Chapter 68

When Zhao Shuo said this, Bai Jianjia suddenly felt an endless sense of委屈 welling up in her heart. Her bright, watery eyes misted over as she said, "Zhao Shuo, you bastard, who do you think I am? Just because you have repeatedly taken liberties with me, do you think I am a woman of loose morals?"

Zhao Shuo naturally understood the hidden meaning in Bai Jianjia's words. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly leaned in close to Bai Jianjia, lightly kissing her inviting lips like a dragonfly touching the water. Before Bai Jianjia could react, Zhao Shuo's face turned solemn, and a mysterious wave of energy spread from his body.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Yin-Yang Wheel appeared above Zhao Shuo's head. The wheel silently turned, as if it could crush everything in the universe into nothingness.

"Great Yin-Yang Wheel, absorb it!"

With Zhao Shuo's command, a mysterious beam of light shot out from the center of the Great Yin-Yang Wheel, pulling the spirit vein towards the wheel. Although Bai Jianjia didn't know what kind of magical treasure Zhao Shuo had released, the fact that it could actually absorb the spirit vein filled her with joy, and even the anger from being kissed without her consent disappeared.

However, Zhao Shuo had underestimated the difficulty of absorbing the spirit vein. Even with the formidable cultivation of Hu Dali and Kuruo Niangniang, who were tens of thousands of times stronger than Zhao Shuo, they could only absorb a few spirit veins. If the Great Yin-Yang Wheel were not an unparalleled treasure, it might not have been able to move the spirit vein at all.

Even so, Zhao Shuo felt the Great Yin-Yang Wheel devouring his internal magic power like a black hole. As his strength waned, Zhao Shuo's face turned pale, but he couldn't stop.

Seeing Zhao Shuo's state, Bai Jianjia knew what was happening. If absorbing the spirit vein were so easy, it would be strange indeed. She handed him the White Jade Spirit Fruit, and as soon as he took it, pure magic power flowed through his body. The Great Yin-Yang Wheel greedily consumed the magic power, gradually pulling the spirit vein into the wheel.

When the spirit vein was completely absorbed, the Great Yin-Yang Wheel disappeared, and Zhao Shuo collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. It took a long time for him to recover.

Bai Jianjia watched Zhao Shuo and said, "You are truly reckless. Aren't you afraid of being drained dry by that treasure?"

Zhao Shuo could hear the concern in her voice and chuckled, "It's fine, isn't it? If I hadn't taken the risk, how could we have absorbed a spirit vein?"

Although Bai Jianjia was worried about Zhao Shuo's rashness, she was overjoyed that he had actually absorbed a spirit vein. As for the Great Yin-Yang Wheel, since Zhao Shuo didn't mention it, the clever Bai Jianjia wouldn't ask. If Zhao Shuo wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. Given Zhao Shuo's actions and the ability to absorb a spirit vein, Bai Jianjia knew the wheel was an extraordinary treasure.

After putting away the Great Yin-Yang Wheel, Bai Jianjia stood up and looked at Zhao Shuo, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Shuo patted his chest, "Don't worry, I have the White Jade Spirit Fruit as a base. I'm already mostly recovered."

Bai Jianjia said, "We've made such a big commotion. I wonder what's happening outside. If the Howling Moon Divine Dog discovers that we've messed up its lair, will it tear us apart?"

Zhao Shuo said smugly, "Of course, it's probably already furious."

The cracks in the ground spread like a spider web. The two of them didn't dare to go out just yet. In the underground, the spirit veins crisscrossed, and the chaotic primordial energy made it impossible for anyone to detect their presence.

Moreover, Zhao Shuo still had some ideas about the spirit veins. However, whether it was due to their luck running out or some other reason, they walked for hundreds of miles along the cracks and didn't encounter a single spirit vein. They did come across some, but they were dormant and couldn't be absorbed.

What Zhao Shuo didn't know was that the Howling Moon Divine Dog was suppressing the spirit veins and changing their direction, gathering them together. If Zhao Shuo had encountered a spirit vein, it would have been strange.

Zhao Shuo, unaware of this, could only complain about his bad luck.

While Zhao Shuo was complaining, Bai Jianjia, feeling quite satisfied, walked ahead with a smile. In her view, getting one spirit vein was already a stroke of luck; more would be greedy.

"Hey, what's this?"

Bai Jianjia's exclamation drew Zhao Shuo's attention. Following her gaze, Zhao Shuo saw an endless stream of milky white liquid gushing from a crack, with a surge of primordial energy rising. Just one breath of it was enough to match the effects of several hours of meditation.

"Heavenly treasures, this is a heavenly treasure. I wonder what kind of treasure it is. Could it be Jade Essence Milk or Stone Marrow Milk?"

Zhao Shuo exclaimed as he looked at the flowing liquid.

Bai Jianjia shook her head, "No, this liquid is neither Jade Essence Milk nor Stone Marrow Milk. I've seen both, and this is definitely not either of them."

Zhao Shuo laughed, "Who cares? It's definitely a treasure. Let's collect it first."

He summoned the treasure tower, and the milky white liquid was continuously absorbed into the tower. After several hours, Zhao Shuo didn't know how much he had collected, but the liquid seemed to be endless.

If a great sage were to overlook the entire Jiuhua Secret Realm, they would see it slowly shrinking. The reason a secret realm shrinks or disappears is due to the loss of the primordial energy that sustains it.

Neither Kuruo Niangniang, the Howling Moon Divine Dog, nor Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia could have imagined that the spirit vein's upheaval would inadvertently break the source of the Jiuhua Secret Realm's spirit veins.

It is said that secret realms or blessed lands are transformed from the dantian small worlds or the various layers of the consciousness sea of ancient fallen Dao Masters. The source of a secret realm's spirit veins is naturally the essence of a Dao Master.

By accidentally absorbing the milky white liquid, Zhao Shuo was clearly extracting the essence of the entire Jiuhua Secret Realm.

It is this endless essence that supports the abundant primordial energy of the Jiuhua Secret Realm. If this essence is completely extracted, the Jiuhua Secret Realm will lose its foundation for existence.

After a day and a night, Zhao Shuo occasionally swallowed a Lapis Lazuli Lotus Seed to convert it into pure magic power. Wasting the Lapis Lazuli Lotus Seeds, Zhao Shuo was clearly determined to see if the milky white liquid had an end.
