Chapter 252: Spiritual Vein Collapse
As soon as the world consciousness said this, Shen Yijin felt that his body began to move uncontrollably towards the shrine.
She immediately mobilized all her spiritual consciousness, trying to fight against the power that controlled her, but the effect was very weak, and she could only watch herself getting closer and closer to the shrine.
Nan Mingcheng sensed something was wrong, grabbed Shen Yijin's arm, pulled her into his arms, and restrained her with both hands to prevent her from getting close to the shrine.
Nan Mingcheng held Chen Yijin and slowly retreated, trying to stay as far away from the shrine as possible.
As Shen Yijin moved further away from the shrine, the power that controlled her actions became weaker.
She enveloped herself with her spiritual consciousness and temporarily broke free from control.
"I can't get close to the shrine, Mingcheng, can you destroy it remotely?" Chen Yijin exhaled a breath of foul air, knowing that if she didn't destroy the shrine, she and Nan Mingcheng would never be able to leave the spiritual vein.
She was a little annoyed. If she had known that killing the elders of the Meteorite Sect would attract the attention of the world consciousness in advance, she should have left at least one person alive. She should have waited for them to survive for a while and destroyed a few more shrines of the world consciousness. Then, after her Jiuxuan Sect had been operating for a while and gained more power of faith, she could have killed them all.
Now they are completely unprepared and are facing the world consciousness directly, which is a bit difficult.
Nan Mingcheng looked at the shrine and estimated in his mind, but he had no idea.
He let the Evil Slayer Sword lead the other swords to tentatively approach the shrine, trying to let the swords destroy the shrine: "I'll try, I don't know if it will work."
Several long swords were pointed towards the shrine, with only one purpose - to smash the shrine into pieces.
But except for the Evil-Slaying Sword, most of the other swords could not touch the shrine. Even less than half of the swords were controlled by the world consciousness, guarding the shrine in turn and fighting with other swords.
There was a melee around the shrine. The other swords were of no use except for the Evil-Slaying Sword, which kept scraping the shrine. It was unknown how much damage it had caused.
Chen Yijin and the others watched this scene and felt that if the Evil-Slaying Sword could hold out for a while longer, it should be able to destroy the shrine.
The two waited patiently, and when they saw the shrine shattered in half, they unconsciously slowed down their breathing.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the swords that were previously controlled by the world consciousness stopped and no longer moved.
Only then did Chen Yijin whisper to Nan Mingcheng: "Are we successful?"
Nan Mingcheng pursed his lips, thinking of how Chen Yijin was controlled to walk towards the shrine on her own initiative to sacrifice herself, and he didn't dare to let her get closer.
He let Shen Yijin stand still and decided to go over to check the situation himself: “I’ll go and take a look. If the shrine is really destroyed, I’ll tell you. Then you can come over.”
Chen Yijin watched Nan Mingcheng walk towards the shrine step by step, feeling a little worried.
It would certainly be unsafe for her to go, but Nan Mingcheng must have been resentful of him for asking Zhanxie Sword and the others to destroy the shrine. If the shrine was still functioning, he would be walking into a trap if he went there now.
But in this situation, someone had to go over to check the situation, so Shen Yijin did not stop Nan Mingcheng.
Nan Mingcheng walked to the shrine and confirmed that it had been destroyed by the Sword of Slaying Evil.
"Yi Jin, don't come over yet. Although the shrine has been destroyed, His power still remains. I..." Before Nan Mingcheng could finish his words, the shrine began to shake.
The voice of the world consciousness sounded in their ears: "Hahaha, you think you can destroy my shrine like this? You overestimate your own abilities! Thank you for opening the way to the human world for me!"
As He finished speaking, the shrine disappeared, the spiritual veins began to vibrate, and there were signs of collapse.
Chen Yijin thought something was wrong and quickly dragged Nan Mingcheng out of the spiritual vein.
Before going out, he didn't forget to bring Lan Cui with him.
As soon as they stepped out of the spiritual vein, the spiritual vein collapsed.
Lan Cui looked at the rubble behind her, her eyes wide with shock: "What did you do on the top of the mountain? How come the spiritual vein was broken?"
"Not only the spiritual vein, but this place will also collapse if we wait any longer!" Shen Yijin sighed. When he let Lan Cui enter the spiritual vein, he never thought that the spiritual vein would collapse one day. Now that the spiritual vein is destroyed, this space that depends on the spiritual vein will also disappear. Where to arrange Lan Cui afterwards is a problem.
Time was running out, and Shen Yijin had no time to think about it. He grabbed Lan Cui and returned to Jiuxuan Sect with Nan Mingcheng.
Returning to the real world, Lan Cui felt that her soul was being pulled by a force. She immediately realized that she might be pulled back to the island.
Lan Cui hurriedly grabbed Shen Yijin's arm and pleaded painfully: "I'm going to be pulled back to the island, save me, I don't want to go back and merge with the island again!"
Lan Cui's situation was special, and Shen Yijin was powerless to help.
But she had set up a formation in Jiuxuan Sect to isolate it from the outside world. Logically speaking, Lan Cui could not leave Jiuxuan Sect without her permission.
"Calm down, there is a formation here, you should not be able to leave." Shen Yijin looked around, looking for a place where Lan Cui could stay temporarily.
In the woods, Song Shu heard a familiar voice and took the initiative to greet Lan Cui: "Hey, so you are also in Jiuxuan Sect! It's very comfortable here. If you practice here, you should be able to get rid of the control of that island soon."
There is currently no precedent for people surviving after integrating with the island. Song Shu only made a suggestion, but Shen Yijin found direction from it.
Shen Yijin's eyes lit up, and he found a thriving ginkgo tree and stuffed Lan Cui's soul into it.
Before Lan Cui could react, she turned into a tree that could not move. She reacted belatedly and the pulling force disappeared.
Unlike trees and islands, Lan Cui's consciousness is still there and will not be assimilated by the trees.
"You practice well here. When you reach a certain level, you will be able to transform into a human form." After Shen Yijin finished speaking, he handed Lan Cui to the pine tree to learn the methods of survival and practice of trees.
After she transformed into a human form as a tree demon, she had nothing to do with the island anymore.
After solving Lan Cui's problem, there was no joy on Shen Yijin's face.
Nan Mingcheng's expression was not good either: "Shouldn't we destroy that shrine?"
Chen Yijin shook his head: "His words are not credible, but the remaining power of that spiritual vein has been absorbed by Him, and His recovery time will definitely be shortened. We can't wait any longer, we have to take the initiative to attack."
Before, Lan Yin said that they still had five years to find a way to deal with the world consciousness, but now it seems that they may only have more than two years left.
The world consciousness, which has recovered some of its power, will no longer remain dormant as before. It hates humans and will definitely cause trouble for them from time to time.
"You go and talk to the special department about this matter, I will go find Lan Yin again." Chen Yijin thought for a long time, sent Nan Mingcheng away, and called a few disciples under his tutelage, asking them to think of ways to organize activities to increase the popularity of Jiuxuan Sect, and then he went down to find Lan Yin.
