Fifth Pearl: "Last sentence, if you are thinking about how to merge this space, then there is no need, I can handle it immediately."

Xue Huan: "...Really?"

Fifth Pearl: "Why would I lie to you?"

"Then come on."

"What's the benefit?"

"Aren't you my spirit? Do you want a reward for helping me?"

"Let's be clear. Although I am your spirit, we have signed a contract of equality. This means that even if I don't help you, you can't do anything to me. I am willing to help you, so you should thank me. If you express your gratitude, it's reasonable not to give me some benefits."

Xue Huan: "...What benefits do you want?"

"Well, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll ask you for it when I do. You can't refuse me then."

"Don't make demands that are too excessive."

"I know. How could I make things difficult for you? Just let me out."

Xue Huan released the Five Elements Bead from her palm. The Five Elements Bead swayed left and right very intelligently, as if looking around, which was very humane.

It’s true that things are different after the spirit of the weapon is awakened.

Immediately, he transformed into a human form and cast a coquettish glance at Xue Huan, "I'm going." Then he disappeared in an instant like a flash of light.

When Xue Huan saw his human form, she felt that he was a little different from what she had imagined. She imagined him to be a lazy and unruly teenager, but it turned out that he only had a boyish voice, but was actually a little kid.

The way he winked at her just now was really funny.

Pei Ji: "Huanhuan, who is he?"

"Five Elements Pearl Spirit, what do you think? Doesn't it look a bit unexpected?"

Pei Ji's lips curled up slightly, "Indeed."

The fifth bead swung around and suddenly shot towards a certain place. "Found it!"

Xue Huan: "What did you find?"

"As long as I devour the spirit of this space, I can merge this space with mine."

"The spirit of space? Are you saying that this space has awakened its own consciousness?"

"That's right. If we let it continue like this, the Space Spirit will develop intelligence like me and take on a human form. Then, it will run away. Now, it can't hide from me!"

This space actually gave birth to consciousness... But it's not surprising when you think about it. After all, this space has been sucking blood from the Water Spirit Realm for thousands of years. All the spiritual energy produced by the Water Spirit Realm over the years has been swallowed up by it. Under the irrigation of such powerful spiritual energy, even a piece of stone can become a spirit, right?

The fifth bead: "Be careful, this guy is about to attack!"

The Spirit of Space was naturally unwilling to be swallowed by the Five Elements Beads. Unable to deal with the Five Elements Beads, it attacked Xue Huan and Pei Ji.

The ground beneath Xue Huan suddenly cracked open, and Pei Ji reached out in time to grab her and hold her in his arms.

But a crack also appeared under his feet.

The crack was so big that there was nowhere to gain leverage. At the critical moment, Pei Ji took out his sword and inserted it deeply into the earth wall to stop his fall.

At this time, the cracks quickly gathered towards the middle, trying to pinch the two people to death.

Pei Ji took a deep breath and leaped up, rising out of the crack at the moment before the crack closed.

But there was no place to stand below. The entire ground was cracked, with huge mouths opening wide, wanting to swallow the two of them.

A thorn vine seed appeared in Xue Huan's hand. She injected spiritual power into it and quickly made it germinate. The seed sprouted out in the blink of an eye and grew taller and thicker.

Pei Ji originally wanted to swing his sword downwards, using the reaction force of the sword energy to lift both of them into the air again and avoid falling.

But when he saw Xue Huan doing this, he stopped.

When falling into the gap, Xue Huan threw the thorn vines that had grown to half a person's height onto the earth wall, and increased the force to stimulate their growth. The thorn vines quickly grew into a lush patch and continued to grow taller and thicker.

Pei Ji took her and stepped on one of the branches, and was lifted up into the air by the thorny vines.

The thorn vine has a well-developed root system and can hold on tightly to any bit of soil. The Spirit of Space causes the ground to crack into gaps, but it cannot remove all the soil, which gives the thorn vine the opportunity to climb and take root.

As long as the thorn vines are still rooted in this land, Xue Huan and Pei Ji will have a place to stay and will not fall into the cracks.

The Spirit of Space had to do two things at once: deal with Xue Huan and Pei Ji, and avoid being hunted by the Fifth Pearl. Of course, he couldn't escape in the end.

"Ha, I got it!" The fifth bead grabbed a gray thing with one hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowing it with a few "ah ah ah" sounds.

Having eaten too quickly, he suffered from indigestion. He burped and floated back to Xue Huan. "I've already captured and consumed the Space Spirit. Please enter the space. I'll take this space in."

Xue Huan looked at him, "How do you get in? You should change back to your original form first. I'm really not used to seeing you like this."

The fifth bead rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop being so pretentious. Just come at me. Hurry up."

Xue Huan and Pei Ji rushed towards him with gritted teeth, but of course they did not touch the entity. Instead, they felt like passing through a layer of water film. The next moment, they appeared in space.

Immediately afterwards, a rumbling sound was heard in the south of the space, and a large piece of land appeared out of thin air.

It was the same space as before.

Xue Huan: "Hurry, help me restore these cracks and level the disturbed ground. Don't crush those precious spiritual plants."

The fifth bead snapped his fingers, and the messy and cracked ground automatically recovered, but some of the more delicate spiritual plants had been crushed.

What a waste of resources!

Xue Huan rushed forward to rescue the animal, and if it couldn't be saved, she simply washed it and ate it.

As long as these spiritual plants are not poisonous, they are all very nutritious. Eating one can keep you from being hungry for a whole day.

"I'm going into seclusion to digest my food. Please don't disturb me unless necessary." Before the Fifth Pearl finished speaking, he disappeared.

Xue Huan felt very satisfied as she saw that the space had been expanded by a large area.

The Tongtian Monument has the function of marking interfaces, otherwise it would be impossible to travel through the world, right? Before entering the spatial vortex, Xue Huan marked the Water Spirit Realm, spent 100 merit points, and successfully returned to the underground palace.

Before returning to the imperial capital, Xue Huan and Pei Ji went back to her mother's home, stayed there for half a day, had a warm meal, and then left.

Afterwards, the two of them rode the Five Elements Pearl directly to the Demon-Suppressing City. After coming out of the mansion, they headed straight for the space crack, and happened to encounter a wave of demon insects arriving.

Xue Huan set up a defensive barrier around her, held the Five Elements Beads in her hand, awakened the fifth bead, and asked it to help her release spiritual energy.

She couldn't do this originally, but now with the help of the fifth spirit bead, it is not difficult.

Pei Ji guarded her by her side, not giving those evil insects any chance to hurt her.

In the middle of the army of demon insects, there is a demon insect as big as a basketball court. It is suffocating to look at. On the back of the demon insect, a gorgeous man in a bright red brocade robe is sitting on a golden chair, and there are a group of beautiful women in cool clothes serving him.
