「In the Quiet Chamber.」
Zhu Ju sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
His Outer Body Incarnation, Wukong, sat cross-legged opposite him.
Not far away, Pei Jingque's fingers moved in a blur. Streams of light crisscrossed the air as she cast the Spirit Cleansing Spell, enveloping the entire room.
"Something's definitely wrong."
Her expression was grim as she spoke in a muffled tone.
"You have to cast the Spirit Cleansing Spell on it at least once a month. Otherwise, it will develop aberrant, impure thoughts."
"This line of thought is identical to Daoist Evil, filled with a destructive aura. Once it takes root, it will rapidly grow stronger."
"So, the Dao itself contains a poison!" Zhu Ju said with a sigh.
"I never would have thought even Source Crystals, which are like Inner Cores, would be the same. Thank goodness I didn't try to refine and absorb one back then."
