frequented by a large number of Foundation Establishment Stage Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, or extremely dangerous Deadly Lands. Neither type of place was suitable for them.
Her guess was absolutely right. In this entire Void, only Bai Qiuran probably uses places like the Void River and the Void Vortex as his training ground.
After swimming in the Void River twice, his True Essence had barely increased to about 30%, but unfortunately, the speed at which his True Essence condensed gradually slowed down.
Bai Qiuran guessed that this was probably the fault of the Fortune Body Forging Technique. After his Fortune Body Forging Technique reached its peak, whenever his body was injured, his body would heal itself and his strength would increase accordingly.
Even his physical resistance would increase. For example, if there were still flames in the world that could burn Bai Qiuran, after he went through such flames and was injured, the charred parts would not only heal quickly, but his physical fire resistance would also increase. The next time he suffered the same injury, such flames would most likely have no effect on him.
The Fortune Body Forging Technique is similar to the training methods used by Saint Seiya.
After figuring out the connection, Bai Qiuran felt a bit annoyed. Should she not have modified the Fortune Body Forging Technique to be so powerful? Originally, the prototype of this Cultivation Technique was simply to enhance the strength and healing power of the body, and did not have this Saint Seiya-like attribute.
Thanks to this attribute, his and Tang Ruowei's combat power has increased significantly, but it has also become a constraint.
He swam around the Void River twice, and the strength of his Purple Mansion increased to a point where it was not significantly affected by the Void Vortex. Tang Ruowei was the same; after her bloodline returned to its ancestral form, although bone armor grew on her chest, her ancestors probably didn't have such a strong defensive capability even in the Divine Age.
Thanks to the Fortune Body Forging Technique and Bai Qiuran's tapping, with each tap, the hardness of her Breastbone would evolve, increasing to a level that this force could not break through.
Fortunately, Tang Ruowei's Fortune Body Forging Technique has now reached the forty-seventh level, and she is only three levels away from the fiftieth level.
Bai Qiuran estimated that, based on the difference in strength between himself and this girl, her Breastbone probably wouldn't evolve to the point where even he couldn't break it.
"Alright."
While Bai Qiuran lost in thought, Li Jinyao had already finished mending the garment. She bit off the end of the thread, put the needle and thread away, and then handed the cloak to Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran took a look and found that the cloak was patched up as if it were brand new, with no trace of repair after damage.
It must be said that Li Jinyao's skills in housework and cooking are just as outstanding as her talent in cultivation.
Watching Li Jinyao tidy up her sewing box, Bai Qiuran put away her cloak and sighed, "Thank you so much, Jinyao."
"You're welcome."
Li Jinyao smiled and moved closer, pulling him very close, and whispered, "Don't you know what Jinyao is thinking, Senior?"
Bai Qiuran suddenly felt that Li Jinyao's expression at this moment was somewhat similar to Su Xiangxue's from decades ago.
He coughed, pulled back slightly, and replied, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; I truly don't understand, I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Jinyao turned the table around and sat down next to him, sitting close to him and smiling, "Jinyao will make you understand, senior, one day."
After bringing that world back, Bai Qiuran spent her days handing over public grain and swimming twice in the Void River. The rest of the time, she and the Red Dust Immortal Elder tried to observe the changes in that Consciousness Domain.
This world, invaded by the Consciousness Domain, is a world with an extremely low energy level. In the Void, every day old worlds perish and new worlds are born.
Apart from the Fivefold Immortal Realm, which are maintained by Immortals, and the cultivation world where Bai Qiuran and his group live, which is Cultivation by the Immortal Realm, it can be said that the other worlds in the Void are unstable.
Previously, before the Consciousness Barrier was opened and the Consciousness Demon Army invaded, when the Immortal Realm was at its peak, most of the worlds in this Void were protected by the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Dao.
Even if the world is destined to perish, the Immortals will find ways to relocate its inhabitants to other worlds, allowing them to continue to multiply and thrive, hoping that new Immortals will be born there.
However, in the seventy thousand years after the separation of the First Immortal Emperor Bai Li's soul, the Four Emperors were in power and focused on internal strife. The pace of the Immortal Realm's external expansion slowed down completely. The Four Emperors began to shrink their power and no longer paid attention to the mortal world. This also resulted in many newly formed worlds entering the Void, which had never received teachings from Immortals, nor had the Heavenly Dao extended to them to guide their development.
And this world invaded by the Consciousness Domain is one of them.
