Chen Yuan smiled. What he didn't say was that this song contained his blessing. The songs of the mermaids weren't just for pleasure, but had a purpose, whether it was blessing, confusion, or curse...
To achieve this goal, you must infuse your mind with power while singing.
The song he just sang consumed a lot of his mental energy, so much so that his head was aching slightly now.
Each master gave her a unique gift. Xue Huan felt deeply touched and decided to prepare a feast to repay them. She asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Zi Gu: "Barbecue!"
Sanbaqian: "Hot pot!"
Sky-Devouring: "Barbecue."
Wu Huan: "Hot pot."
Chen Yuan: "Barbecue."
Zi Gu: "The minority obeys the majority, let's eat barbecue!"
Can Baqian disagreed: "Why should the minority obey the majority? Isn't the hot pot delicious?"
Seeing that the two factions were about to quarrel, Xue Huan said, "Why choose? Can't we enjoy both? Let's arrange hot pot and barbecue!"
A few people were stunned for a moment and then cheered.
Although Xue Huan was a pregnant woman and still in her early pregnancy, Zi Gu and the others already treated her as a fragile treasure. She was not allowed to do anything by herself and was told to leave the manual work to them. She only had to give the orders.
Having followed her for so many meals, Zi Gu and the others had done a lot of hard work before, so now they have become very skilled and can do the work quite well.
Xue Huan had no choice but to sit aside, drinking spiritual dew, eating lotus seeds, and directing everyone to cut, wash, stew, and cook.
An hour later, everything was ready. The hot pot was boiling, the meat was put on the grill, and the rich aroma filled the courtyard.
During the meal, Xue Huan briefly recounted what had happened outside over the past few months, letting Zi Gu and the others know the context. Then she asked, "Do you know how to eliminate that spatial rift?"
Zi Gu: "The cracks in space cannot be eliminated, they can only be patched up."
"Fill it up? How?" Xue Huan put a piece of meat in her bowl.
Zi Gu happily took the piece of meat into her mouth and said, "Well, you've heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky, right?"
Xue Huan had certainly heard of this. "Legend has it that in ancient times, four pillars supporting the sky collapsed, and the land of Kyushu was shattered. The sky could no longer cover the earth, and the earth could no longer support all things. Fires spread unquenchable, floods raged, and wild beasts raged.
"To save humanity, Nuwa smelted five-colored stones to repair the sky, cut off the legs of a giant sea turtle to make pillars to support the sky, and piled up reed ash to stop the flood..."
Zi Gu raised a finger as slender and white as a water scallion and shook it. "No, no, the idea of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting is all human fantasy. In reality, the space wall was broken, and a big hole appeared. You can imagine the world as a bubble. The membrane is the space wall, and there is a hole in it. If this hole is not patched, the whole bubble will burst sooner or later. This is the truth of Nuwa mending the sky."
Xue Huan: "...So this is the truth."
Why did Zi Gu also know about Nuwa? Although she and Xue Huan were in two completely different worlds, their backgrounds were largely the same. Xue Huan's Water Spirit Realm probably evolved tens of thousands of years after Zi Gu's world, so they could be said to be of the same lineage.
Fundamentally speaking, the two worlds are one, just in different timelines.
Zi Gu: "Some scraps of the five-colored stones that Nuwa refined back then have been scattered throughout the human world. As long as we find those scraps and smelt them, we should be able to patch up the crack you mentioned."
But the question arises again, "It's been so long, are those scraps still there?"
Zi Gu: "You don't have to worry about that. The five-colored stones are divine stones that contain the power of space. They won't be destroyed even after hundreds of millions of years, let alone tens of thousands of years. But it's hard to say whether they have changed their form. Maybe in these tens of thousands of years, they have developed intelligence and transformed into human form, or some other form.
"But no matter what form they take, one thing remains constant: the power of space within them. So you only need to find those objects that possess the power of space and return them to their original form."
It sounds simple, but it is not an easy task to distinguish the power of space, find things that have the power of space and how to return them to their original form.
Zi Gu: "The power of space can probably only be sensed by those with spatial spiritual roots, so you must first find someone with spatial spiritual roots, and then have him or her help you find one. Alternatively, you might have a spatial spiritual artifact. A spiritual artifact is a magical instrument that has already developed initial spiritual intelligence, and it can also sense the power of space. Of course, if it's a spatial treasure, immortal artifact, or even a divine artifact, that would be even better."
"It's said that a space artifact is equivalent to a complete small world. With such an artifact, why worry about not finding it?"
Can Baqian, who had been unable to get a word in, sneered, "A spatial artifact? You really think so. A treasure like that can only be possessed by a powerful immortal, right?"
Xue Huan's heart was pounding. Originally, she only knew that the Five Elements Bead was a rare treasure, but she didn't expect it to be a divine artifact!
Seeing her stunned, Zi Gu asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, I was wondering how to find someone with spatial spiritual roots."
Xue Huan only knew about the five elements spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the three spiritual roots of wind, ice and thunder that were mutated from the five elements spiritual roots, and the chaos five elements spiritual root that she herself possessed. This was the first time she heard of space spiritual roots.
Zi Gu: "You can only use the spirit stones to test one by one. If you have a spatial spirit root, then the spirit stone will emit a silver light. However, spatial spirit roots are extremely rare, and there may not be one in a million people. You must be prepared for a long search."
Afterwards, she told Xue Huan about some of the characteristics of spatial spiritual roots, and also gave her a book of exercises that people with spatial spiritual roots could practice - "All Laws are Empty".
After practicing, those with spatial spiritual roots will have a stronger sense of things that possess spatial power.
After coming out of the Soul Realm, Xue Huan asked Pei Ji to send people to find people with spatial spiritual roots.
Each state and county has set up a spiritual root testing point to test people for spiritual roots free of charge, and the results will be recorded after the test.
Because warriors and soldiers are the main force in resisting the demon insects, the current atmosphere in Daqi has tended to respect the strong. The status of warriors is much higher than before, and cultivators have become the existence that everyone aspires to.
After the spiritual root testing points were set up, the people went there on their own initiative for testing without any forced supervision from the government, and they were extremely envious of those who tested positive for spiritual roots.
Therefore, Xue Huan easily obtained the test results of the people in various counties and prefectures of Daqi.
The probability of possessing spiritual roots is less than one in ten thousand, and among those who have been detected to have spiritual roots, most have mixed spiritual roots. There are too few people with single day spiritual roots, and no space spiritual roots have been found so far.
Perhaps when the spiritual energy in the water spirit world becomes richer in the future, the probability of people having spiritual roots will increase. By then, on a larger base, there will be a person with space spiritual roots.
Fortunately, Xue Huan has another way to find the five-colored stone.
