Deng Chanyu gritted her teeth and crawled upwards.
Soon, the very soft Jion Chaoyao also slightly regained some strength. She climbed onto someone's body and made a chaotic grab, eventually letting go of her knee and pushing all her strength to crawl to the waist position. This allowed Deng Chanyu to release her legs and climb even faster by threefold.
This white mountain must not be its original form, the bottom was smoothed by the river, the further up, the rougher the mountain body, and it was also more comfortable to climb.
The two of them worked hard and finally reached the top of the mountain.
Deng Chanyu was so exhausted that she could see stars in her eyes. Just being with the three Goddesses of the Sky did not leave her with any other things to do, as she had been climbing mountains the whole time! The last time it was with Yunxiao, and this time it was with Qiongxiao.
Qiongxiao also had no strength. She used her big thighs as a pillow, lying there and sticking out her tongue.
Deng Chanyu threw the Moon Essence Wheel to her: "There is too much accumulated Qi in your body. Quickly, transfer the excess Qi into my spiritual artifact, and then hurry up to regulate your breath and recover."
Power is not more is better, once exceed its own limit, will cause irreversible damage to three flowers, five gas.
Qiongxiao's Dao foundation was as fragile as an infant, and she could not withstand such abuse.
She knew the importance of things, quickly sat up, the excess power input Moon Essence Wheel, after that and adjusting the power inside that as tangled law.
Deng Chanyu stood up and observed the surroundings, finding that the summit here was about half an acre in size.
It was clear that this was the world of the Yin Star, but the spiritual energy sea was too strong, completely suppressing her spirit awareness. Now the observation range of her spirit awareness is not even three zhang.
However, her own eyes did see something inserted upside down in a rock in the distance—a giant turtle carcass as large as an eight-treasure table.
She twitched her corners, surprised that this thing had followed her.
She thought carefully about it and remembered that Qiongxiao had been holding this giant turtle at the last moment, and it seemed that she never let go.
Deng Chanyu muttered to herself in the dark, wondering if it were not for this weighty giant turtle, could she have escaped the pull of that strange yin-yang force back then?
There is no if in this world, assuming it has no meaning in this environment.
"Sigh, so troublesome." The effect of the shape-shifting had been broken for a long time. Deng Chanyu pulled the giant turtle out of the hard rock, and then sat on its shell to think about how to break the impasse.
Waiting for Nuwa to come for help would undoubtedly be the best option, but she also had to help herself. Even with the Moon Essence Wheel to mitigate most of the spiritual energy erosion damage, there would still be some injury. She couldn't stay here any longer.
There is a balance to everything, taking too many divine pills will also cause purple-poison, being immersed in a place with infinite spiritual energy is also the same. Options like demonization, alienation, or even assimilation are not good.
At this time, Deng Chanyu could feel the fine changes in the giant turtle's body below her. The strength of the flesh had decreased, and the marks of Guishen Mǔ under the bones, meat, and skin were disappearing. Apparently, these moonbeams not only assimilate living beings but also dead ones.
Qiongxiao soon found her way over and, seeing the turtle, she was somewhat surprised as well.
She kicked the turtle: "This scoundrel originally didn't spare a lot of curses on Bixiao, do we still need to bring it?"
Deng Chanyu straightened her mouth: "Do you ask me? This is what you brought in!"
Qiongxiao thought for a moment, then said with a very embarrassed smile, covering her mouth, "I guess so. I didn't think too much at the time, but it was really safe having you by my side. It was like being with Yunxiao."
Deng Chanyu accepted this flattery. Without her, Qiongxiao might have ended up somewhere else.
Taking the Moon Essence Wheel, she pondered for a moment, her mind constantly recalling Cangxi's movements as she danced under the moonlight. Cangxi was born on the Yin Star and had a profound understanding of this place that could be said to be unparalleled in the primordial era. Was there also profound wisdom in the dance that followed her instinctive movements? Deng Chanyu's dancing skills were extremely average and had nothing to do with Ji Da Wang or Dragon Princess. However, by imitating others, she could also perform it.
She danced on the turtle shell, following a certain special rhythm, twirling gracefully in the incredibly dense moonlight.
The initial movements were somewhat stiff, but after she removed her shoes, her dance finally reached a level of Cangxi's original one or two.
Qiongxiao didn't know what she was thinking. Why did she want to dance at this time? She didn't know, nor did she want to know.
You dance, I dance.
She was a hundred times stronger in dance skills than Deng Chanyu. As she entered her own area of expertise, even though she had never seen Cangxi, she quickly grasped the essence of this dance style thanks to her deep-rooted dance foundation and could also provide guidance to Deng Chanyu.
Qiongxiao's dance now looked to be about seventy to eighty percent the level of Cangxi's. With her guidance, Deng Chanyu was making rapid progress.
She could feel that the corrosion of the moonlight on both of them was further reduced.
As if this spiritual sea was gradually treating them as its own, after recognizing their weak bodies, it would slightly move away from their positions.
"Keep dancing, don't stop! I'll think of another way!"
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Why dance? Deng Chanyu thought that she could maintain this state for a longer time. With more time, she would definitely think of a way to escape. Even if she couldn't come up with a solution, she could hold out until her teacher outside came to save her.
Even if she were to face the guillotine, she would ask the executioner for a bowl of water to drink. Every bit of delay is an advantage.
What Deng Chanyu can think of, the elite of the Clarification Cult naturally can also think of.
But it was very unfortunate that they did not have a spiritual artifact as specific as the Moon Essence Wheel. For example, Wen Sheng and Pu Xian, whose treasure was given to their disciples. In their hands, they had at most a spiritual sword. In such an environment with an explosive spiritual energy, holding a sword would be useless.
They had no resistance in the sea of spiritual energy. Masters like Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and the Great Master of Spiritual Treasures, who were Jinxian of the Clarification Cult, sank to the bottom directly.
They had no choice but to sit cross-legged and fully operate their own Dao fruit, trying to resist the vast spiritual energy outside.
What is the Yin Star? This is Pan Gu's right eye.
The importance of the organ of the eye is beyond doubt.
If we say that the importance of the divine being of Pan Gu is number one, the heart and blood of Pan Gu rank second, and the third most important is a pair of eyes.
All of the spine, hair, intestines, and so on should come after.
The Sun Star shines upon all things and also provides the source of life. Over countless eons, the spiritual energy within the star body remains so powerful that it is beyond imagination.
The process of releasing spiritual energy from the Yin Star is not as intense as the Sun Star, meaning that more spiritual energy is accumulated here.
The Jinxian who sank to the bottom, including Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and the Great Master of Spiritual Treasures, held out for less than an incense time before they started to struggle.
The Dharma fruit was being worn away layer by layer, turning centuries or even millennia of austerities into consumables, which, even after being consumed, would only delay the inevitable by a little longer. The hearts of the Clarification Cult Jinxians were heavy beyond words.
