Si Mingye stood up to look at the scenery outside the window and saw that the gushing spiritual spring had stopped flowing.
The ditches used to irrigate the medicinal herb fields had dried up. He thought to himself, "The little goddess's blessed land truly lives up to its name; even the spiritual spring used to irrigate the medicinal herb fields is fully automatic!"
"Are the fruits there edible?"
Si Mingye looked at the dozen or so fruits hanging outside and asked.
The fruits were bright red and had a strong fruity aroma; they looked delicious.
Sheng Wanwan initially wanted to say that she couldn't eat it, but after looking at Si Mingye's bloodless face, she nodded. "You can eat it, but you can only have one!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two spiritual fruits flew towards Sheng Wanwan.
Sheng Wanwan received the spiritual fruit, tossed one to Si Mingye, and ate the other herself.
She needed to quickly replenish the spiritual energy in her body. Although that evil cultivator didn't seem to have much cultivation, he was good at array formations.
Her elder brother would win if they competed in magic or martial arts, but if that guy also knew some kind of evil formation, he would be difficult to deal with. She needed to replenish her spiritual energy and quickly leave the space to check things out.
Si Mingye took the spirit fruit and looked at the bright red fruit in his hand, which emitted an enticing aroma. He couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of this blessed land.
He took a small bite, and the juice burst forth, sweet and delicious, a warm current spreading through his body. After eating the fruit, he clearly felt that his mental state had improved a lot, and even the weakness he had felt from the excessive bleeding had lessened considerably.
"This fruit is truly amazing," Si Mingye exclaimed.
"Of course, this fruit is a spiritual fruit. For us cultivators, it can enhance our spiritual power. For you mortals, it can cleanse your marrow and replenish your blood and spirit—it has many benefits!"
"However, since your blood can break the formation, you are not an ordinary person. You may even have spiritual roots!"
Sheng Wanwan suddenly laughed when she thought of this.
She ran to a corner of the room, took out her cloth bundle, took out a black pill from it, and handed it to Si Mingye.
Si Mingye looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is this?"
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill can help you eliminate impurities from your body. If you have spiritual roots, taking this pill will transform you into someone who can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and begin cultivating," Sheng Wanwan explained.
Si Mingye accepted the black Marrow Cleansing Pill, his heart filled with gratitude. "Wanwan, thank you."
"No need to thank me. I was just curious whether you have spiritual roots. If you do, then things will be much easier for me!" Sheng Wanwan said softly.
"You'll be much more relaxed? What do you mean?"
Si Mingye was puzzled!
"It's nothing, it's just that you're too weak and always need a little kid like me to protect you! I'm so tired, you should eat! If you can cultivate, you should work hard at it! Next time, it's your turn to protect me!"
Sheng Wanwan did not explain that she came into this world to protect the Great Yan dynasty.
The stronger Si Mingye, the future war god of the Great Yan Kingdom, becomes, the easier things will be for her.
Explaining these things would be too troublesome, and Si Mingye might not even believe her, so she didn't have time to talk to him about it here.
There's a huge commotion outside, she has to go help.
Si Mingye nodded upon hearing this and put the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth.
"It might hurt a little later, so please bear with it. I need to go out and help. After the impurities in your body are expelled, go wash in the spiritual spring outside. Then rest and recuperate here."
"I'll take you out after I'm done!"
Sheng Wanwan confessed!
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Si Mingye came to the bedside and sat cross-legged. Then he closed his eyes and began to feel the changes in his body.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Wanwan said nothing more and disappeared into the space.
As soon as Sheng Wanwan came out, she felt that the valley was completely dark.
She looked up and saw that the sky was covered by thick, dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.
Streaks of lightning, like giant silver dragons, pierced through the darkness and surged downwards.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The silver dragons crashed into the massive spiritual energy shield erected by Sheng Wenjin, producing a series of loud bangs.
Nearly two thousand remaining soldiers hid beneath the protective shield, their faces filled with terror.
Sheng Wenjin was pale, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, but he still firmly maintained the shield, providing the soldiers below with a final protection.
With each lightning strike he blocked, his spiritual power was depleted, and he was already feeling increasingly powerless.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Wanwan's heart tightened. She quickly erected a protective shield and ran to Sheng Wenjin's side, braving the lightning.
He tossed a spirit fruit to Sheng Wenjin, who ate it without saying a word.
After consuming the spiritual fruit, spiritual energy instantly became abundant.
The spiritual energy shield that was about to collapse solidified instantly.
Upon seeing this, all the soldiers cheered.
The little goddess is back. As expected of the little goddess, their hearts are at ease as soon as she returns.
"Little Goddess, how is His Highness the Crown Prince? Is he alright?"
Upon seeing Sheng Wanwan, An Ying immediately stepped forward and asked, his eyes filled with worry.
Sheng Wanwan said, "The Crown Prince is fine. He is currently recuperating in a safe place, so you don't need to worry."
The guards breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
If the little goddess says His Highness the Crown Prince is alright, then he must be alright.
"Brother, what about the heretical cultivators?"
Sheng Wanwan looked around but couldn't see the evil cultivator. Could it be that the evil cultivator left behind a formation and ran away?
"He's dead! But before he died, the formation was already complete; I was a step too slow to kill him!"
Sheng Wenjin spoke calmly.
"It's alright, brother! Hang in there a little longer, I'll go break the formation."
Sheng Wanwan said, her short legs leading her towards the center of the valley.
"This formation looks scary, but it's child's play compared to the ancient evil formations. This formation is called—Heavenly Punishment!"
It sounds terrifying, but it's actually just using the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, combined with the power of heaven and earth, to create a lightning attack. Anyone inside the formation will be struck by lightning as if by divine punishment, until they die.
However, this formation has a major weakness: its core. Once the core is found and destroyed, the formation will collapse on its own.
Sheng Wanwan observed the area around the center of the valley and, with her understanding of formations, quickly found the core of the formation.
It was a small hill surrounded by lightning, and on the hill was a small black stone tablet, covered with strange runes. It was these runes that guided the power of heaven and earth to form lightning.
Sheng Wanwan arrived in front of the stone tablet, waved her small hand, and sent a burst of spiritual energy toward the tablet.
The stone tablet instantly turned to dust. At the same time, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the rising sun of dawn, and also revealing thousands of masked men in black who were waiting outside the formation to trap them like turtles in a jar...
