Her spiritual awareness was already far beyond her own cultivation level. Now that her cultivation level had reached perfection in Qi Refining, her spiritual awareness was equivalent to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Therefore, when she was practicing the first level of "Wuji", she felt it was quite smooth and she broke through without encountering any bottlenecks.
She successfully divided her spiritual consciousness into two, two into four, four into... At this point it could not be divided any further, it could only be divided into four at most.
Four strands of spiritual consciousness stretched out like tentacles, each invading the sea of consciousness of a spirit beetle and leaving a mark on it.
Because her spiritual awareness was much higher than that of the spirit beetle, she encountered almost no obstacles in the process of leaving the mark of her spiritual awareness.
She successfully took four spirit beetles as her own.
Shen Yizi directed these four little cuties to play for a while, and let them collect a lot of spirit stones for her. She was happily collecting the spirit stones when she suddenly felt a pain in her head. She had overused her spiritual sense and had to slow down.
Looking at the large expanses of spiritual stones around him, Shen Yizhi felt like he had a long way to go. With so many, how long would it take to mine them all with just those few spiritual beetles? Shen Yizhi suddenly thought of a question: "System, does this formation open once every 15th day of every month?"
"Haha, you wish for it. Tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The next time, you may have to wait another 1,800 years."
"One thousand eight hundred years?" Shen Yizi was too weak to even exclaim.
So if she didn't pick as many as possible this time, she would never have another chance.
It's not her style to go to a mountain of treasures and come back empty-handed.
The system couldn't bear to watch any longer and reminded him, "Stupid, haven't you already mastered the first level of Wuji? You can think of controlling spirit beetles, but have you ever thought of controlling the spirit beetle king? As long as you control the beetle king, won't all the spirit beetles in this cave be at your command?"
Shen Yizi's eyes lit up, and he did what he said. He controlled the four spirit beetles to lead the way and find the insect king.
This is an extremely wide cave, with a forest of spirit stones that stretches as far as the eye can see. These spirit stones are of strange shapes, with exotic beasts and plants, and they are lifelike, as if they were living things.
Shen Yizi could even see the light emanating from the top of the hair of the strange beast closest to her. Its two eyeballs were shining brightly, and her figure was clearly reflected in them.
It is extremely quiet here, as if at some moment billions of years ago, the sky collapsed, the earth sank, the galaxy rolled back, and the vibrant creatures were frozen in time in an instant, and then wrapped in a layer of spiritual stone shell.
It has been sealed here forever since then.
Shen Yizhi felt the tremor deep in his soul.
"Don't be so shocked. It's more important to subdue the Spirit Beetle King." The system said in a very unpleasant tone.
Shen Yizhi: “…”
Fortunately, there was no need to look for it, as the Spirit Beetle King came out by itself. Probably because its peace was disturbed, it seemed very irritable as soon as it appeared, and made a sound so sharp that it distorted its soul.
Shen Yizi quickly used her spiritual power to wrap her ears. If she were to be hit like this again, she would probably be crippled.
The insect descendants summoned by the spirit beetle woke up from their slumber, rustled and moved, and rushed towards Shen Yizhi like a tide.
Her scalp suddenly felt numb, and her body moved continuously, jumping onto a spiritual stone beast. However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the spiritual beetles swarmed over her.
She had to change her position immediately and keep moving on the spiritual stone and strange beast.
Hiding like this was not a solution. Shen Yizi landed on the head of a super huge tiger-shaped monster and exchanged a Five Elements Wind and Thunder Array Plate from the mall to protect himself. He shot out his spiritual consciousness to invade the Spirit Beetle King's sea of consciousness.
The Insect King felt a great threat and let out a sharp hiss. The swarm of spirit beetles immediately swarmed over and quickly spread over, trying to devour Shen Yizi completely. However, they were blocked by the formation and many of them were killed in the first encounter.
However, these insects are not afraid of death at all. They continue to advance one after another, constantly gnawing at the protective shield formed by the formation.
Fortunately, Shen Yizi had dug up a lot of spirit stones before, which came in handy now.
But given the ferocity of the spirit beetles, the formation can only last for 10 seconds at most.
But 10 seconds is enough.
Shen Yizhi's spiritual consciousness struggled hard with the willpower of the Spirit Beetle King, invading inch by inch.
Finally, at a certain moment, the Spirit Beetle King suddenly stopped moving, and the struggle in his eyes disappeared.
Shen Yizhi successfully left a mark in the Insect King's sea of consciousness and subdued the Insect King.
She gave it her first command.
The insect swarm retreated under its command and began to frantically mine spirit stones.
Of course, Shen Yizhi in the cave didn't let them move.
She wiped her forehead, jumped off the spirit stone beast, and landed lightly on the ground. The palm-sized spirit beetle king crawled in front of her obediently and said something to her in insect language.
Because he had already left a mark in its sea of consciousness, although Shen Yizi did not understand insect language, he could understand what it meant.
The Insect King told her that there was a treasure deep in the cave. It was because of this treasure that it was able to open its spiritual wisdom and stand out from many spiritual beetles to become the Insect King.
Shen Yizi let the Insect King lead the way, and finally came to a huge and indescribable beast. The beast was dark blue and crystal clear all over, and was also made of spirit stones. Although it was a dead object, it gave people a great pressure.
The spirit beetle crawled into the beast's mouth and motioned for her to follow.
If she had not been sure that she had controlled the Spirit Beetle King, she would have thought that it wanted to take her to a secret place and kill her secretly.
Shen Yizi jumped up, and when he was exhausted, he used his toes to leverage on the monster's body, jumped up again, and dived directly into the monster's mouth.
In the belly of the strange beast, a round jade stone the size of a baby's palm was hanging in the air, emitting a vibrant green light, illuminating the space within a few meters.
Shen Yizhi thought to herself, I wonder what kind of treasure this is? Just as she was thinking about how to take it off, the jade stone flew towards her by itself. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she actually felt a sense of joy and excitement from the jade stone.
She subconsciously caught the jade.
However, the moment the jade touched her, it melted into her skin.
She was horrified, "System——"
"Don't move!"
Shen Yizhi watched helplessly as the jade completely sank into her palm. The last bit of bright light faded away, and the surroundings became dim.
The next moment, her eyes blurred and when she opened them again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
A basketball-sized golden liquid body was suspended in the air, its surface was as shimmering as water, emitting a warm light like the sun, but it was not dazzling at all. Even though Shen Yizhi looked directly at it, he did not feel any discomfort.
The sphere was translucent, and inside it was an embryo curled up, with tiny hands and feet already taking shape.
Looking at it, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, like closeness, attachment, and touching.
Shen Yizhi put a flying talisman on himself, walked to the side of the sphere, and gently placed his hand on it.
