Chapter 182 Causes of Erosion
Si Bai lowered his eyes, as if lost in memories, and continued, "After returning home that day, I was actually a little angry and humiliated, but it was okay, it didn't affect me too much.
Later, every time I went out, I would be met with countless strange looks and unbearable words, which I could hardly bear.
I locked myself in the house and didn't go out for a long time. Later, inexplicably, I suddenly forgot what happened that day.
Later, I discovered that I often lost my memory of certain things. People said I did something, but I didn’t remember the scene of me doing it.
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. So this is why he said that he was a waste who couldn't practice cultivation at Fengyun Auction House that day?
But why does this happen?
Luo Li pondered for a moment and said, "What were you thinking when you locked yourself in the room?"
Si Bai licked his dry lips, finding it difficult to speak. "I was in disbelief at the time. I kept thinking, I wish you were still someone who couldn't practice cultivation."
Si Bai pinched the corner of his clothes. He didn't dare to say the dark thoughts in his mind at that time.
He cursed out almost all the vicious curses at that time. If he told the truth, he would be killed directly by the man next to Luo Li!
But even if he said that, Luo Li knew that he was embellishing his words, but Luo Li didn't say anything.
Luo Li tapped her knuckles on the tabletop, lost in thought. "So, it's supposed to be able to seize upon the dark side of human nature and use that to invade the human body?"
When she said this, Si Bai suddenly had an idea, and the scene of that day suddenly became clear.
He said anxiously, "Yes, I had a very strong thought at that time, and then I felt a flash of red light in front of my eyes, and suddenly I lost consciousness, and then I suddenly forgot everything, and..."
Si Bai hesitated, wanting to say something but not wanting to say it.
Luo Li frowned, "What do you want to say?"
Si Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Also, it seems that after being corrupted, my cultivation speed has increased a lot. In just half a year, I have been promoted from a nine-star spiritualist to a nine-star great spiritual master."
Luo Li's eyes trembled when she heard that. Si Bai's talent was not that good. According to his original training speed, if there was no special opportunity, it would take him at least two years to become a nine-star great spiritual master.
Di Xuanming played with Luo Li's hand and said nonchalantly, "This thing is like this, it digs out the deepest evil thoughts in your heart and eventually makes you serve it, turning you into a puppet.
The so-called accelerated cultivation speed is nothing more than tapping into your full potential, allowing you to greatly increase your strength in a short period of time. After all, once your self-awareness disappears, you will no longer have the ability to cultivate."
After saying this, Di Xuanming took a sip from Luo Li's cup, raised his eyes, and said, "Haven't you noticed that your spiritual veins have completely stagnated, making it difficult to even absorb spiritual energy?"
Luo Li was startled, turned her head to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "You know so much?"
Di Xuanming pinched Luo Li's cheek affectionately and said silently, "True God..."
Si Bai was shocked and immediately lowered his consciousness. He discovered in despair that it was just as he said. His spiritual veins had almost lost the ability to absorb spiritual power. No matter how hard he worked, he could only absorb a tiny amount of spiritual power at most.
After regaining consciousness, Si Bai remained in a daze, never noticing any changes in his body. What was the difference between him and a piece of trash now?!
Luo Li asked doubtfully, "Will this situation disappear?"
Di Xuanming's voice was emotionless. "I don't know."
Si Bai was completely desperate. He didn't know, didn't that mean that he might never be able to practice again in this life?
Luo Li twitched the corners of her lips, and could tell at a glance that Di Xuanming was not telling the truth.
She leaned close to Di Xuanming's ear and asked, "Are you trying to scare him?"
Di Xuanming snorted softly, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmm? No?"
Si Bai was eroded for a short time, so he will recover, but it will take at least three or four years, and his cultivation speed by then will definitely not be as fast as before the erosion.
It can be considered a sequelae.
Luo Li chuckled and squeezed Di Xuanming's big hand, "Okay, okay."
Di Xuanming pursed his thin lips and felt a little better.
Si Bai was immersed in sadness and didn't notice the two people's whispers.
Si Nian watched from the side and had no intention of saying anything. She felt that it was time for her brother to calm down.
This experience may not be a bad thing.
Luo Li felt that she had understood most of it. Si Bai's explanation was very vague, so it would be better to ask Di Xuanming.
He seemed to know a lot.
Although Qingfeng has gained five years, it will come back again after five years. It is not a bad thing for her to know more about it now.
Luo Li stood up, "Si Nian, we're leaving first."
Si Nian nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Luo Li waved her hand, "No need."
Luo Li really didn't have a good impression of Si Bai, and didn't intend to pay any attention to him. She stood up and prepared to walk out.
Si Bai's face turned pale. He called out to her and said to Luo Li with difficulty, "Luo Li, I'm really sorry for what happened back then."
He was indeed possessed by the devil at that time and actually did such an uncultured thing.
Luo Li didn't look at him. She turned around and walked out of the yard. Only two words came from the wind, "No need."
Si Bai loosened his clenched fists, took two steps back dejectedly, and sat down on the stool.
Si Nian looked at this scene, shook his head and sighed, then turned and left.
After leaving Si Bai and Si Nian's residence, Luo Li did not rush home, but strolled around the imperial capital with Di Xuanming.
As they walked, Luo Li raised her hand and cast a protective shield over the two of them to prevent others from prying. Then she asked, "Do you know what that strange power is?"
Di Xuanming held Luo Li's hand, slowly separated her fingertips, and put his big hand in, interlocking their fingers.
His dark eyes fell on their hands and he whispered, "Well, Ari, what do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know."
Luo Li let him mess around, thought for a moment, and said, "Then tell me about the relationship between these black eyes and that true god."
Emperor Xuanming thought for a moment and spoke slowly:
“I don’t know much about this kind of power. I only know that it seems to be the original power of the True God.
Moreover, this power did not come from the Continent of Gods, but was the power left behind by the true gods in the ancient ruins during the war of gods tens of thousands of years ago.
Nowadays, many ancient ruins have been discovered, and the power from the War of the Gods is slowly overflowing because it is no longer sealed.
At the current rate, the Tianyuan Continent will be completely destroyed within two years."
Luo Li now really feels that the word "True God" is a bit harsh. He should not be called "True God". Considering what he has done, the word "False God" is more suitable for him.
Seeing that Luo Li didn't reply, Di Xuanming continued, "What's strange is that not long ago, this leaked power seemed to have completely disappeared..."
