"How exactly did you escape?"
Yun Si Ning was very curious. According to Si Yi Qi's description, Geng Di had already made up his mind to kill her.
"At that time, I had been driven to the brink by Geng Di. His strength was completely beyond my ability to cope with, and I was completely overwhelmed in a head-on confrontation."
Si Yiqi said.
"But just as he was about to make his move, something inside me was suddenly activated."
"What?"
"Divine right, my divine right."
"You also have divine authority?"
"Yes, I absorbed it into my body a long time ago, but I didn't know what it was at the time."
"Until the battle with Geng Di, the intense desire completely awakened the divine power within me."
At this point, Si Yiqi looked at Yun Sining with a smile in her eyes.
Do you know what kind of divine authority I have awakened?
What is it?
Yun Si Ning was taken aback, then seemed to realize something.
"It can't be..."
“That’s right, I think you’ve probably already figured it out. One of the abilities I’ve awakened is the life authority that’s currently within you.”
"The power over life was originally your ability?"
"Wait, no, you said 'one of,' could there be others?"
"Yes, I awakened more than one ability at once, which is why I was able to escape from Geng Di."
"But even so, my situation is still not optimistic."
Si Yiqi placed her hands on her thighs, her gaze shifting downwards, as memories of a thousand years ago surfaced in her mind.
"After escaping the Changqing Sect, I fled south under the pursuit of Geng Di."
"I kept running and running until I was almost completely exhausted before I stopped."
"The place where I stopped back then is now the Southern Flame Realm."
"So you escaped to the Southern Flame Realm."
"At that time, there was no Southern Flame Realm. The current five major realms had not yet been formed and all belonged to the territory of the Great Long Dynasty."
Yun Si Ning nodded; she had heard her senior sister mention this before.
During the Great Long Dynasty, the five realms were still a single entity, and the great wilderness between the various realms has not yet been formed.
The sheer size of its territory is enough to demonstrate the immense power and strength of the Da Long Dynasty at that time.
“I was in very bad condition at the time. I was not only seriously injured, but my meridians were also almost completely destroyed, leaving me with many hidden ailments.”
"Most seriously, Geng Di left behind extremely strong mental pollution within my consciousness."
“Injuries to the body and meridians can be repaired by the power of life, but the pollution in the sea of consciousness is almost impossible to remove, just like maggots clinging to bones.”
"Geng Di is extremely skilled in mental attacks, and it is precisely because he knows this that he dares to conclude that I absolutely cannot survive."
Yun Si Ning recalled those enormous, scarlet eyes and nodded slightly in agreement.
“Severe mental pollution makes it difficult for me to stay rational. I spend almost half of my time in forced sleep to suppress the spread of mental pollution.”
"But even so, my sea of consciousness is still gradually sinking, and it's only a matter of time before it's completely corrupted."
"So, I made a decision."
Si Yiqi looked up at the group.
"Do you know of a technique called the Soul Splitting Technique?"
"The Soul Division Technique?"
Yun Sining shook her head.
"have no idea."
Hua Yuncang and Hua Lu both shook their heads, neither of them having ever heard of such a technique.
"That is an ancient secret technique. If I didn't have a hobby of collecting ancient secrets, it would be very difficult for me to come into contact with this technique."
Si Yiqi explained.
"The so-called Soul Dividing Technique is a secret method that divides the soul into many parts."
"To...split the soul?"
Yun Si Ning looked on in astonishment.
The soul can be said to be the most fragile yet most important thing in a cultivator's body, just like the brain in a normal human.
Let alone dividing them, even the slightest touch could risk annihilating their souls.
"In order to completely eliminate the spiritual pollution once and for all, I used the Soul Splitting Technique to divide my soul into three parts."
"If the soul is split into three, is it really possible to survive?"
Yun Si Ning opened her mouth, but she knew she was asking a question she already knew the answer to, because Si Yi Qi was sitting upright in front of her at that moment.
"I divided my soul into three parts. One part of my soul is completely corrupted and is at risk of going mad and degenerating at any time."
"The other part is a completely pure divine soul, which has not been contaminated or attached to in the slightest."
"And the last part is a soul that is half corrupted and half pure."
Si Yiqi said.
"After I separated the first part of the soul, I simply abandoned it and let it live or die on its own."
"Although the third part of my soul was somewhat polluted, it would not endanger my life in the short term, so I left it in my body."
"Wait a moment."
Yun Si Ning suddenly interrupted her.
"You mean, you directly abandoned one-third of your corrupted soul."
"You could say that part of my soul inherited a portion of my will, but it has become infinitely close to complete madness."
"I later tried to find its traces, but I couldn't. I think it must have disappeared in the long river of time."
"Oh right, it even gave itself a name, I think it was called..."
Si Yiqi thought for a moment, then said uncertainly.
"Desire and Soul".
"What are you yelling for!"
