The space has not yet been restored, so it is not appropriate to cultivate inside.

Using the Cosmic Technique allows for faster absorption of external energy.

Lin Jingyi flipped through Xi's memories and unexpectedly discovered a technique similar to the Zhou Jue. This technique was called Hunyuan Lingtong Jue, which was more complete than Lin Jingyi's Zhou Jue. The Zhou Jue was like a low-end version of Hunyuan Lingtong Jue.

Looking at the Hunyuan Lingtong Technique without any side effects, Lin Jingyi was overjoyed. He could finally say goodbye to the days of converting spiritual energy.

He stopped thinking about it and began to practice according to the incantation.

No longer concerned about the amount of spiritual energy, Lin Jingyi can absorb any energy contained in the air. However, Helanxi's body has five spiritual roots, requiring five times more energy than a cultivator with a single spiritual root.

Nevertheless, after cultivating for a whole night, Lin Jingyi also improved by a small realm, reaching the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

For cultivators, the Kingdom of Helan is located in the mortal world, a place lacking in spiritual energy. Helan Xi, with the full strength of the nation, cultivated for fifteen years before finally reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, without the restriction of spiritual energy, coupled with Lin Jingyi's cultivation experience in several worlds, his cultivation speed is naturally much faster.

After a night, Lin Jingyi couldn't help but marvel at how effective the new technique was; the speed of spiritual energy circulation was twice as fast as the Universe Technique.

"Princess, it's time for you to get up." As dawn broke, Lin Jingyi was checking on Shuyue's condition when he heard a maid's voice from outside the door.

Aside from her seclusion, Helanxi gets up early every day to pay her respects to the Empress. Yesterday, she didn't mention that she was going to cultivate, so a palace maid came to wake her up early in the morning.

Lin Jingyi withdrew his divine sense and said calmly, "Come in."

As Lin Jingyi finished speaking, the sound of the door being pushed open rang out.

Several palace maids helped Lin Jingyi get dressed and styled her hair into an elaborate updo. Half an hour later, Lin Jingyi was finally fully dressed.

"The princess is so beautiful." Just as Lin Jingyi was admiring the beauty of his body in the bronze mirror, the maid's infatuated voice came from the side.

Lin Jingyi smoothed the strands of hair that fell over her shoulders. The girl in the mirror had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, her skin was smooth and white, her big eyes sparkled, and she exuded an air of nobility and elegance with every move she made.

"How is Xiaoyue?"

Tilting his head, Lin Jingyi asked the palace maid on his left. After all, Meng Yue had been with Helanxi for seven years and they had grown up together. They had a bond that other palace maids didn't share. Although Shu Yue had made a mistake, Helanxi was kind-hearted, so Lin Jingyi could only stick to his persona and ask her.

"Aunt Yue... Little Yue is locked in her room, not crying or making a fuss." The palace maid habitually addressed Shu Yue as Aunt Yue, but then remembered that she was currently locked up, and quickly changed her address.

As a cultivator, Helanxi didn't like being served by others, and usually only had Mengyue as her personal maid.

Lin Jingyi nodded: "Let's go see her later." After saying that, Lin Jingyi stood up and headed towards the Empress's Phoenix Palace.

Half an hour later, Lin Jingyi arrived at the Empress's palace.

"Princess Mingxi, Her Majesty and the Emperor are already waiting inside." Upon arriving at the Empress's palace gate, the palace maid standing outside greeted Lin Jingyi respectfully.

"Mm." Lin Jingyi nodded with a smile and walked past the palace maids into the courtyard.

At that time, the Empress and the Emperor were already sitting at the dining table waiting.

"Father, Mother." Lin Jingyi bowed to the two of them as he entered the room.

When the Empress saw Lin Jingyi enter, she got up and walked towards her, taking Lin Jingyi's hand with a smile on her face.

Emperor Helan Yao smiled kindly and nodded.

Thanks to the pills given by Helan Xu, Helan Yao, who was originally in his fifties, and Empress Chu Ning looked like they were only in their early thirties.

Just as the group sat down, a gentle breeze blew by, and Helan Jing, dressed in white, appeared at the door. After paying his respects to the Emperor and Empress, he calmly found a seat and took his place.

The atmosphere at the dinner was very pleasant and harmonious.

"Xi'er, I heard that the stone you were born with was stolen by your little maid last night?" After the Emperor and the Crown Prince left, the Empress pulled Lin Jingyi to sit down.

Lin Jingyi nodded: "That is indeed the case, but my daughter has her own arrangements for this matter."

The Empress nodded and stopped asking about the topic. Her daughter had always been opinionated since childhood. She then started chatting about everyday matters.

Lin Jingyi stayed in the Empress's palace for half an hour before leaving.

He returned to his palace and went straight to Shuyue's room.

Pushing open the door, Shu Yue, who had finally fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the doorway.

After dismissing the palace maids, Lin Jing also closed the door.

Upon seeing Lin Jingyi, Shu Yue's mind was racing.

“Princess, I did not take your pendant. Perhaps someone took it and placed it on me. I beg Your Highness to investigate and clear my name…”

As Shu Yue spoke, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she knelt down before Lin Jingyi, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Innocence? Shu Yue, how dare you claim innocence in front of me?" Lin Jingyi leaned in and mocked.

Shu Yue, who was kneeling, suddenly raised her head, disbelief flashing in her eyes. Her name in the mortal realm was Meng Yue...

Shu Yue, who was pretending to tremble, started shaking even more; Xi had regained her memories!

Amidst her racing thoughts, Shu Yue's tears fell in large drops, as if she were crying tears of joy. "Xi, you've finally regained your memories? I did this to give you a little push and help you recover your memories as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, I remember everything." Lin Jingyi looked at Shu Yue's hypocritical face and said with a smirk, "Isn't my current state all thanks to you?"

"Let me explain..." Shu Yue racked her brains. She had indeed attacked Xi in front of him, but she couldn't think of a good excuse for a while and paused for a long time.

Lin Jingyi straightened up, frowned, and a voice in his soul kept telling him to kill the person in front of him.

He rubbed his temples, ignoring what Shuyue was saying, and directly led Shuyue into the space.

She is the one in control here. Without her permission, Shu Yue, a mere mortal, cannot escape.

While racking her brains for a reason, Shuyue noticed the change in her surroundings and guessed where she was. She thought that, based on her understanding of Xi, she should be able to get his forgiveness...

"Xi, how did your space become like this?" Shu Yue lay on the ground, looking at this small world, which was completely different from the universe in her memory. For a moment, she forgot her situation and asked in surprise.

Lin Jingyi rubbed his temples. Since "Xi" wanted to kill Shuyue, and Shuyue was useless to keep alive and would fall into her hands anyway, he might as well grant her wish.

Without answering Shu Yue's question, with just a thought, Shu Yue was gripped by an invisible force, her body slowly lifted up, her feet off the ground.

Lin Jingyi watched Shu Yue's futile struggles with indifferent eyes.

Within a few breaths, Shu Yue stopped struggling, and her soul slowly flew out of her body.

Lin Jingyi rubbed his temples and asked the system in his mind: [System, why am I still affected by the original owner?]

[After all, Xi is an ancient deity, so it's normal for her to be affected, as long as it doesn't conflict with the mission.]

"Xi, why did you do this?" Shu Yue angrily questioned Lin Jingyi. Xi was such a kind person...
