Just now in the sea of ​​consciousness, if she hadn't forced herself to explode, she would have been gnawed to pieces by Xuan Ting! This bastard! Shen Yizhi cursed over and over in her heart, but she was still angry. But she couldn't retaliate.

Looking at Gu Xueting lying beside her, she sighed tiredly and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.

What on earth is going on? Shen Yizhi put on his clothes, got up, and went outside the house to call Yichang, who was with Qingbao.

"What? I was dreaming about stepping on my enemy and was about to kill her with a sword, but you woke me up."

Yichang's tone was a bit aggressive.

It is not ethical to disturb other people's sweet dreams, so Shen Yizi threw a drop of spiritual spring water over as compensation.

Yichang caught it accurately, and his anger dissipated a lot, and he became completely sober.

After realizing this, he felt a little scared. He looked at Shen Yizhi carefully and said, "Why did you call me here so late?"

Shen Yizhi drank a mouthful of the spiritual honey water, "I probed into Gu Xueting's sea of ​​consciousness with my spiritual sense and found——"

"What?! Sea of ​​consciousness?" Yi Chang almost jumped up, "Do you have any common sense at all?"

"What's wrong?"

Yichang was speechless, not knowing whether to say she was foolish and bold or ignorant.

"The sea of ​​consciousness is a restricted area for cultivators. Only couples who have sworn a heart-demon oath to the Heavenly Dao can enter each other's sea of ​​consciousness. And you and Gu Xueting are not even a secular couple, yet you dare to enter his sea of ​​consciousness, and he dares to let you in? You two are such a weird pair, I don't know what to say.

"If he has even the slightest distrust of you, or even the slightest desire to resist you, you're doomed, don't you know that?"

Shen Yizhi remembered that he was trapped in Xuan Ting's sea of ​​consciousness and unable to get out, so he remained silent and did not refute.

"But since you came out safe and sound, it means you trust each other very much, which is extremely rare."

Yichang's tone was somewhat melancholy, as if he was sighing and envious.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, intrigue, life and death, and the law of the jungle are the norm. Even among relatives and fellow disciples, there are countless people who turn against each other for the sake of profit. Therefore, very few cultivators are willing to open their sea of ​​consciousness to others and reveal their weaknesses.

"Even between Taoist couples, if they have not sworn a vow to protect their demons, they would not dare to easily allow the other person's consciousness to enter their own sea of ​​consciousness."

The more Yichang thought about the past, the more he felt that the trust between Shen Yizi and Gu Xueting was rare.

Shen Yizi knew about the Inner Demon Oath, which was an oath monitored by the Heavenly Dao and had a great binding force on cultivators. After all, the inner demon was no less than the nemesis of cultivators. Once one encountered the inner demon when advancing, the cultivator would fail in advancement at best, or even die at worst. This was no joke.

Once the person who swore the oath to defeat the inner demon breaks the oath, it is 100% certain that he will encounter the inner demon when advancing.

Unless that person gives up on himself and doesn't want to advance.

But is this possible? What is the purpose of a cultivator's cultivation? Isn't it to continuously advance to a powerful level and pursue the great way to achieve immortality? So this situation is basically impossible to happen.

Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. Maybe some people just don’t want to advance, or are unable to advance?

Then the Heart Demon Oath is just empty words to such people.

They don't mind breaking their oath.

However, most people are still very afraid of the Heart Demon Oath, and once it is made, they will not easily break it. When monks become Taoist companions, one of the contents of the Heart Demon Oath they make is not to harm each other by any means.

With the Heart Demon Oath as a guarantee, Taoist couples can practice dual cultivation without having to worry about the other party stabbing them in the back while they are practicing.

After all, sometimes the people closest to you are the ones who can hurt you the most.

Yichang is a living example.

Gu Xueting and Shen Yizhi relied on their trust in each other to complete the communication between their spiritual consciousness. This was incredible to Yichang.

That's why he acted so excited.

What he didn't know was that things were actually not what he thought at all.

At first, Shen Yizhi thought that Gu Xueting's sea of ​​consciousness was completely defenseless against her, but after seeing Xuan Ting and being treated like that by him, she finally understood. What a bullshit about being defenseless. Xuan Ting clearly let her in on purpose!

This bastard didn't have any good ideas from the beginning, his mind was full of dirty things! Thinking that her soul was almost in danger, she was so angry that her teeth itched.

In her past, spiritual communication was a very serious word, but now, she could no longer face this word.

"By the way, what did you say you discovered?" After saying so much, Yichang almost forgot what she wanted to say in the beginning.

Shen Yizhi's fingers unconsciously stroked the pattern on the water cup. "I found that the one in Gu Xueting's sea of ​​consciousness is Xuan Ting, and Xuan Ting said before that Gu Xueting is a part of him. I want to ask you, what does he mean by this?"

Yi Chang's expression was extremely solemn: "Tell me in detail what happened after you entered Gu Xueting's sea of ​​consciousness."

Shen Yizhi then recounted the entire story from beginning to end. Of course, he skipped over the part about how he was pressed against the tree by Xuan Ting and it was almost indescribable.

Fortunately, Yichang’s focus is not on this.

He tapped the table with his tail. "When a cultivator reaches the Spirit Severing Stage, his Spiritual Consciousness can be split into two, two into three, and three into thousands. The higher the cultivation, the more Spiritual Consciousness can be split, and the stronger each one is. From what you described, I think Gu Xueting might be a strand of Spiritual Consciousness split from Xuanting, but that's not right...

"Gu Xueting is a separate individual with a complete soul. If he is just derived from a strand of Xuan Ting's consciousness, then Xuan Ting is too amazing. But other than this, I can't think of any other possibilities."

Yichang felt his head was bald, "Next time he comes out, be nice to him, coax him, and see if you can get something out of him."

Still trying to coax him? Did he think Xuan Ting was so easy to coax? This guy was a cold-blooded, domineering and reckless person. She couldn't make any waves in front of him and could only be crushed and bullied.

Yichang yawned, "Okay, I'm going to bed now. You should also have a good rest. You will have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Isn't it? It was just dawn, and the grass by the roadside was still dotted with dew, when Shen Yizhi came out of his house.

Arriving at the lake, she called out the clam: "Have you and Chi Jin finished rehearsing?"

Chi Jin jumped out of the water, creating ripples. "Don't worry, Master. Zhenzhu and I have rehearsed everything and will do exactly what you want. Just wait for us to shine at the opening ceremony!"

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Shen Yizi gave each of them a drop of spiritual spring.
