“Then little girl, go from here.”
Luo Tingsheng waved his hand, and a transmission array immediately appeared in front of him.
“Through this transmission array, you can be teleported into the space where the Innate Dao Rhyme is located. Afterward, you only need to comprehend it.”
Shucao nodded toward Luo Tingsheng and thanked him once more.
After that, she walked into the transmission array.
As the transmission array began emitting waves of light, Shucao’s figure also gradually disappeared within the transmission array.
In the instant just before Shucao was about to vanish, Luo Tingsheng’s eyes suddenly emitted a ray of light.
A powerful divine sense silently invaded Shucao’s body.
Let me take a small peek at what kind of changes you, who have no spiritual power, will undergo after comprehending the Innate Dao Rhyme.
Luo Tingsheng thought this way, because he believed that cultivators cultivated spiritual power, then comprehended the path of the Dao within the process of cultivating spiritual power, afterward combined their understanding of the path of the Dao with spiritual objects and spiritual power, and finally used a spiritual object as the core to forge their own Dao foundation.
Without spiritual power, one could not comprehend the path of the Dao.
And the function of the Innate Dao Rhyme was to strengthen a cultivator’s understanding of the path of the Dao.
If one could not even comprehend it, how could one strengthen understanding of the path of the Dao?
Thus, he felt extremely curious about the result of Shucao going to comprehend the Innate Dao Rhyme.
But what Luo Tingsheng did not know was that inside Shucao’s body, there was still another soul.
“Hmm? How dare someone run into the place where I live? Watch me properly teach him a lesson!”
The moment Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense entered Shucao’s body, An Qianhua sensed the entry of an external divine sense.
Although An Qianhua could not directly pull Shucao’s consciousness into the Heart Realm, when facing other invaders, she could use the Heart Realm to counterattack.
After all, the core of Shucao’s Heart Seed was her Heart Source.
Thus she directly opened the Heart Realm and brought Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense into Shucao’s Heart Realm.
That strand of Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense, which had originally wanted to hide within Shucao’s body in order to peek at the changes Shucao would undergo afterward, opened its eyes and discovered that it had arrived in a space filled with points of starlight.
In the center of the space was a seed emitting a faint pink radiance—it was precisely Shucao’s Heart Seed.
“What… is this place? A Qi Palace? A Qi Palace doesn’t look like this, right? Moreover, she has no spiritual power, so how could she open a Qi Palace? Ah, this… this is?!”
Just as Luo Tingsheng was feeling strange about the surrounding scenery, a suction force suddenly came from Shucao’s Heart Seed, drawing Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense toward Shucao’s Heart Seed.
Faced with this force, Luo Tingsheng wanted to break free, yet it was like an ant caught by a large hand.
No matter how he struggled, there was not the slightest effect.
He could only watch helplessly as he was dragged into that Heart Seed.
At this moment, An Qianhua’s voice also rang out in Luo Tingsheng’s ears.
“Heart Realm, Overwrite.”
In the next moment, the place where Shucao’s Heart Seed had originally been suddenly contracted inward with the Heart Seed as the center, gathering into a small black point.
Then, with the small black point as the center, it violently expanded outward, replacing Shucao’s Heart Realm with a completely different scene.
Opening his eyes once more, Luo Tingsheng discovered that he had appeared in another space.
He tried moving his divine sense and found that he was not restricted, and could even freely probe this space.
At this moment, he was standing in a lake that just covered his ankles.
In a sky that seemed to be at dusk, a somewhat dim sun shone upon the space.
The other half of the crimson sky was covered with a deep dark blue that seemed as if night had already fallen.
On the calm lake surface all around floated points of petals.
The sensation from the soles of his feet was like an ordinary bluestone path.
Looking forward, the bluestone path beneath his feet led toward a very majestic yet nearly withered large tree, with only scattered clusters of pink flowers hanging upon it.
Apart from this, there was nothing peculiar.
At least within Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense, he could only see these scenes.
Other things could not be sensed no matter what.
But having no strange places was the strangest place of all!
Luo Tingsheng believed this was definitely not as simple as inviting him to look at the scenery, so he immediately controlled his divine sense and charged toward the outside.
But at the moment he wanted to leave, he was unable to make any movement no matter what.
“Aiya aiya, it’s been a long time since I’ve done this. I didn’t expect it would still succeed. Hey, that one over there, since you’ve already come, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
An Qianhua’s pleasant voice entered Luo Tingsheng’s ears, causing him to suddenly break out in cold sweat.
Because within his divine sense, he could not sense the existence of any person behind him.
Then from his perspective, this kind of situation had only one possibility.
That was that the other party’s divine sense was far stronger than his own.
“How is this possible?! Could it be that some existence above Dao Lord left a divine sense imprint within her body?!”
Luo Tingsheng’s mind raced frantically.
Although he had previously guessed that there might be some background behind Shucao, he had not expected that her background would be so great that it could allow a great expert above Dao Lord to personally leave a divine sense imprint for her in order to prevent peeping.
Thus he slowly turned his head to look.
He saw a black-haired young girl wearing a pure white dress, slowly walking on this bluestone path with her pure white bare feet.
Every time her soft toes stepped into the water surface, they would raise circles of ripples.
The newcomer was precisely An Qianhua.
From Luo Tingsheng’s perspective, it was precisely such an ordinary young girl who was walking toward him step by step, yet the invisible pressure produced made him not dare to make any movement.
After that, An Qianhua walked to a place not far in front of that strand of Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense and stopped, calmly looking at him.
Seeing the other party stop, Luo Tingsheng immediately opened his mouth and said.
“Se-Senior, this junior was only somewhat curious about this little girl Shucao. I did not know that she had such a high expert as Senior protecting her. This junior truly had no intention of offending Senior. Please, Senior, forgive me…”
“Shh.”
Before Luo Tingsheng could finish speaking, An Qianhua raised one index finger in front of her small mouth, making a gesture for silence, then opened her mouth and said.
“Casually barging into other people’s territory and still wanting to peep on others—this is not good, you know. Looking at the face of you giving little Shucao a quota to comprehend that whatever Innate Dao Rhyme, I won’t give you such a heavy punishment. If you still dare to do this, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
As she spoke, An Qianhua pointed her finger toward Luo Tingsheng’s divine sense, the corners of her mouth slightly rising.
In the next moment, a petal drifted down from that nearly withered large tree and floated before Luo Tingsheng’s eyes.
When the petal touched Luo Tingsheng, that strand of divine sense instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed before.
An Qianhua stretched out her hand, caught the falling petal, looked at it a few times, then placed it on the lake surface, allowing it to freely float.
“This should be fine. Fortunately it was inside the Heart Realm, so I could overwrite my own Heart Realm on top. Otherwise, teaching him a lesson would have been much more troublesome. Still, with this show of strength this time, that old man probably won’t dare come peeping again.”
An Qianhua muttered to herself, then looked again at the nearly withered large tree in the distance, her eyes more or less dyed with a trace of emotion.
“Long time no see. I didn’t expect it would become like this. It’s truly a bit hard to accept. Looking at it, it can’t be used too many more times either. If only I could help little Shucao a bit more.”
As she spoke, An Qianhua released the Heart Realm, and the surrounding scenery also returned to Shucao’s Heart Realm.
“Still, doing this is a bit tiring. It seems I need to rest first.”
Thus, An Qianhua directly and openly lay down inside Shucao’s Heart Realm.
On the other side, Luo Tingsheng, whose strand of divine sense had been erased by An Qianhua, lowered his head with a face full of terror.
His widened eyes continuously trembled, and the spiritual light emitted from his body also dimmed quite a bit.
“What… exactly was that…”
His lips trembling from fear slowly spoke.
When Luo Tingsheng saw that falling petal, the afterglow of the setting sun within that space was reflected upon the petal, causing him to involuntarily feel yearning toward the scenery before the flower fell.
And when the petal floated down onto his body, he felt that something was wrong.
The breeze that blew down the petal, when it struck Luo Tingsheng’s face, for some reason carried a trace of coldness and pain.
And that petal carried an even more bone-chilling sensation of nothingness.
In the next moment, he felt himself wrapped by the nothingness of that petal, and his vitality dissipated in an instant, as if he had been buried within that nothingness.
Coming back to himself, he had lost contact with that strand of divine sense.
Although it was only a separated divine sense that had been attacked, it still brought an extremely great degree of backlash to the main body.
In particular, that sensation of being buried by nothingness had sunk deeply into his True Spirit.
“I absolutely must not provoke this person again!”
This was his only thought at present.
Of course, under An Qianhua’s deliberate concealment, Shucao was completely unaware of the things that had occurred within her Heart Realm.
At this moment, she was staring blankly at a cluster of light within another space.
I can’t understand it.
This was the only thought in her mind.
After Shucao arrived in this space, there was only this one enormous cluster of light floating in the air before her eyes.
Thus she immediately guessed that this was the so-called Innate Dao Rhyme.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, there was already nothing else in this place.
Thus she came beneath the cluster of light and began comprehending toward the cluster of light.
But no matter how one looked at it, it was only a white enormous cluster of light.
Whether looking from below, from the side, or even from above, it was the same circle.
Therefore, no matter how Shucao looked, she could not understand it.
Thus she directly sought help from An Qianhua.
“Sister Qianhua, do you know how this thing can be comprehended?”
But because An Qianhua had overwritten the Heart Realm inside Shucao’s Heart Realm in order to teach Luo Tingsheng a lesson, she completely did not hear Shucao’s request for help.
Thus Shucao simply stayed to the side staring blankly at that Innate Dao Rhyme, to the point that she was about to fall asleep, yet still could not see anything.
Continuing like this was not a solution, so Shucao thought of an idea.
Then she walked in front of the cluster of light and brought her Heart Seed into contact with that cluster of light.
