No one expected that the Taixu Sect actually hid two totems.
As soon as Sheng Ning pushed open the door of the hut, before he could even cough from the smoke and dust in front of him, he was drawn up by a familiar feeling inside the hut.
'It's a fragment of your soul.'
The little white dumpling spoke up at the right moment to explain the inexplicable sense of familiarity to Sheng Ning.
Upon hearing that the hut contained fragments of her own soul, Sheng Ning blinked and saw two small points of light floating in mid-air in the empty hut.
Perhaps because it had been imprisoned for too long, the light around the little dot was very faint.
It is gold and earthy yellow.
Metal-type spiritual root and earth-type spiritual root.
After hearing the little white dumpling's explanation, Sheng Ning couldn't help but take a step into the hut.
The two small dots of light seemed to only then realize that someone had come in.
Even the fragments of Sheng Ning's own soul hid in a corner the moment they sensed someone entering the room.
With a furrowed brow, Sheng Ning narrowed her eyes, "What element does Rong Zhuo's spiritual root belong to among the five elements?"
These words were spoken to Qin Chuan.
The latter's expression remained blank after the door was opened.
Upon hearing Sheng Ning's question, he blinked and replied in a hoarse voice, "It is a dual-elemental spiritual root of metal and earth."
In ancient times, dual-elemental spiritual roots were everywhere, but they are rare nowadays.
Rong Zhuo possesses dual spiritual roots, both defensive and offensive, so theoretically there should be very few people in the entire cultivation world who could defeat him.
But tonight he encountered Sheng Ning, who doesn't play by the rules.
While others fight one-on-one, only Sheng Ning can summon three divine beasts and several divine artifacts.
As a result of divine retribution, Rong Zhuo perished at the summit of the Taixu Sect's main peak.
After hearing what Qin Chuan said, Sheng Ning smiled sneer, "He's quite capable, managing to find two fragments of my soul."
"And it also corresponds to the Five Elements."
Qin Chuan's pupils contracted sharply for a moment.
He was still standing at the door of the small house, not even stepping over the threshold, even though he could already sense that the treasure inside was a precious gem with a metal and earth spiritual root.
To his surprise, the totem in the hut was the one that others had been searching for—a fragment of Sheng Ning's soul.
Qin Chuan's throat bobbed, his voice becoming even hoarse, "Zong... Rong Zhuo wants to become the new savior."
As Sheng Ning walked toward the two small points of light hiding in the hut, he nodded and said, “Sending you to the Northern Secret Realm to find the totem was a terrible mistake.”
She turned around and glanced at the man behind her. "Who would have thought that you would abandon the darkness and turn to the light, giving up your position as the chief disciple of the Taixu Sect, and come to hang out with us disciples from small sects?"
She said this with a smile on her lips.
The light from the two tiny gold and earth beads shone on her face, making her small face appear even more radiant and lovely.
Qi Wenyao finally came to his senses.
He wanted to follow in Sheng Ning's footsteps and see what Sheng Ning's soul fragments looked like.
But just as he took his first step, a large hand landed on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.
"Sheng Ning, how do you know this is a fragment of your soul?"
Even if they already believed that Sheng Ning was the creator god and the savior.
Qi Wenyao was still curious about the matter of reincarnation.
Su Daiyuan grabbed his shoulder to stop him from going forward, so he could only stand on tiptoe to look at the two small points of light.
It's weird.
Even though they were fragments of a soul, neither of the two fragments seemed to possess much spiritual power.
Sheng Ning spread his hands, a helpless smile appearing on his lips, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask my senior brothers a question."
Her gaze fell on Su Daiyuan. "Senior Brother, when you meditate and cultivate, can't you see the small, colorful lights around you?"
"Blue represents water-based spiritual energy, earth-yellow represents earth-based energy, gold represents metal-based energy, green represents wood-based energy, and red represents fire-based energy."
"After my second senior brother brought me back to the Invincible Sect, and he gave me some introductory books, I was able to see these small points of light after I tried meditating and cultivating."
At first, she made a big blunder, grabbing at a small, colored dot.
Later, I learned that the small points of light that appeared after she meditated and cultivated represented the five elements of spiritual energy.
This time, not only Su Daiyuan shook his head, but Qi Wenyao and Qin Chuan also shook their heads.
Qi Wenyao looked at Sheng Ning with an expression of utter disbelief, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, you can actually see all the different colors of spiritual energy?"
Su Daiyuan frowned. "This is not a bad thing. Junior Sister's five elemental roots are well-nurtured."
"How did you manage to see the colors of the five elements' spiritual energy, Junior Sister?"
Qi Wenyao rolled his eyes at him, "What else could it be? She's a pervert!"
“No wonder Fellow Daoist Sheng’s cultivation speed is so fast,” Qin Chuan said knowingly. “According to Fellow Daoist Sheng, seeing and catching the small light spot can improve one’s cultivation level.”
"This is undoubtedly a good thing."
Only then did Sheng Ning realize that among the vast majority of cultivators in this world, and even throughout the entire cultivation world, she was the only one who had improved her cultivation by catching small points of light.
If she had known this before, she would have thought it was the second cheat code she gained after transmigrating into the book.
But she is no longer the Sheng Ning she once was; she now has another identity.
With a slight pursing of her lips, Sheng Ning turned around and her gaze fell once again on the two small points of light, gold and earth.
Perhaps because it was a fragment of the soul of the former 'Sheng Ning', she was able to sense the thoughts of the little light spot after staying in the small house for a long time.
At first, there was fear and dread.
Because she hadn't gone forward to harm them, the two little lights gradually lowered their guard.
When Sheng Ning turned around and looked at them again, they were so frightened that they hid in the corner once more.
The corners of his lips involuntarily turned up.
Sheng Ning stepped forward and stopped a few steps away from the two small points of light.
She crouched down and whispered to them, "Do you still recognize me?"
'Tens of thousands of years have passed since your physical body and soul were destroyed. I don't know how Rong Zhuo found them.'
Unlike the fragments of wood-type spiritual roots in the Northern Secret Realm, their energy is very weak.
'If you had arrived any later, Sheng Ning, you would never have been able to go back to the way things were, nor save the world.'
The little white dumpling's serious voice rang in my ears.
Sheng Ning did not answer when she heard this. After feeling the two small lights gradually relax, she slowly and tentatively stretched out her arm.
"What I want to save is not the common people, but the people I care about."
A gentle, melodious murmur reached the little white dumpling's ears.
He scoffed and chuckled, "You're just being stubborn. Even in your past life, you said it was to save those around you, but in the end, you still..."
"What's the difference? In order to save the people you care about, you also save the common people."
“Zhuzhao, I am not the Virgin Mary. There are good and bad people in the world, so why should I bother to save them?”
“But my senior brothers, my master, and my friends are worth it, because of them, there is the Shengning we have today.”
