Qin Shi sat in the middle of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation and took a few deep breaths before wiping away the sweat on his forehead.
Soon after, he opened his eyes slightly. In his eyes that were as deep as the night, a clear golden light suddenly flashed. His aura changed drastically, and a wild hurricane swept up from where he sat.
"Is this the power of the Six Curses?"
Qin Shi clenched his fists. Just by clenching the void, he felt as if he could devour the entire world. His soul had become stronger than he had ever imagined.
"Six curses. I didn't expect that I would improve so much in just half a month."
A hint of joy appeared at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the power that had helped him when he had just broken through. He raised his head and looked at the beam of light in the sky.
He did not know why, but he could sense a familiar gentleness from that beam of light.
Swoosh!
Now, he could control every inch of his Knowledge Sea. His figure flickered on the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation's disk and appeared ten thousand meters away.
He looked at the beam of light in front of him and stretched out his slender hand.
Buzz!
Just as he came into contact with the beam of light, the beam of light suddenly faded away and a seven-colored spirit herb lay quietly on his palm.
Seeing the seven-colored spirit herb, Qin Shi's soul suddenly trembled. "This is … the Rainbow Cloud Ganoderma?"
Boom!
Countless fragmented images pieced together in Qin Shi's mind. Qin Shi recalled the scene before the stone door of the Living Void Cave opened.
"Virtuous!"
An indescribable worry surged from the bottom of his heart. All his confusion had been resolved.
Now, he finally understood why he had suddenly broken through and why he had felt that strange gentleness when he had almost failed.
All of this was because of Kong Hyun-hui.
"No!"
Qin Shi tried to hold on to the Rainbow Cloud Ganoderma.
"Buzz!"
However, at that moment, the Rainbow Cloud Ganoderma suddenly broke free from his hand and floated to the center of his Knowledge Sea.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Seven-coloured Cloud Ganoderma stabilized itself in the middle and began to rotate slowly. Layer by layer, it rotated. Every time it rotated, it would radiate a golden radiance into Qin Shi's sea of consciousness.
This radiance was filled with dense souls, slowly replacing Qin Shi's original soul.
These souls were filled with powerful self-healing abilities, which quickly healed the Sea of Consciousness that had been destroyed by the Living Void Hole and the Six Curse Soul Tribulation.
The restoration could be seen with the naked eye.
But because of this, Qin Shi's heart beat faster. He was more and more sure that this soul was Kong Hyun-hui's Ancient Void Body.
In the end, Kong Hyun-hui still did the stupid thing that he would rather die than see.
"No!
How virtuous! "
He groaned in pain and used his Psyche Power to attack the Seven-Colored Cloud Ganoderma.
"I don't want to, I don't want to, go back!"
He roared crazily as he gripped the Rainbow Cloud Ganoderma tightly with both hands, trying to block the soul that was seeping out of it.
But obviously, he was too naive.
Souls were shapeless and colorless, not to mention that he was in the Sea of Consciousness.
Under such circumstances, he could do nothing but watch Kong Hyun-hui's soul, the so-called Ancient Void Body, fusing with his Sea of Consciousness bit by bit.
"Why is this happening?"
Qin Shi was disappointed. There was no longer any joy from the breakthrough, only endless self-blame.
He wanted to save Kong Hyun-hui, but in the end, he did not manage to do anything.
Instantly, the pain of Shi Lan dying in front of him was dug out from the deepest part of his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, and his Psyche Power produced an extremely ferocious aura.
"No, no, I don't want to!"
"I said, I don't want to experience this pain again."
"Virtuous, I won't let you die!"
Qin Shi used all his strength to block the Seven-Colored Cloud Ganoderma like a madman, trying to suppress Kong Hyun-hui's soul.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the Seven-Colored Cloud Ganoderma buzzed again, and the last of its power overflowed. All of the soul was neutralized into Qin Shi's Sea of Consciousness, turning into crystal powder.
"No!!!" Qin Shi wailed.
He said that he would protect her, but in the end, he did nothing.
Once again, he had to watch a loved one die in front of him, and he couldn't do anything about it. Why was it like this?
Why is this the result after putting in so much effort?
That kind of pain made him wish he was dead.
If it was just the explosion of Kong Hyun-hui's body, he could at least preserve her soul, and when he returned to Scarlet Flame, he could use the Blood Bathing Array to resurrect her.
But if the soul was destroyed, it would be a true death, and he would feel helpless.
Under the soul fusion, even though his Sea of Consciousness was bright, he felt that the world was dark, and he could not see any hope. He was like a lonely soul wandering in the wilderness, lonely and helpless.
"Buzz!"
Just as he was about to be swallowed by the darkness, suddenly, a golden ray of light shone in front of him, like a sacred path.
Qin Shi raised his head indifferently, and from the center of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array, that mischievous little ball of light appeared again, bouncing its chubby body, and leaped in front of Qin Shi.
It was very intelligent, and used a thin ray of light to wrap around Qin Shi's wrist, and led Qin Shi deeper into the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array.
Qin Shi frowned, this little guy rarely appeared, and every time it did, it would bring him a miracle. What would it be this time?
He tried hard to control his emotions, and slowly followed the ball of light. Just as he entered the center of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array, his black eyes stopped on the array disc, and his black eyes suddenly froze.
"Gulp!
This, this is …! "
He violently swallowed, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
On top of the formation plate, there was a petite silhouette quietly lying down. There was a faint smile on the silhouette's face, and her hands were clasped together in front of her chest. Her chest rose and fell in an orderly manner, looking very serene.
"Xian, Xian Hui?"
That's right, that figure was Kong Hyun-hui, or more accurately, Kong Hyun-hui's spiritual body.
"Gulp!" Qin Shi violently swallowed, and shouted towards the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array, "It, it was you who saved her?
She's not dead, right? "
The little ball of light bounced up and down, as a response to Qin Shi.
The deathly stillness on Qin Shi's face disappeared, and he excitedly hugged the little ball of light.
Actually, Qin Shi had forgotten something. He only remembered that the Blood Bathing Array had the effect of activating the physical body, but he had forgotten that he had personally guessed the connection between the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array and the Blood Bathing Array. The Blood Bathing Array could activate the physical body, while the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array could activate the soul.
Moreover, if it had been someone else, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array might not have been able to save them. However, Kong Hyun-hui's soul had entered Qin Shi's body, and the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array, which had abnormal control over souls, happened to be able to protect Kong Hyun-hui's heart meridian.
Moreover, under certain circumstances, this phenomenon had helped the two of them. Kong Hyun-hui's soul had been activated, and her soul was originally an Ancient Void Body, and she had merged her original Ancient Void Body with Qin Shi. This way, both of them could be said to have Ancient Void Bodies, and the living void hole could no longer harm them.
Because of this, Qin Shi had also broken through to the sixth curse, and obtained a powerful soul healing ability. This was simply great news for the two of them.
"Don't worry, Xianhui. I'll take you home now."
Qin Shi rubbed Kong Hyun-hui's beautiful hair, and then carried Kong Hyun-hui in his arms. Immediately, he raised his head and said gratefully to the little ball of light, "Little guy, thank you so much this time."
Hearing his words, the little ball of light waved its hand arrogantly, as if saying it was a trivial matter. Seeing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but laugh. After that, he didn't delay any longer. He slightly withdrew his telekinesis, and returned from his sea of consciousness to reality.
In the living void hole, Qin Shi opened his eyes. Kong Hyun-hui was lying peacefully in his arms. Looking at her beautiful face that was full of hope, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xianhui, you've suffered. I'll wake you up immediately."
He stretched out his hand, and Kong Hyun-hui's spiritual body slowly returned to her delicate body. Her stopped heart beat violently, and she began to breathe again. Her body temperature also slightly recovered.
"Qin Shi!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the first person she called out was Qin Shi. Hearing this, Qin Shi's heart was filled with self-blame and warmth. He hugged her and smiled, "Silly girl, I'm fine. We're all fine."
"What happened?"
Kong Hyun-hui blinked her almond-shaped eyes. She seemed to have had a very long dream, but she couldn't remember what it was.
"Nothing happened."
Qin Shi smiled gently. He didn't explain to Kong Hyun-hui, and only remembered this feeling in his heart.
After a pause, Qin Shi took a deep breath, and then straightened his body slightly. His eyes flashed with nervousness and seriousness.
At this moment, he stood in front of the stone door. The stone door was still filled with whistling sharp lights, but now that Qin Shi had the Ancient Void Body, these lights could no longer hurt him. He took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
"Okay." Kong Hyun-hui obediently followed behind Qin Shi.
The two walked into the stone door, and the inside of the stone door was filled with dark green lights. The power of the soul was strong enough to manifest, like fireflies in the middle of the night, emitting fluorescent light. Together with the milky white stalagmites, the scene was very beautiful, and Qin Shi and Li Mu were a little dazed.
"If there were no such fierce soul powers here, it would be a peaceful paradise in my later years." As a little girl, Kong Hyun-hui always had no resistance to beautiful things.
Qin Shi nodded in agreement, "But that's impossible. If there were no soul powers, these fireflies would have disappeared."
"Hey, can't you be a little more emotional?"
Kong Hyun-hui glared at Qin Shi and rebuked, "I really don't know what the three girls who fell in love with you have. Sigh."
Qin Shi clicked his tongue and smiled bitterly. Then, the two followed the fireflies and went deeper into the stone door.
"Shi Tou, look over there."
After a few steps, in the hall behind the stone door, Kong Hyun-hui suddenly shouted loudly. Qin Shi raised his head in shock, and saw that where Kong Hyun-hui was pointing, there was a huge light pool.
The pool was filled with dark green fluorescent light, and the fluorescent light in the air came from there. In the sky above the fluorescent light, there was an extremely profound formation. From all directions of the formation, there were intense balls of light. Each ball of light was filled with the power of desolation, and in the center of the eight intersecting balls of light, there was an emerald green jade pendant. The jade pendant was in the shape of a crescent moon, and it looked very sacred.
