Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Frenzied Absorption of Immortal Spiritual Qi

At the Holy Land Saintess Pool

Jingyue and the others also saw the video.

Although the video was still playing, they felt a mix of shock and sorrow.

The sorrow was because Qin Qianning had died in the end. The strongest and second-strongest in the Cultivation Realm had both failed to protect her.

She should have been the safest person, yet she died the fastest.

Before her death, she had no one to rely on.

The shock came from the male Candidacy Saintess, who had seemingly entered that hidden state of mind directly.

They had learned from Qin Qianning that it had taken her a full seven days.

But the male Candidacy Saintess had taken less than a minute.

Jingyue said, "Do you guys think this male Candidacy Saintess is using some kind of cheat?"

Qing Lian said, "What if he just followed the path those two created?"

Su Qi said, "It didn’t look like it. Did you guys see that just now? The video stuttered for a moment, as if the progress was just dragged forward."

Jingyue nodded. "I felt that too. If it were us, we’d probably have to spend the full seven days there."

Xueyu said, "So, you’re saying this male Candidacy Saintess is really that incredible?"

In truth, they had to admit it. The man was simply amazing.

They could tell just from the matter of the Little Wild Cat.

The Little Night Cat, which they couldn’t even summon, he had subdued just by saying he would.

There was nothing you could do about it, even if you were furious.

For instance, Jingyue knew that if he decided not to let them watch the video, he simply didn’t have to.

His authority wasn’t fixed.

And if she wasn’t mistaken, the one who had drawn down the Celestial Punishment was none other than the male Candidacy Saintess.

Faced with such a monster of a talent, Jingyue felt helpless. It was safest to make him one of their own.

She really wanted to know who this Candidacy Saintess was. After all, he was the candidate most suited for the position of Saintess.

It would be bad if he forced her to abdicate one day.

Of course, from the looks of it, this person had no interest in the Saintess position.

So why was he so diligently making his presence known? Who was it for?

Jingyue glanced around at the others. ’Could that male Candidacy Saintess have his eye on one of us?’

Jingyue shook her head. ’It doesn’t seem likely. But it can’t all be a coincidence, can it?’

Besides, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had once asked him to save someone. That meant he was no ordinary person to begin with.

Jingyue felt a headache coming on.

’This male Candidacy Saintess is so indirect. Is it really that hard for him to just show his face?’

At that moment, the video returned to the Refining Heart Road. But as soon as it did, a strange sensation washed over them.

Su Qi said in surprise, "I think I’m about to have an epiphany."

Xiaoxiao also said, "I feel it too, but it’s like I can’t quite get there. I’m stuck in the crack of the door."

Qing Lian and the others said they were in the same situation.

Jingyue frowned. "Don’t tell me his insights from the Refining Heart are carrying over to us?"

If not, how could all of them be having the same subtle feeling?

And just as they felt they were on the verge of some insight, Immortal Spiritual Qi began surging rapidly toward their imprints.

This strange development startled the six of them. Then, they discovered that the Immortal Spiritual Qi they were absorbing didn’t need to be refined by them.

Initially, the Immortal Spiritual Qi they absorbed had required refining. Otherwise, they would have absorbed most of it by now.

It had been so many days, after all.

Su Qi said, "But we’re not the ones absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi.

Did the signals between us get connected? Is the Immortal Spiritual Qi flowing over to that male Candidacy Saintess?"

Qing Lian was surprised, then asked, "Should we stop it then?"

Jingyue shook her head. "No need. We can’t stop it anyway."

Indeed, they couldn’t stop it. This was being done by the imprints. If the male Candidacy Saintess insisted on absorbing it, Jingyue would have a hard time forbidding him with his level of authority.

Su Qi said comfortingly, "It shouldn’t be a huge problem, right? He’s just one person, after all. His refining speed can’t be that fast."

Jingyue sighed. How could that male Candidacy Saintess be measured by common sense?

"You little complainer, wouldn’t it be great if that man was your husband? We wouldn’t have to work so hard. You could just tell him to do less of this stuff," Jingyue sighed.

Su Qi whined, "Holy Sister, you’re bringing up my husband at a time like this? Just mentioning him makes me miss him.

I want to call him."

Jingyue said, "Alright, alright, let’s just focus on what we’re doing. Don’t end up getting dumber or more resentful and then blaming it on me."

————

Meanwhile, on the Refining Heart Road, Jiang Zuo was also taken aback. He felt something flowing toward him.

Upon sensing it, he realized it was Immortal Spiritual Qi.

’How did Immortal Spiritual Qi get over here?’

Immortal Spiritual Qi wasn’t very useful to him. Its only purpose was probably for summoning those Summoned Creatures.

For instance, it could extend the duration of a summoning.

Especially for the one-time-only true body summoning.

After some thought, Jiang Zuo decided it wouldn’t hurt to absorb some. It might be useful later when he entered the Summoning Space in reverse.

Then, Jiang Zuo began to frantically absorb the Immortal Spiritual Qi.

’As for refining?’

’It’s not necessary. The Immortal Spiritual Qi isn’t mine to begin with, nor was it drawn by me.’

’It’s all because of the imprints.’

So, all Jiang Zuo had to do was gather the Immortal Spiritual Qi and then distribute it accordingly.

Refining it would just be a waste of time.

For Su Qi and the others, refining was a means of control.

But Jiang Zuo already had control, so he didn’t need that step. However much came in, he could just manage it directly.

Therefore, a massive amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi instantly flooded in.

Jiang Zuo considered his own speed to be rather ordinary.

But it directly alarmed Jingyue and the others.

"Hey, hey, this speed is a little ridiculous!" Jingyue exclaimed.

Su Qi was also shocked. "How is he doing that? Is he a few hundred people? We’ve been working ourselves to death for days and haven’t absorbed as much as him."

Just then, Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Holy Sister, I... I think I’m about to get through the door.

I don’t think I’m stuck in the crack anymore."

Everyone: "..."

Outside the Saintess Pool

Such a rapid absorption rate naturally alarmed those outside as well.

Yue Xi had just told them that the absorption inside had stopped.

But not long after, the Immortal Spiritual Qi was being frantically absorbed from within, and the accumulated reserves were being continuously depleted.

The speed had suddenly increased a hundredfold.

It was frighteningly exaggerated.

"What happened? Is the Immortal Spiritual Qi leaking?" Silver Armor exclaimed in alarm, but he couldn’t see any signs of a leak.

Then he said to Yue Xi, "Go in and see what’s going on."

If the Saintess and the others were in danger, then all their efforts would be for naught.

Losing the Saintess and the Immortal Spiritual Qi would be a devastating blow.

Yue Xi naturally went at once, without even needing Silver Armor to tell her.

The Saintess inside was her precious disciple, after all.

She might be a bit of a troublemaker, but she was a disciple dearer to her than a daughter.

How could she let anything happen to them?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have directly opposed people like Silver Armor and defied the Holy Land for Jingyue’s sake back then.

But when Yue Xi rushed to the Saintess Pool, she was stunned to find the six of them entering a state of epiphany, directly under the wash of Immortal Spiritual Qi.

And it was a normal epiphany.

Even Su Qi.

It was different from that bizarre epiphany last time.

This time, it was a true epiphany.

An epiphany regarding their Cultivation, not an insight into the heavens and earth.

If it had been an insight into the heavens and earth, that would have been a monumental event.

But if it really were an insight into the heavens and earth, Yue Xi would probably be worried instead.

Because last time, Su Qi’s had been an insight into the heavens and earth. That feeling was not good at all. It would be better for her to just be a good little wife.
