As Sheng Ning spoke, the mangled, bloodied figure huddled in the corner stirred.
He seemed to want to stand up, but his injuries were too severe. He couldn't even move a finger, let alone stand up.
Su Daiyuan and the others followed her gaze, and when they saw Qu Zhengqing in the corner, the five brothers simultaneously looked away.
Their five pairs of eyes were even filled with disdain.
"It's alright, I'm just acting on behalf of Heaven."
Lu Qing'an smiled slightly at his junior sister.
He was already handsome, and the mere movement of his lips in a smile made the entire tomb pale in comparison.
Sheng Ning nodded upon hearing this, without expressing any doubt.
After all, those idiots from the Taixu Sect really deserved a beating.
She just didn't have the time; otherwise, she would definitely have taken action herself.
"Junior Sister just said she found a way to leave the tomb? What is it?"
Su Daiyuan looked down at Sheng Ning. Even though Sheng Ning and Kong Wu were huddled together just now, it was basically Sheng Ning who was talking the whole time.
Now that she has told them that she has found a way to leave the tomb, Su Daiyuan and the others still believe her without a doubt.
Seeing this, Xianying couldn't help but open his mouth, "I've only been away from the mainland for a while, and now the camaraderie among sects on the mainland is so... uh..."
"Is it weird?"
I simply can't find a suitable word.
He racked his brains, but could only find this one word to describe it.
Ye Si was perched on his shoulder when he heard this, and the former scoffed, "Then you haven't seen anything stranger."
The Invincible Sect practically took Sheng Ning's words as their guiding principle; several cultivators in their fifties and sixties listened to the words of a 16-year-old cultivator.
This phenomenon is impossible to occur anywhere, at any time.
The Invincible Sect succeeded; not only did they succeed, they also obeyed Sheng Ning's every command.
On the other side, Sheng Ning had already arrived at the oil lamp hanging on the stone wall, following the instructions of the little white dumpling.
"Yes, turn each oil lamp twice, and the tomb chamber will open."
"That simple?" Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
The little white dumpling nodded. "Yes, you said before that the simplest methods are often the most unexpected. Look, even with such a large group of you, you couldn't think of a solution, could you?"
Unable to refute, Sheng Ning fell silent.
If a tomb were to be built for her after her death, she might actually use this seemingly simple, yet unexpected, method as a mechanism.
Su Daiyuan and his group watched as she turned each oil lamp over twice.
Just as everyone was wondering, Sheng Ning turned the last oil lamp over twice, and the tremor under their feet made them frown.
Next, a loud crashing sound of a wall collapsing rang in everyone's ears.
The surrounding walls collapsed, and as the dust settled, everyone stared wide-eyed at Sheng Ning.
"No way, Junior Sister, you can even open the mechanisms in the Northern Secret Realm. Is there anything in this world you can't do?"
"Junior Sister is truly remarkable, but where is this?"
"This tomb chamber has actually been cracked! Where did Fellow Daoist Sheng learn the method to crack it?"
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, are you really not considering joining the Dingtian Sect? The Dingtian Sect offers excellent benefits and perks!"
......
As the walls around the tomb collapsed, Sheng Ning's gaze fell outside the walls.
Unlike the complete darkness inside the tomb, after the walls collapsed, rays of light came from all around.
Soon their surroundings were illuminated, and they were able to see their surroundings clearly.
Unlike the chilly atmosphere of the tomb, they arrived at a larger and more spacious place, resembling both a cave and a plaza.
Having learned from her previous experience entering the underground plaza, Sheng Ning frowned and immediately became wary.
"Don't be nervous, there aren't any particularly ferocious monsters here."
The little white dumpling's reminder rang in my ears.
Sheng Ning's lips twitched slightly for a moment. Her gaze swept across the scene before her, and when she saw a huge hole not far away, she spoke in a low voice.
What place is that?
Following the direction she pointed, everyone looked and, upon seeing the dark opening, their eyes revealed a hint of wariness.
In fact, Sheng Ning said these words to the little white dumpling.
'Weren't you looking for a totem? Can't you feel something calling to you from there?'
Reminded by the little white dumpling, Sheng Ning, who was on high alert, indeed felt the call coming from behind the dark cave entrance.
She frowned and said to her senior brothers, "Senior brothers, shall we go and take a look?"
Having learned from their previous experience entering the cave, this time Su Daiyuan led the way, with Sheng Ning walking in the middle and Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan walking at the back.
To avoid anything going wrong.
As the group passed through the cave and entered one by one, they heard the sound of water dripping incessantly.
It wasn't pitch black; a faint light shone from the other end of the cave entrance.
The cultivator had excellent eyesight and followed the light all the way.
After they successfully passed through the cave entrance and arrived at a wider cave, they saw a fluffy little creature inside.
Xie Wenxuan's lips twitched slightly.
"What's this?"
This is also what Sheng Ning wanted to ask.
What's this?
Just now, after she stepped into the cave, she clearly felt a voice calling to her.
As she got closer to the exit, the call grew louder.
She stopped in her tracks when she stood in the new cave and saw the fluffy little creature not far away.
The little creature turned around.
Upon seeing the little creature's green eyes, she froze on the spot, yet a strange power stirred within her.
"Chirp~?"
The little thing is fluffy, all white, a round ball, and very cute.
It did not show any fear when it saw strangers arrive.
Instead, it tilted its head and looked at the stranger, its green eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
'When your soul shattered, fragments scattered across the land; this is the closest fragment to you.'
'If you summon it, it can return to your body and become a part of you.'
The little white dumpling spoke again.
Sheng Ning blinked, and the moment she reached out her hand, she felt a gentle breeze brush against her face.
"grumble!!!"
A light, fluffy bundle nestled into his arms. Sheng Ning looked down at the little thing in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, and half-jokingly said, "Could this be one of my five elemental roots?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the little white dumpling's surprised voice rang in her ear.
'I originally thought you were mentally unstable, and that you would be reborn as either a mentally challenged or foolish person, but I never expected you to still be so intelligent.'
"That's right. When your soul shattered, it took away your five spiritual roots, leaving you with only a body that possessed five spiritual roots."
'However, the fact that you were able to cultivate this body again shows that your talent is truly innate.'
