The moment the spirit core was taken out from the spirit vein, Liu Yishu heard the wailing between heaven and earth.

This spiritual vein has given birth to countless lives, and the entire Tianzong Mountains are full of vitality because of it, but from today on, it will slowly die.

It only took a moment for the Yun family's ancestor to snatch the spirit core. In that moment, those who wanted to stop it were unable to do so, and those who could stop it were just watching the show.

"Why do you think he will definitely fail? What if he succeeds? After all, there have been precedents of success in the past, right?" Xu Weichen asked curiously when the Yun family ancestor crushed the spirit core and madly absorbed the power in it.

Liu Yishu said disdainfully: "He is not a child of luck, and he is entangled in karma. How can he succeed?"

"Master, let's get away first. The impact of the spirit core explosion is not small."

Due to the Yun family ancestor's action of forcibly absorbing the spirit core, the war in front of the bustling city was ignited and a melee mode began.

Xu Weichen took Liu Yishu and retreated quietly without attracting any attention, all the way out of the Tianzong Mountains.

Not long after, a force powerful enough to destroy the world exploded with Xirang City as its center. The monks fled one after another, but the impact of this force was too strong. Many monks had no chance to escape and were directly annihilated.

While all the cultivators were fleeing, Xu Weichen took Liu Yishu closer to the center of the explosion.

At the moment of the explosion, the more advanced the cultivators were, the more they instinctively sensed the crisis and ran faster. They only knew that there was danger and they had to escape quickly, but they didn't know that the explosion was only because the ancestor of the Yun family could not withstand the power of his spirit core and caused his power to go out of control. His body was blown to pieces, but his spirit core was intact, only a part of his power was lost.

Liu Yishu used his spiritual sense to lock onto the spirit core in the chaos, but he did not try to take the spirit core for himself. Instead, he leaned forward and gently tapped the core of the spirit core with his finger. In an instant, a tremendous force poured out from the spirit core.

"Master, it's now." Liu Yishu stepped back a few steps and said to Xu Weichen.

Xu Weichen immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the pure spiritual power emitted by the spirit core.

The spirit core is the heart of the spirit vein. The spiritual power it contains is much purer than that of the best spirit stones. Xu Weichen is about to become a spirit, and his internal organs are empty, so he needs the nourishment of spiritual power.

It is like a downpour after a long drought. For him, the spiritual power of the spirit core is like a downpour that constantly nourishes his body, and his cultivation level rises at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The early stage of transformation... the middle stage... the late stage...

Time passed little by little, and finally a cultivator noticed the unusual spiritual energy here, came over and began to absorb it.

Liu Yishu drew a domain around Xu Weichen, "Anyone who comes within three feet will die!"

Those who were ready to make a move gave up their thoughts and stayed away from Xu Weichen.

Some people's cultivation has just reached the critical point and they break through directly on the spot. The noise of the breakthrough attracts more cultivators.

As more and more people came, the spiritual power emitted from the spirit core became thinner and thinner, and at this time, the spiritual power that Xu Weichen could absorb finally reached its limit.

The moment Xu Weichen opened his eyes, Liu Yishu retracted his domain and said to him with a smile: "Master, let's leave first."

Xu Weichen was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Liu Yishu's pale face, he immediately took him in his arms and entered the bustling city.

Because of today's changes, the bustling city that was once bustling with people has become exceptionally deserted. There are almost no monks on the streets. Occasionally one or two are seen, and they are all rushing out of the city, presumably wanting to get a piece of the pie.

When I came to Baiyujing again, this place had become ownerless.

Xu Weichen found an empty attic and set up a defensive barrier outside it.

The spiritual vein under Baiyujing has lost its spiritual core and without the blessing of the spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy is no longer as rich as before, but it is still stronger than the Tianzong Mountains.

The moment Xu Weichen held Liu Yishu in his arms, he took his pulse. After his cultivation level improved, his perception of Liu Yishu's soul also became stronger, and he could clearly sense Liu Yishu's weakness.

The joy of being promoted to the Great Perfection of Spiritual Transformation was thus completely gone.

"Why doesn't Xiaoshu absorb the spiritual power of the spirit core?" Xu Weichen asked in confusion.

He could feel that the spiritual power in Liu Yishu's body had not increased at all.

"Is it because you want to protect me?"

If it is really because of this reason——

Xu Weichen blamed himself just thinking about it.

"The spirit core is contaminated by too many causes and effects. Master has merits and can absorb them, but I can't. I cannot be contaminated by even a little bit." Liu Yishu said bluntly.

"Master, aren't you curious? I clearly have the body of a nine-tailed fox, but why do I have to live in the body of a human and make myself so weak?" he asked.

Xu Weichen looked at him, his expression slightly moved. He was of course curious, but he didn't know whether he should ask.

But now Xiaoshu takes the initiative to mention——

"Why?" he asked.

Liu Yishu moved closer to him, put his forehead against his, and pulled Xu Weichen's consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

At the stone table under the peach tree, Liu Yishu and Xu Weichen sat on either side, rarely not sticking together.

"I should have told Master a long time ago, but whenever I saw Master, I couldn't help wanting to get close to you, so I kept putting it off until now."

Liu Yishu smiled awkwardly at Xu Weichen. According to his plan, when Xu Weichen visited his sea of ​​consciousness for the first time, he should tell him some things.

"The sea of ​​consciousness is my private domain. Only by communicating here can I avoid 'it''s' perception." Liu Yishu explained.

"Master, you may have realized that the spiritual energy of this world is not enough for a cultivator to become an immortal. Master, do you know why?" Liu Yishu asked directly to the point.

Xu Weichen shook his head.

He could indeed sense it, and after he became a spirit, this sense became even stronger, as if there were some shackles between heaven and earth that were restraining them.

"Master, have you ever heard of Jianmu?" Liu Yishu asked again.

"Does Jianmu really exist?" Xu Weichen asked excitedly.

He had seen records about Jianmu in the library of Taicang Mountain. The ancient book said that Jianmu was the ladder to heaven and the way to immortality.

"I have seen with my own eyes that mayflies gnawed on Jianmu. This was the beginning of the connection between the earth and the sky. From then on, immortals were separated forever and mortals could no longer become immortals," said Liu Yishu.

Liu Yishu said this calmly, but this sentence shocked Xu Weichen so much that he couldn't digest its meaning for a while.

"Is it because Jianmu is gone that mortals cannot become immortals?"

"Mayfly? Is that the mayfly I know?"

"How can the most insignificant being eat the most powerful Jianmu?"

There were so many complaints that Xu Weichen didn't know what to ask.

"Jianmu is the passage connecting the human world and the fairy world. If Jianmu is eaten, the human world will be separated from the fairy world forever."

"It is said that a mayfly trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own strength! When I was still very weak, I witnessed with my own eyes a mayfly shaking a tree. Since then, I have never dared to look down on any living being in this world. What do you think, Master?"
