Everyone did not consider whether the Void Creation Green Lotus could communicate.

Although innate objects, because of their inherently immense strength, find it extremely difficult to develop spiritual wisdom and transform into human form, even if there are no other serendipities, attaining the level of an Innate Divine Object is already capable of birthing a complete mind.

"Then I'll go over."

After adjusting his state, Liang Yi made a leap and arrived beside the Purple Mist bamboo with ease.

Getting closer, Liang Yi had a new sensation when looking over the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo again.

A rich burst of Innate Spiritual Energy hit him in the face, identical to the aura emitted by the Qinglian and Purple Mist divine light within him, but this energy was countless times weaker than the Void Green Lotus he had experienced, yet it was much stronger than the Purple Mist divine light inside him that was like a salted fish.

A droplet of dew, condensed from the gathering of the world's Spiritual Energy, trembled precariously on a Purple Mist bamboo leaf, taking about three or four breaths to drip with a "plink" into the stream, merging with other droplets to form the creek.

Liang Yi glanced at the "Spirit Realm" BUFF on his panel, though still at the core of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo, the closer to its core, the stronger the effect of the BUFF. At Liang Yi's current position, the effect was indeed a tenth stronger than before.

With a peripheral view of the gesture "It's time to start" from Predecessor Zhu Shigu, Liang Yi didn't ponder any further and sat down cross-legged in a soft patch of grass, with the Qinglian Creation within him thunderously circulating.

Previously, in the Gumei Yuezhan Secret Realm, the battles had dimmed the Qinglian, but after a long period of cultivating, Liang Yi revitalized it back to its vigorous state.

Now, as Liang Yi fully catalyzed the Qinglian Creation, the immaculate and flawless Qinglian within his Divine Soul shone brilliantly, with boundless Vitality bursting forth.

Such pure Vitality overflowed from Liang Yi's body, absorbed by other plants surrounding him, even the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo swayed gently, exuding a joyous sentiment. Living in such an environment, even it would feel comfortable.

With the reminder from Zhu Shigu, Liang Yi now focused more on his connection with the Void Creation Green Lotus while operating his Cultivation Technique.

As Liang Yi was immersed in the operation of his Cultivation Technique, Su Youyi and Old Master Ju saw a different scene.

Accompanied by the overflow of Liang Yi's Vitality, the surrounding lawn began to grow wildly, and due to the excessively rich Vitality, it even showed signs of further advancement.

And the droplets on the Purple Mist bamboo leaves also condensed a drop in several breaths, eventually speeding up to one drop per breath.

However, what astonished Su Youyi the most was the sound of "cracking" around her Senior Brother, like the shattering of a mirror.

When Su Youyi and Old Master Ju looked more intently, they suddenly discovered several fine virtual cracks had emerged around Liang Yi.

Although the cracks appeared inconspicuous, Su Youyi knew that a significant part of her Senior Brother's seemingly endless Vitality was transmitted through these void cracks.

"Indeed, as I expected."

Seeing the initial appearance of the void cracks, Zhu Shigu excitedly clapped his hands, with joy clearly evident in his eyes.

Thousands of years of conjecture now seemed to be without error, and the opportunity for advancement was right before them, no wonder Zhu Shigu was thrilled.

Even though he had reached the Realm where his composure would not change even if Mount Tai was falling in front of him, at moments like these, he should indulge in happiness instead of feigning restraint.

"Alright, since Liang Yi has succeeded, it's time for me to have a conversation with that one."

Facing the void cracks, Zhu Shigu sat cross-legged in the same posture as Liang Yi.

Under the curious gaze of Su Youyi and Old Master Ju, a sweat-drenched little person quietly appeared above Zhu Shigu's head, and this illusory little person even had a bamboo on top of their head, looking exactly like Zhu Shigu.

"Divine Soul Split?"

Su Youyi couldn't help but exclaim softly when she saw the method used by Zhu Shigu.

Even Old Master Ju stared wide-eyed, marveling at the soul fragment split by Zhu Shigu and inwardly sighing at his resolute decision.

Cultivators, when their true bodies cannot go to some dangerous realms, often use avatars or soul fragments to proceed.

Normally, avatars are illusions created by various Daoist Skills, generally weak and mostly used for scouting, baiting, or gathering intelligence. Therefore, even if an avatar perishes, cultivators aren't heartbroken, as a new avatar can be made within three days.

But soul fragments are different from avatars; the loss of these is significant, a mere few days of recovery won't suffice, and if a soul fragment perishes, it won't return to the original body, but will either be devoured or dissipate between heaven and earth.

For a normal cultivator, this could be called a crippling blow; a serious enough loss could lead to a fall in Realm or negatively affect the path of cultivation, which is why most cultivators do not choose this method of handling things.

Yet a soul fragment's power is formidable, reaching up to eighty percent of the original body's strength, and soul fragments of cultivators above the Eighth Realm can even wield the Power of Laws, making them incredibly powerful.

Su Youyi was surprised that Zhu Shigu would choose such a risky method.

If it were to fail, and the soul fragment dispersed in the void, without some special treasure for healing, his path of advancement would also be halted.

"I need to utilize the pathway of that young fellow, Liang Yi, to converse with the Void Creation Green Lotus personally, so I must traverse the void. Avatars are too weak; only a soul fragment has the strength."

Zhu Shigu explained to the two of them.

He didn't want to take such a big risk either, but there was no such thing as a perfect situation in the world without paying a price. How could one expect to gain anything without making any sacrifices?

Shrunk countless times, Zhu Shigu with a bamboo over his head flew shakily towards the spatial rift near Liang Yi, preparing to use this passageway to find that person.

The Void Creation Green Lotus had always kept him out, but fortunately, he had someone with a key beside him. Although he didn't have the key, he could get someone else to open the door for him.

Zhu Shigu gazed at the spatial rift in front of him, which was about the size of his soul fragment, and after taking a deep breath to suppress his worries, he stepped forward, ready to delve into it.

But just when he was only a finger's breadth away from the rift, an unexpected change occurred.

A strong rejection force burst out from the rift, blowing his soul fragment away from the vicinity of the rift.

Zhu Shigu halted in midair, his expression suddenly changing.

The power of this soul fragment might not be substantial, but it should at least be able to exchange a couple of blows with an early-stage Eighth Realm cultivator. Yet now, he was blown away without any resistance!

This sudden turn of events also left Su Youyi and Mr. Orange on the other side of the stream in shock, not understanding what had happened.

This force seemed to target only Zhu Shigu, as neither Liang Yi, who was very close, nor Su Youyi and Mr. Orange, who were not too far away, detected anything abnormal.

Just as Zhu Shigu, with his uncertain expression, was preparing to try again, a suction force, the complete opposite of the rejection force, suddenly emerged from the spatial rift, directly targeting Liang Yi.

This time, being prepared, Zhu Shigu clapped his palms together in the moment the suction force reached towards Liang Yi, a mini version of the Purple Mist Bamboo radiating its glory over the land!

The profound Earth-rooted strength blessed Liang Yi's entire body, firmly anchoring him to the ground so that the strange suction force couldn't pull him away. Currently, Liang Yi's body weight alone could crush an entire mountain range!

It was fortunate that Zhu Shigu truly mastered everything about Qinglian Creation; he knew that Liang Yi's body could withstand such weight, otherwise it would have been Liang Yi's body that collapsed first at the moment of the enhancement.

Even with his intense concentration, Liang Yi sensed that something was wrong. After opening his eyes, he was utterly confused.

The two opposing forces pulled at him from both sides, making him extremely uncomfortable in the middle.

Su Youyi realized there was a problem and wanted to come over to help Zhu Shigu with a solemn expression.

But before Su Youyi could approach, the force from the rift suddenly changed, as if it found Zhu Shigu's interference annoying, and a whip made of the force lashed out directly.

The whip was formless and intangible, and if it weren't for Zhu Shigu's turf where his power was comparable to that of a Great Perfection Eighth Realm, even he wouldn't be able to detect this attack.

But unfortunately, even if he did detect it, he couldn't dodge it...

Before the whip reached him, Zhu Shigu used countless methods to try to stop it, even tapping into the power of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo itself for the final attempt, but it was all in vain.

The formless and intangible whip seemed to exist out of this world, ignoring all his efforts and arriving right before him.

"What on earth is this?"

Zhu Shigu was dumbfounded; he had never seen anything so strange in all his long life.

But more bizarre was that the force carried by the whip was exactly the same as the one that had pushed him away before, merely blowing him back without damaging his Divine Soul.

It was as if whoever was on the other side knew he was just a soul fragment and did not want to inflict heavy damage.

After Zhu Shigu got whipped away, Liang Yi only felt the force on his left side suddenly vanish, and without any resistance, he was pulled by the suction force on his right towards the rift.

"Senior Brother!"

How could Su Youyi stand by and watch her senior brother disappear in such a baffling manner – she managed to grab his hand at the last critical moment.

The other side seemed disinclined to pay heed, completely ignoring the fact that there was another person hanging onto Liang Yi.

The rift, originally the size of a palm, suddenly expanded to three feet wide, swallowing Liang Yi and Su Youyi whole, before finally vanishing without a trace.

Inside the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo, only a bewildered Zhu Shigu and a subtly aware Mr. Orange remained.

Zhu Shigu arrived at the location where the rift disappeared and threw a punch.

Let alone the reinforcement of an array; even in the outside world, this punch could directly pierce through space. But now, in this place which should have been weaker, it remained unaffected, leaving Zhu Shigu awkwardly alone.

"Don't bother, they've already stabilized the space over there, meow."

Mr. Orange strolled over with a leisurely cat walk, speaking unconcernedly without a hint of worry on his face.
