After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 123 Targeting Divine Sense
The person who went on stage was a female cultivator. At the same time, other people also moved, but the female cultivator was closer to the edge of the stage, so others stopped after seeing her movements.

The female cultivator became noticeably cautious after going up, slowing down her pace the closer she got to the spiritual fire.

Her eyes were fixed on the black flame. She stopped in her tracks with some fear, but after looking at it for a while, she swallowed hard and then, as if she couldn't control herself, took two more steps closer and stretched out her hand.

A faint aura of spiritual energy emanated from the fingertips; this was a test.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of probing is useful. Releasing spiritual energy can be sensed by the spiritual fire. If the spiritual fire recognizes the person, the spiritual energy will approach the spiritual fire without any hindrance, and thus it can be subdued.

Conversely, if the spiritual fire doesn't approve, the cultivator's spiritual energy will be blocked. If the cultivator isn't so persistent at this point, they can turn around and leave unscathed.

However, very few people actually do this. After all, spirit fire is hard to come by, and encountering it is already a rare occurrence. Many people are unwilling to leave just like that and insist on trying to subdue it by force. And there are actually a few successful examples of this kind of forceful approach.

At this moment, the female cultivator on the stage did not intend to be forceful. She was afraid, but she was unwilling to give up without trying.

So she decided to test the waters with her spiritual energy. If it worked, great; if not, she would give up.

But to her utter surprise, she didn't even manage to transfer any spiritual energy before she felt dizzy, then something black attacked her sea of ​​consciousness, followed by a sharp pain.

It was an indescribable pain, like being struck by a hammer, or like some giant beast had chewed up and swallowed her brain whole.

It wasn't until the world went completely dark that she belatedly felt a burning sensation.

All the crowd saw was the female cultivator standing there in a daze, then screaming like the previous person, and in the next instant, black flames burst into flames on her body.

Some people with good eyesight noticed something amiss.

"What happened? How could it be so fast?"

"Yes, she clearly released her spiritual energy to sense it, so how could this happen?"

"They seemed to freeze for a moment before the fire ignited. Could this be the unique characteristic of this spiritual fire?"

"Could it be... that this spiritual fire is designed to target the divine sense?"

"What? Divine consciousness?"

Everyone was surprised and delighted.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a spiritual fire that targets divine consciousness, let alone seen one!

Almost all spiritual fires originate from the outside, but this means that some advanced defensive magical artifacts or defensive techniques can be effective.

Although spiritual fire is different from ordinary fire, there are very few materials that can truly withstand it, but even the few that can be found can still be exploited.

But if it targets the divine sense, then it is almost impossible to defend against!

The divine sense is the most vulnerable part. Both defensive and offensive magical artifacts for the divine sense are extremely rare, and each one is incredibly expensive.

Like Zhao Ning, the damage to her divine consciousness after her soul was searched was due to this. If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Immortal Sect happened to have a magic artifact made of calming wood, her condition would have been extremely difficult to treat.

This spiritual fire is an attack on the mind, which determines its unique and precious nature. Once someone obtains it, that person will suddenly have an invincible attack method!

At this moment, countless people simultaneously had the same thought—

I must get it! I absolutely must get it!
These cultivators, their eyes gleaming and their breathing rapid, regarding the spiritual fire above as if it were something they held in their hands, failed to notice that, in their excitement, two people on the stage were subtly curling their lips into a malicious smile.

[Ah, no wonder that guy was lying in bed covered with a gauze, he was up to no good!][He even secretly released the fragrance of the Netherworld Orchid.]

No, I have to remind Senior Sister Chen and the others to hold their breath and block out their sense of smell.

Of all these people, only Mo Jiuwei noticed the subtle movements of the "young master" on the bed.

Although almost everyone present was staring at the spirit fire, and although the "maid" next to this person deliberately turned to the side to block his hand from being noticed, Mo Jiuwei still noticed.

The fragrance of the orchid is a type of incense that takes a relatively long time to take effect and has a very faint scent. Judging from the size of this place, it may take about half an hour to take effect.

Once it takes effect, everyone's spiritual power will be temporarily sealed, and it will only recover naturally after ten hours in a well-ventilated place or with an antidote.

Mo Jiuwei's words stirred the hearts of everyone in the Immortal Sect, and they immediately did as she said.

Chen Lan reached out and covered Mo Jiuwei's nose, then leaned closer and said, "The smell is off, don't smell it."

Wow, you even noticed that? That's amazing!

Mo Jiuwei was somewhat surprised. She looked at Chen Lan and the others with admiration, then pushed Chen Lan's hand away, pinched her nose, and said, "I can do it!"

I can seal it myself now.

Chen Lan smiled and withdrew her hand.

Someone nearby saw their actions but didn't take it seriously, assuming it was just something to amuse the children. So they dismissively looked away and continued to stare intently at the stage.

Bad news: This spiritual fire can launch mental attacks, danger!

Good news: This spiritual fire can attack with divine sense, making it extremely precious!
On one hand, there are immense benefits, and you might even become invincible after obtaining them. On the other hand, the process of obtaining them is somewhat dangerous, and you might even lose your life... So which one would you choose?
Without a doubt, 90% of cultivators would choose the former.

Cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens, with more dangers than opportunities. Ordinary benefits wouldn't be worth the risk of fighting for, but such a special spiritual fire is definitely worth it!
Of course, some people hesitate because they have a clear understanding of themselves and know that they probably don't have the ability, or they are afraid of death.

However, these people showed no intention of leaving; they planned to stay and continue observing.

This is a rare sight. Since they've run into each other, they have to stay until the very end!

"I come!"

"I come!"

Two people went on stage at the same time, and both of them were in a hurry and didn't want to wait at all.

Since we've decided to give it our all, the sooner the better. Who knows if someone else will beat us to it if we wait a little longer?
Neither of them would give in, and they actually started fighting.

Seeing this, the woman named Xiao Ruo only frowned, but did not say anything to stop it.

The outcome was quickly decided, with the seemingly thinner male cultivator emerging victorious.

He attacked ruthlessly, intending to end the other's life with a single sword strike, but at the last moment, Xiao Ru stopped him with her sword.

"That's enough. Since you've won, you can try it first."

The man then snorted, sheathed his sword, and walked to the spirit fire.

But his smugness soon faded.
