"Supreme Pontiff Your Holiness, Supreme Pontiff Your Holiness! Bibi Dong! Wake up!"
Xin waved his sleeves, and a refreshing cherry-scented breeze swept through the space.
However, having already consumed a significant amount of mental force to guide the soul and carve the bone, Xin was currently no match for Bibi Dong, who was under the influence of the Rakshasa divine force—especially within her own spiritual sea.
With the soul-guiding passage also sealed by the Scythe of Death, he could only faintly sense the state of his physical body, while direct control over it had become extremely difficult.
Originally, to prevent such a situation, Xin had prepared three Holy Soul Grasses to restore soul power—one for himself, one for Bibi Dong, and one for Xiao Wu's mother. But at this moment, they were completely useless.
The most dangerous issue was that if Bibi Dong's power fully erupted and the two forces clashed, the 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit remnant soul they had painstakingly extracted could be scattered. Once dispersed into the world, retrieving it again with their current strength would be nearly impossible.
"Bibi Dong, calm down—even if it's just a trace of sanity."
"Listen carefully. This is the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Azure Underworld Dao Great Method. Follow my guidance and slowly suppress the Rakshasa divine force."
"Breath enters the lungs like a flowing spring; spirit condenses in the dantian like a contained moon. The starting posture is like a swaying willow, wrists turning and waist rotating to connect with the great void. When inhaling, draw drifting clouds into the twin peaks; when exhaling, release them as fine rain to nourish the dantian. The circulation of qi should be soft yet firm, like water flowing over stone without breaking its rhythm… Use divine sense to transform qi like mist covering mountains, bypassing obstacles and flowing through openness."
"When moving, it is like thunder striking and qi surging together; when still, it is like sun and moon reflecting each other as spirit harmonizes!"
Xin's remaining soul power erupted in one final burst. In the spiritual sea, he reached out and seized control of Bibi Dong's unstable consciousness, forcing his voice through each line of the Mind-Cultivation Technique in an attempt to pull her back to clarity.
Even if full recovery was impossible, stabilizing her state using the Azure Underworld Dao method would already be a success.
But it lasted only for a brief moment. Bibi Dong, overwhelmed by the Rakshasa's corrupting will, suddenly erupted with a violent surge of soul power and overwhelmed Xin's spiritual form.
For an instant, Xin felt as if his awareness was swept into a vast and winding current, where turbulent forces surged forward uncontrollably, eroding his sense of direction.
Within the spiritual sea and the Heart of Fire Pavilion alike, the situation became chaotic and unstable.
The 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit remnant soul, floating quietly in mid-air, tilted its head in confusion as it observed the scene below. The human energies intertwined chaotically, and faint, irregular sounds echoed through the space.
It blinked, then flushed slightly as if embarrassed, unable to comprehend what the two extremely beautiful humans were doing.
