Chapter 346

"It seems that sharing a body with Xiao Rui for too long has caused their Primordial Spirit and true essences to gradually overlap..."

Luo Qianhua frowned slightly, clenched her fist, and immediately withdrew her Primordial Spirit, giving her body to Luo Qianrui so that it would be easier for the other party to transfer her Primordial Spirit.

Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.

Luo Qianhua's face paled slightly, and she said in a somewhat terrified voice, "Your Highness... I... I can't actually relinquish control of my body to Xiaorui!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression immediately changed; she knew very well what this meant.

This means that Luo Qianrui's Primordial Spirit has gradually lost its independence and has gradually become a part of Luo Qianhua, unable to separate and exist as an independent person.

Furthermore, under these circumstances, Luo Qianrui cannot separate from Luo Qianhua, which means this process cannot be interrupted, and Luo Qianrui will completely disappear in the near future...

Or perhaps, Luo Qianhua and Luo Qianrui disappeared together, and their Primordial Spirit and physical bodies merged into a completely new being.

Regardless of the outcome, it can only be described as devastating.

After all, both Luo Qianhua and Luo Qianrui are independent individuals. If they were to merge, it would mean that both of them would disappear forever...

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Luo Qianhua's eyes were slightly red, her voice choked with sobs, and she appeared extremely flustered.

"Calm down!"

Xiao Minghuang gave a light shout, then said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."

After speaking, she pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked up at the Netherworld Demon Venerable and said, "Fellow Netherworld Path, I have heard that you specialize in the Dao of the Primordial Spirit. Have you ever heard of the concept of the merging of the Primordial Spirit and the True Spirit?"

In fact, the Netherworld Demon Venerable had been observing for a long time. He could sense that this second Heavenly Desire Sacred Body should have a second Primordial Spirit residing in its body, and because of their similar physiques, their Primordial Spirit spirits were gradually merging and becoming inseparable.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I have indeed heard of such cases, but they are extremely rare. Usually, when two souls merge into one body, it is the strong who bully the weak. But I have never seen them overlap and fuse."

The Netherworld Demon Venerable had lived for several eras, specializing in the path of the Primordial Spirit and soul, and possessed extraordinary knowledge, but this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression turned solemn, and he asked, "Does Fellow Netherworld Path Youming have a way to separate their Primordial Spirit and true souls?"

The Netherworld Demon Venerable shook his head and said, "The reason why living beings can think, recognize, discern, ponder, and comprehend is all because of the location of their Primordial Spirit. The reason why they can know that I am here and know that I am me is all because of the location of their true spirit. The former may be forcibly separated by some secret method, but once that is done, it will cause great damage. At best, one will lose all cultivation; at worst, the Primordial Spirit will be annihilated, and the true spirit will return to nothingness!"

"Moreover, that's not the most crucial point; the key lies in the latter."

"The true spirit is the essence of all living beings!"

"The true Spirit Source the long river of time, and the long river of time originates from the Cosmic Great Dao. If one wishes to separate the true spirit, one must possess the ability to reverse the Cosmic Great Dao!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang immediately fell silent.

The Cosmic Great Dao...

She had come into contact with the Supreme Great Dao, such as the Time-Space Ancient Script, and the Star Dao that she created.

Therefore, she was also well aware of how unattainable the Cosmic Great Dao was.

He is the origin of everything.

Everything in the universe began with Him.

Xiao Minghuang thought to herself that perhaps one day in the future, she might have the opportunity to face the Cosmic Great Dao.

But that day seems too long, and it's in the distant future.

But now, she can't wait that long.

464. The Last Gathering

"Is there really no other way?"

Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but ask.

"No."

The Netherworld Demon Venerable shook his head, then quickly added, "Perhaps there is a way, but I just don't know it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned. She knew all too well that the Netherworld Demon Venerable was merely trying to comfort her.

Having cultivated to this level, she was naturally well aware of the situation.

The true nature of living beings is usually a constant and unchanging number.

But once changes occur, they will be irreversible.

This is the underlying logic of the Cosmic Great Dao of operation, which no one can change. Even the outermost edge cannot produce the slightest change unless one possesses the ability to overturn the Cosmic Great Dao.

Clearly, Xiao Minghuang does not possess such powerful abilities at present.

Luo Qianhua's pretty face immediately dimmed, and a trace of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Xiao Rui..."

She murmured to herself, heartbroken.

"Your Highness... I..."

Tears streamed down Luo Qianhua's face.

"Don't rush."

Xiao Minghuang sighed softly and comforted her gently, "There will always be a way..."

"No!"

Luo Qianhua suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, overwhelmed with emotion. "Your Highness, please don't comfort me anymore. I know that Xiaorui can no longer..."

"And even I... we will all die..."

"No way!"

Xiao Minghuang shook her head, her gaze resolute, and said, "Although I don't know what you and Xiaorui will become in the future, I know that you will be unique, one and only!"

"So, absolutely not!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianhua was stunned for a long time. She stared blankly at Xiao Minghuang before slowly saying, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Minghuang held Luo Qianhua's cold hand, took a deep breath, and continued, "You should know that every minute, every second, every moment of the past is a dead 'me,' a dead 'we.' The 'us' at this moment will also become an irretrievable past in the next moment. Don't get entangled in those meaningless things. What we should cherish is not the past, but the future full of infinite possibilities!"

"In the future, you, Xiaorui, and I, no matter what we become, we will always be together, won't we?"

As she finished speaking, Xiao Minghuang's voice softened, seemingly possessing a strange magnetic force that made everyone who heard it feel weak all over.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianhua froze on the spot, her pretty face filled with confusion.

"I think I understand something..."

She murmured softly, then pursed her lips slightly and bit her lip gently, saying, "Your Highness, thank you..."

"Do we need to say such things between us?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled gently, reached out her right hand to wipe away her tears, and continued, "We both hope that we can spend this life together."

"Um!"

Luo Qianhua nodded emphatically, leaned against Xiao Minghuang's chest, and her eyes gleamed with determination.

As an observer who witnessed the entire process, the Netherworld Demon Venerable, despite his advanced age, couldn't help but smile mysteriously at the sight of these young girls' flirtatious banter. It stirred memories of his past, though he could no longer clearly recall the girl from those memories...

However, he also understood that Xiao Minghuang was just comforting the girl. After all, the fusion of true spirits is an irreversible process, and there is no other way but to accept it.

It's much better to face things calmly than to greet a new life with a heart full of pain.

"Young friend, there's no need to worry too much. True spirit fusion is different from devouring. Past memories should be fully absorbed, and past feelings and emotions will not disappear. So don't be too concerned."

The Netherworld Demon Venerable offered a few words of comfort, then changed the subject, saying, "Princess, the Fallen Phoenix Pond won't be open for very long. Look at this..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianhua immediately broke free from Xiao Minghuang's embrace and obediently said, "Your Highness, please don't let my affairs delay you..."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Xiao Minghuang felt even more sorry for her. She didn't speak directly, but instead asked the Netherworld Demon Venerable Lord through telepathy, "Fellow Daoist, how much Sacred Body Essence Blood is needed to open the Fallen Phoenix Pond?"

Since Luo Qianrui is currently unable to return to her original body, only Luo Qianhua remains as a blood donor. If too many people are injured, Xiao Minghuang may not be able to accept it.

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Venerable could also sense the implication in Xiao Minghuang's words. He did not respond directly, but said, "Princess, there is no need to worry. I have a secret technique that can disperse the power of the Primordial Spirit and manipulate the body outside the body, which can also restore the spirituality of the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body."

Is this method difficult to practice?

Xiao Minghuang frowned.

"It's not difficult. This is the introductory course to the Netherworld Path for my disciples. With the princess's... companion's cultivation level, she should be able to grasp the basics in less than a quarter of an hour!"

The Netherworld Demon Venerable explained.

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang felt relieved.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the Netherworld Demon Venerable, Luo Qianhua successfully mastered the basics of the Divine Splitting Technique.

A moment later.

Luo Qianhua's delicate body trembled slightly as a transparent spiritual substance gushed out from her forehead and entered Luo Qianrui's body.

The next moment.

Luo Qianrui, lying in the coffin, blinked her eyelashes and opened her eyes.

She looked around blankly, then her gaze quickly focused on Luo Qianhua, her pupils shrinking sharply. "Sister..."

Seeing Luo Qianrui awake, Luo Qianhua was overjoyed and threw herself into Luo Qianrui's arms, crying out, "Sister... you... you're alive?"

"Elder sister!"

Luo Qianrui's eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Luo Qianhua back.

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang was quite puzzled and asked, "What happened? Did they successfully separate?"

The Netherworld Demon Venerable shook his head and explained, "No, it's just a portion of my Primordial Spirit power being used to operate this body. It will dissipate quickly over time."

"Soon? How long?"

Xiao Minghuang asked.

"About a month, or maybe two or three months? It's uncertain. The longest I've seen is no more than six months."

The Netherworld Demon Venerable said.

Seeing the sisters reunited, Xiao Minghuang felt quite gratified, but she knew that this was only a short-lived reunion.

A long time.

The Luo Sisters gradually calmed down.

Luo Qianhua, holding her younger sister's hand, walked up to Xiao Minghuang. "Your Highness, please tell me if there's anything you need me to do!"

On the way here, Xiao Minghuang had already told her that there was a secret realm here that needed the essence blood of the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body to open.

"Good..."

Xiao Minghuang took the Immortal Divine Phoenix Feather from the Netherworld Demon Venerable and handed it to Luo Qianhua.

"Nourish the feathers with your life essence, then place them on the gate to the secret realm."

As she spoke, she pointed to the dark door carved with a phoenix spreading its wings.

465. Blood pools as vast as the sea

After saying that, Xiao Minghuang looked at Luo Qianrui and said softly, "Xiaorui, I'm entrusting this to you as well!"

"Your Highness..."

Having not seen each other for so long, and without even having a chance to be affectionate, Luo Qianrui's beautiful eyes were filled with grievance.

Although she couldn't respond to the conversation between the group, she could hear it.

She naturally knew that in the near future, she and her sister would merge.

They will become one, a new person.

And they, as they are now, will no longer exist.

She wanted to cherish this moment, but it was too fleeting, gone in an instant, and unattainable.

"Sister, let's go!"

Luo Qianrui, holding her sister's hand, led the way towards the gate.

In order for her spirit to remain here for a long time, she must hold hands with Luo Qianhua at all times and maintain the strongest connection with the original body.

"Good!"
