"So, that giant slug was also your doing?"

Yun Si Ning asked.

"You mean that little guy? He was indeed raised by me."

Si Yiqi smiled.

"The so-called slug you mentioned is also an ancient mythical beast, but it is of a much lower rank than the Azure Dragon. I used it as the guardian of that small world."

"Huh?"

Yun Si Ning suddenly had a question.

"When I went to your palace, it felt like it hadn't been opened for many years. Why is that?"

Hearing her ask this, Si Yiqi sighed softly.

"Do you remember what I just said, that I divided the soul into three parts, but retained a part of the corrupted soul?"

"Of course I remember."

Yun Si Ning frowned.

"I was just about to ask you, why don't you separate that part of your soul and desires from your body together? Isn't leaving it inside a potential problem?"

"It's not as simple as you make it out to be."

Si Yiqi exhaled and said calmly.

"The reason why the desire soul could be easily separated is mainly because the remaining two parts of my soul reached a consensus and worked together to fight against the desire soul."

"If I were to separate the third part of the soul along with it, I would inevitably face an extremely strong counterattack."

"Do you understand what I mean? My body is not entirely controlled by a pure divine soul."

"Hiss... I think I understand."

Hua Yuncang nodded and said.

"After your soul splits into three, the three separate souls will fight for control of the body."

Yun Si Ning suddenly realized that this situation seemed somewhat like schizophrenia.

"For a long time after the desires were separated, my body was still completely controlled by the pure soul, and the polluted parts lay dormant."

Si Yiqi continued.

"After more than two thousand years of stability, the dormant pollution finally erupted one day."

"what happened?"

"At that time, I was in my palace when the half of my soul that was corrupted suddenly erupted and began to fight for control of my body."

"Its outburst came without any warning, leaving me no time to prepare. Within my sea of ​​consciousness, two strands of divine souls began a fierce battle."

"Only then did I realize that part of the soul had already been severely polluted. The source of pollution left by Geng Di had never disappeared, and it had become extremely insane."

"Its attack was extremely fierce. It did not intend to peel the pure part of my soul out of my body like a lustful soul, but rather to swallow it whole in one gulp."

"It was this slight greed that gave me the last chance to fight back."

Si Yiqi's expression was solemn as she recounted the story, and Yun Sining and the others could sense from her words how dangerous the situation had been.

“I pretended to be exhausted, luring it into a slump, and when it was about to devour me, I fought back and sealed that part of my soul inside the palace.”

"Although the ban was successful, I paid an unimaginable price."

She sighed softly.

"I have almost exhausted all my strength, and my sea of ​​consciousness has also suffered considerable damage."

"In order to separate that part of the soul from the body, I had no choice but to use the entire small world as the base of the array."

"you mean?"

"Um."

Si Yiqi nodded, confirming Yun Sining's guess.

"In order to seal it away, I gave up control of that small world. It couldn't leave, but it became the only master there."

"After I left there, that guy changed the spatial coordinates of the small world, making it impossible for me to go back."

"So that's how it is."

Yun Sining suddenly felt enlightened, but she still had some doubts.

"That doesn't make sense. How could Xinglong Pavilion know the location of your palace in the real world?"

"I think you can guess the reason. Do you remember that handwritten note?"

"Um……"

Hearing her say that, and considering her own past experiences, Yun Sining's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh.

"Oh, I see."

"What happened?"

Hua Lu and Hua Yuncang were still completely bewildered.

Yun Si Ning looked at Si Yi Qi.

"You sealed that thing in that small world, so it tried to spread those handwritten letters to lure cultivators there."

"Once a suitable cultivator enters the small world, it will guide him step by step to your palace, and then seize his body."

"So, it wasn't you who tried to possess me before, but the corrupted part of my soul."

Yes, just as you said.

Si Yiqi clapped her hands with a smile.

"Only by possessing your body will that guy have a chance to escape the shackles of that small world."

"Furthermore, if it senses my presence, it will immediately change the spatial coordinates of the small world, which is why I have never been able to find its location all these years."

"so."

At this point, Si Yiqi stood up and looked at Yun Sining.

"After saying all this, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What...what should I do?"

"I need you to help me return to my palace and get rid of that guy."

"It failed to possess me; I had already destroyed it by then."

Unexpectedly, Si Yiqi shook her head.

"It won't be so easily eliminated; it must still be there."
