Chapter 242 I'm a genius, after all!



No, it won't.

Xia Changsheng and Zheng Xiangyi answered in unison, their tone full of certainty.

Seeing that Ye Sisi was somewhat dazed, Su Jiuli continued to ask, "Senior, can you tell us who this senior you're talking about is?"

Xia Changsheng did not hesitate at all: "Senior's name is Yun Chu. He is an extremely powerful divination cultivator. He was already making plans before the war between humans and demons began. Otherwise, the cultivation world would have long been a place where demons raise and feed on their blood."

Ye Sisi could hear the reverence in his tone, but she kept repeating the name in her mind. Then, for some reason, she thought of Duanmu Xin again. Could the two of them be related?

Su Jiuli continued, "What about Senior Yun Chu?"

Xia Changsheng and Zheng Xiangyi shook their heads simultaneously.

"When we died, Senior Yun Chu was still alive."

Su Jiuli then used her spiritual power to conjure a portrait for them to see: "Do you seniors recognize this person?"

The portrait belongs to Duanmu Xin, who clearly shared the same idea as Ye Sisi. However, to their disappointment, both Xia Changsheng and Zheng Xiangyi gave a negative answer.

For a moment, none of them could think of what to ask, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After digesting the information she had received that day, Ye Sisi asked, "Senior, how many seniors are there in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land?"

Zheng Xiangyi smiled and said, "Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. You have performed the rites for the deceased three thousand three hundred and thirty-three in the past few days. The number is very auspicious."

Ye Sisi was very worried about her life ahead. She had only managed to help more than 3,000 people pass on in about four days. How long would it take her to help more than 90,000 people pass on?

I did a quick mental calculation, and it seems alright; I should be able to finish it in three months.

Then he turned to Su Jiuli and the others and said, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, I've decided to stay and see the seniors off. Why don't you go back first?"

Seeing that the others were looking at Ye Sisi with disapproval, Zheng Xiangyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will take good care of your junior sister."

Seeing that the others still didn't speak, he continued, "From today onwards, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land will be completely closed. Apart from Sisi and you, no third person can enter. The cultivators currently in the Forbidden Land, and even those in the Soul Beast Tower, will also leave this place."

Zheng Xiangyi said this to Su Jiuli.

Su Jiuli raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Senior can control the external restrictions now?"

Zheng Xiangyi smiled and nodded: "I've only been able to control it for a short time."

Su Jiuli thought for a moment and then looked at Ye Sisi: "Have you thought it through?"

Ye Sisi nodded gently: "I've thought it through. Don't worry, I'll be fine. By the way, the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm of the Tianji Sect will be opening soon. Wuhen has been sleeping for a long time. When the time comes, please help me throw him in for a soak."

As she spoke, she handed Wuhen to Su Jiuli, who accepted it with a hum.

Bai Luochen grumbled somewhat unhappily, "Why can only Senior Brother come in? Why can't we?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangyi smiled and said, "No, you can't," but she didn't explain anything further.

Ye Sisi stayed, and her daily work consisted of performing rituals to help the souls of the dead pass away, followed by meditation and cultivation.

Every time she sees the smiling faces of those who have regained their senses, she can't help but feel a pang of sadness, and then she will work even harder to help them pass on.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, the souls she helped to transcend did not leave behind any soul crystals. Of course, even if they had, she wouldn't have used them.

Even if these predecessors were evil spirits before, and even if they were resurrected after being killed, soul crystals are condensed from soul power, which will definitely harm them.

As for the soul crystals she had obtained before, she tried to purify them with merit. And it actually worked! Although losing these soul crystals meant she couldn't quickly improve her divine soul, she didn't regret it.

I thought it would be over in three months, but the ritual actually lasted for a full six months.

Su Jiuli visited her twice. Wuhen had awakened after being soaked in the Heavenly Pool spring water and was now being nurtured in her dantian.

As for the rest, Su Jiuli didn't tell her, nor did she ask. She felt that the most important thing right now was to pray for the souls of these predecessors who had risked their lives for the cultivation world.

As the ghosts disappeared one by one, the yin energy, evil energy, and ghostly energy in the forbidden land of the underworld gradually dissipated, and the spiritual energy that had been suppressed slowly returned.

Ye Sisi looked at Zheng Xiangyi and the other three in front of her. After half a year of her efforts, only the four ghost kings remained in the entire Yellow Springs Forbidden Land.

"Seniors, it's your turn."

The group of people—or rather, the ghosts—exchanged glances, stepped forward simultaneously, and then raised their hands to their foreheads. In a short while, a pure silver-white soul crystal appeared in each of their hands.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Consider this a thank you gift. You don't need to refuse; we don't really need it anyway."

Ye Sisi glanced at the group of people, silently accepted the gift, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Farewell, seniors. We will meet again someday."

The group couldn't help but laugh. Would they meet? Probably, who knows?

"By the way, Sisi, please help take the Soul Beast Tower out with you. It will find a good place for itself."

Ye Sisi nodded, took the Soul Beast Tower, bowed deeply to the four people, and then sat down cross-legged to begin reciting the Soul Crossing Scripture.

As the four ghost kings dissipated, the Forbidden Land of the Underworld slowly began to fade into the void. Ye Sisi was startled. She was still here. What if some spatial storm came and took her to some strange place?

Perhaps feeling that she had been working hard recently, the Heavenly Dao did not cause any trouble. Although the space was slightly disturbed, she landed safely on the open ground outside the former Forbidden Land of the Underworld.

When Bai Luochen saw her come out, he ran over and gave her a big hug: "Junior Sister, you've finally come out!"

Ye Sisi hugged him back and looked behind him over his shoulder: "Fifth Senior Brother, why are you the only one who came to pick me up? Where are Second Senior Sister and the others?"

Bai Luochen let go of his hand, displeased, and said, "What, you don't want me to pick you up?"

Seeing that her silly fifth senior brother looked angry, Ye Sisi quickly said pitifully, "Fifth senior brother, how dare you be mean to me? Do you know how I've been these past few months? I haven't eaten or drunk anything, and I haven't had a single moment of rest..."

Bai Luochen's tense face immediately broke into a smile: "Alright, stop acting. It was just a joke. Senior Brother and the others are busy. Didn't he tell you when he came in?"

"say what?"

“Our Tianling Sect has taken in a lot of disciples and has been extremely busy lately. I finally managed to get the job you asked me to do, I was practically throwing a tantrum on the ground.”

"You've taken on disciples too? Didn't you say you'd wait until you reached the Nascent Soul stage before taking on disciples...?"

She was stunned as soon as she got to this point. Bai Luochen had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. "No, Fifth Senior Brother, you shouldn't be under too much pressure lately, right? How did you improve so quickly?"

Bai Luochen proudly raised his chin: "Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm a genius after all!"
