Shrinking? Oh my goodness! This is a huge deal!
As everyone knows, a cultivator's sea of consciousness is a very important area. As a cultivator's cultivation increases, or when they have an epiphany, their sea of consciousness will change. These changes are usually for the better. Like Zhou Yuanyuan, the increase in the area of her sea of consciousness and the addition of scenery are all good things.
But what about Wen Ziqing? The lake within his sea of consciousness was actually shrinking, albeit very slowly, so slowly that it was imperceptible to the naked eye. But Kong Ming, having spent so long within Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness, had already established a connection with it. Even though the changes in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness were minute, Kong Ming noticed them immediately.
Kong Ming was anxious.
The sea of consciousness is the most important part of a cultivator's body. The more expansive a cultivator's sea of consciousness is, the greater their future achievements will be. However, it is also their most vulnerable part. Even the most powerful cultivator will become a muddle-headed, useless being if their sea of consciousness collapses.
More importantly, Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness was now Kong Ming's home. Their spiritual treasures needed to be nurtured within their master's body, and the sea of consciousness was the best place for them. Wen Ziqing was still unconscious, and without his permission, Kong Ming couldn't break through the barrier of Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness. If Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness collapsed while he was unconscious, Kong Ming would be shattered by the force of the collapse.
Since this is a matter of life and death, it would be strange if Kong Ming was not afraid.
"Is that so? Little Stone, are you sure that my spiritual energy will be useful to your master's sea of consciousness?" The Chaos Pearl is not to be fooled. When it comes to the future man of its master, the Chaos Pearl must be cautious. If it does something bad with good intentions, its master will not forgive it!
"I... I don't know either. Maybe it could be useful?" Kong Ming thought carefully, but he felt unsure. While the Chaos Pearl's chaotic spiritual energy could nourish all things in the world, what if it had no effect on Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness?
"Little Stone, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you with this matter. Let's wait until my master comes back!" Chaos Pearl listened to Kong Ming's obviously guilty tone, sighed, and taught him a lesson.
A cultivator's journey to immortality is like a dancer walking on the edge of a knife, each step fraught with peril. Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant event can alter the fate of a cultivator's life. Countless brilliant individuals have fallen due to carelessness, demonstrating that caution is the guiding principle for cultivators. If Wen Ziqing were merely a stranger, given Kong Ming's willingness to exchange soul water, the Chaos Pearl would undoubtedly have rolled up its sleeves and channeled spiritual energy into Wen Ziqing without hesitation. However, the problem is that Wen Ziqing isn't just a stranger; he's Zhou Yuanyuan's future partner!
If Wen Ziqing encounters any bad consequences because of his spiritual energy, the Chaos Pearl can predict that Zhou Yuanyuan will definitely take action to destroy himself.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Kong Ming was in so much pain that he couldn't express it.
Every time a cultivator cultivates, the spiritual energy they absorb must circulate through their body for a full cycle to be refined. After the spiritual energy is refined, part of it enters the Dantian for storage, while the rest enters the Sea of Consciousness.
Generally speaking, a cultivator's internal spiritual energy forms its own circulation system. If one compares the Dantian to a "reservoir" storing spiritual energy, and the various parts of the cultivator's body to "rivers," then when the river dries up, the water in the "reservoir" will automatically fill the dried-up "river." As long as there's spiritual energy in the Dantian, Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness will never be lacking.
Kong Ming could feel that it was those inexplicably appearing silk threads that disrupted the flow of spiritual energy in Wen Ziqing's body. Every time the spiritual energy in Wen Ziqing's dantian was about to flow into his sea of consciousness, it was blocked by those strange silk threads.
Kong Ming's intuition told it that these silk threads were the cause of Wen Ziqing's mental abnormality.
With no other options, Kong Ming had to tell Chaos Pearl in detail about the changes that had taken place in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness. This was a matter of life and death for both its master and it was difficult for it to handle the situation alone. Kong Ming also wanted Chaos Pearl to give it some advice!
Strange lines? Some gray, some pink, blocking the spiritual energy from the Dantian into the sea of consciousness? The more Chaos Pearl listened to it, the more familiar it sounded. Why did it feel so familiar? It seemed... probably... tens of thousands of years ago, Chaos Pearl had actually heard of this strange thing.
Chaos Pearl was searching through her memories of these "threads" as Kong Ming continued to plead, "Grandma Zhuzhu, please do me a favor! First, give my master some spiritual energy to nourish his sea of consciousness. Let's see if it helps, just a little bit at a time."
The Chaos Pearl felt a little soft-hearted. How about... should it quickly call its master back to solve the current problem?
"Aunt Zhuzhu, my soul water is very fragrant and tastes great." Kong Ming was afraid that the Chaos Pearl would not agree, so he took out a small cup of soul water from his own space, kneaded it into a small ball, and sent it out from Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness.
This ball of soul water was dark, like a translucent jelly. Just as Kong Ming said, it emitted an alluring fragrance towards the Chaos Pearl.
Chaos Pearl was almost drooling.
Or? Just do as Kong Ming said and give Wen Ziqing some spiritual energy?
No, no! The master is not at home. If Wen Ziqing becomes even more stupid after the spiritual energy is injected, the master will kill me when he comes back.
Or, like Kong Ming said, lose a little bit? Anyway, the master doesn't know.
No, no, a good spiritual treasure cannot deceive its owner.
Chaos Pearl stared blankly at the ball of soul water, with a fierce battle going on in his heart.
"Isn't that enough? How about I give you another one?" Kong Ming saw that the Chaos Pearl hadn't moved for a long time and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Kong Ming's soul water was hard to come by. If it weren't for his absolute help, Kong Ming would not have been willing to take it out and exchange it for the Chaos Pearl!
"Slurp~!" Chaos Pearl's mouth was already drooling as he watched the black "Soul Water Candy" appear out of thin air again.
I'm so hungry! How about eating the food first?
The more Chaos Pearl thought about it, the better it thought this was. After all, it hadn't agreed to Kong Ming's exchange; it was Kong Ming who was just talking nonsense. These two soul waters were Kong Ming's own offering, so why not take them?
The Chaos Pearl opened its mouth wide, just about to swallow the delicious "Soul Water Candy" in one gulp.
"Zhuzhu, you are lazy again." Zhou Yuanyuan's majestic voice appeared in Chaos Pearl's ears. Along with the voice, Zhou Yuanyuan's white hand appeared. With a stretch and a contraction, Zhou Yuanyuan had already pinched the two "candies" in her hand.
"Master, master, this is mine. Little Stone gave it to me." Chaos Pearl shouted anxiously when he saw that the delicious food that was about to reach his mouth disappeared.
