Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Seeing his aggrieved little disciple, Shen Ji couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Alright, it's all over. Let's go back to Xiaoyao Peak."

Bai Xiaobai then looked around and realized that she was on the same cliff as before.

Thinking of the close call she had just experienced, she sat up angrily and began to complain again.

"Hmph, you stingy person! I already told you I didn't mean to peek at you while you were bathing. How could you so heartlessly push your disciple off a cliff? What kind of cruel master are you? And what about your talk of surviving in dire straits and breaking free from constraints? Why don't I feel anything at all? My strength hasn't increased, and my body hasn't grown either."

Faced with Bai Xiaobai's accusations, Shen Ji smiled gently.

He said calmly, "Take a look at your sea of ​​consciousness. Is it different from before? Also, check your sea of ​​consciousness space. Now try to explore it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai was instantly stunned.

Damn it, it seems her secret of opening her sea of ​​consciousness before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage has been discovered.

She remembered what her snake father and mother had said before sending her to the Azure Cloud Sect, and her mind was in turmoil.

"Little White, you must never let anyone or any force know about your Sea of ​​Consciousness and its space. If it is discovered, not only will your life be in danger, but the entire Spirit Realm will also be plunged into utter destruction."

But it was his own master who discovered his secret; surely he wouldn't harm him?

But the people and forces that Snake Dad and Snake Mom mentioned also included their own master.

Bai Xiaobai pursed her lips slightly, staring at Shen Ji in front of her, caught in a dilemma.

At that moment, it was as if two little figures were pulling at her from her mind, one desperately trying to stop her. "Even your master cannot be trusted completely. This involves not only yourself, but also all the beings in the spirit world, including your snake father and snake mother."

The other person supported her: "He is your master, and everything he has done is for your cultivation. Think about it yourself, if it weren't for him, could you have transformed into human form so quickly? And your cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining is all because of him that you were able to cultivate normally. All the senior brothers and sisters on Xiaoyao Peak have given you nothing, supporting and trusting you unconditionally. How could you possibly doubt that they and your master would do you any harm?"

The two little figures were pulling back and forth in her mind, making her little face scrunch up tightly.

After a moment of hesitation, she ultimately chose to believe in her master and Xiaoyao Peak.

"Master, aren't you curious why I have a sea of ​​consciousness and a space within it?"

Shen Ji smiled and gently flicked her forehead.

"Why be curious? Xiao Qi also opened her sea of ​​consciousness before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Alright, it's not good to think too much in your head. Go explore your sea of ​​consciousness and its space in peace."

Shen Ji's words made Bai Xiaobai feel somewhat ashamed, but at the same time, they also gave her some other thoughts.

For example, Xiao Qi is a divine beast, and he opened his sea of ​​consciousness before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Since I come from the Spirit Realm, if the Spirit Realm is indeed a branch of the divine beast race, then why did I open up my sea of ​​consciousness and sea of ​​consciousness space before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage? Is it because I am a distant relative of the divine beasts?

But there's no use thinking about it now. We can only verify the specific connection with the snake father and snake mother when we return to the spirit world.

She nodded to Shen Ji, and then began to carefully explore her own sea of ​​consciousness.

This investigation took her by surprise.

Because the area of ​​her sea of ​​consciousness has expanded nearly three times compared to before.

Moreover, that's secondary; the most important thing is her sea of ​​consciousness space.

The space of consciousness, which was originally shrouded in a thick white mist, was now fully revealed.

Upon seeing that familiar, massive stone gate, Bai Xiaobai was certain that what she had seen before was neither a dream nor an illusion.

There was indeed a thick and massive stone gate in my sea of ​​consciousness.

Moreover, behind this stone door should be his own sea of ​​consciousness.

Thinking of the treasures and spirit stones that she had previously collected into her sea of ​​consciousness in the spirit world but whose whereabouts were unknown, now that the mist surrounding her sea of ​​consciousness was gone, did it mean that she would soon be able to see those treasures and spirit stones again?

Thinking of this, she was extremely excited.

After all, those treasures and spirit stones were no small amount.

Moreover, if she can use her own sea of ​​consciousness space, does that mean that she will be able to store as many things as Xiao Qi in her sea of ​​consciousness space in the future?

Staring at the heavy, massive stone door, she rubbed her fists together and used all her strength to push it open.

However, as soon as her palm touched the stone door, she was sucked in by a huge suction force.

Looking at the little guy who had just been meditating and concentrating, who suddenly disappeared into thin air, the red-clad sword spirit waved incredulously in the direction where Bai Xiaobai had just been to confirm.

"Master Shen... Where did the little one go? How did she disappear into thin air?"

This time, not only the red-clad sword spirit was shocked, but even Shen Ji was clearly unable to react.

His brows were furrowed, and his expression was grave.

A moment later, the red-clad sword spirit felt an overwhelming and terrifying divine sense covering the entire Qingxiao Sect.

No, it's not just the Qingxiao Sect.

Instead, it is a certain world centered around the Qingxiao Sect.

So what kind of power does it take to have such a wide range of divine sense coverage?

Changling dared not even think about it.

It hovered quietly to the side, watching the person emanating terrifying divine aura, and nervously swallowed its saliva.

This time it was certain that its guess was correct.

Shen Ji, the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak, is definitely more than just a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

It might be the Divine Transformation Mirror, but it could also be more than just the Divine Transformation Mirror.

Although it cannot sense the specific strength, it can be certain.

With Shen Ji's true strength, even if those three old guys from the Qingxiao Sect who had been in seclusion for many years joined forces, they absolutely could not hurt him.

After exploring the area, they found no trace of Bai Xiaobai's presence. Finally, with a complicated expression, they turned their gaze to the direction where Bai Xiaobai had just been.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a deep voice.

"What you have seen and heard today must not be told to anyone."

The red-clad sword spirit was terrified, feeling threatened by the sword.

Despite its fear, it still couldn't understand why Bai Xiaobai had disappeared into thin air.

"Master Shen... Master Shen, where... where did the little one go? Why did she disappear into thin air? Should we look for her again?"

After saying that, it realized it had asked a stupid question, since Shen Ji had already checked with his divine sense.

Shen Ji's expression was inscrutable. After a moment, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Wait here. Perhaps Xiaobai's sea of ​​consciousness space can not only store objects, but also..."

Shen Ji's words completely stunned Chang Ling.

"So Master Shen means that the little one...she...she went to her own sea of ​​consciousness? This...how is this possible?"
