Chapter 304 Re-entering the Heavenly Consciousness
During this time, Lu Li and Pei Xia talked a lot about the Liancheng Fire Vein.

For example, what kind of place is it? What is the environment like? Does anyone still live there? What dangers are there? And where is Ru Tao hidden?
Pei Xia picked and chose some points to discuss with Li Zi, and he already had solutions for most of the difficulties.

For example, the Liancheng Fire Vein connects to the fire of the Nine Provinces, but Pei Xia reawakened his Fire Virtue body in the underground palace, enabling him to infiltrate.

Although facing Ru Tao is dangerous, the carefully crafted Tranquilizing Pill can effectively help him resist the Calamity Pig.

and many more.

But all of that is nonsense.

When he was suppressed by the Calamity Pig in the underground palace, he did reveal his Fire Virtue body, but after regaining consciousness, this power faded. Although he could occasionally feel a restless power, he could not control it freely.

The Tranquilizer Pill is only somewhat useful in suppressing the occasional howls of the Calamity Boar in the mind; it is utterly insignificant in the face of a fully formed Calamity Boar.

Pei Xia was less than one in ten confident about this trip to Liancheng Fire Vein.

He simply had no better options.

Although the Tongxuan Realm is not high, if one wants to wait for further advancement in cultivation, one must face the further threat of the backlash from the Calamity Pig in the brain.

After much deliberation, he realized that with the help of his inner fire to suppress it, he was in the best condition since entering Weishan.

To break free from this curse, he must risk his life.

Therefore, he neither brought Han Youzhi nor Lu Li.

If something unexpected happens... dying in the Liancheng Fire Vein would be the best way to die.

This place gathers the vast power of the earth's veins, which is why it was able to seal and suppress beings like Ru Tao.

If Pei Xia dies while facing Ru Tao, perhaps the power of the fire vein can be used to seal the evil spirit in his mind, preventing it from causing trouble with Pei Xia's remains again.

In conclusion, no matter how you look at it, Pei Xia can only go alone this time.

Li Qi escorted Pei Xia all the way to the port, where even Huang Bing, the leader of the Changjing Sect, was waiting to see him off.

Sect Leader Huang had no idea of ​​Pei Xia's determination to go. In his eyes, this was a young junior who would bring glory to the sect and go to a bigger stage to make a name for herself. His smile was as bright as a sunflower.

“I know you’re steady, but I’ll still give you a word of advice,” Huang Bing patted Pei Xia on the shoulder, “Even if no one among the younger generation can rival you, there are some powerful sects that you should avoid if possible.”

After saying that, he leaned closer and whispered, "I heard that someone is also going to the Martial Arts Arena this time. Be careful."

Pei Xia must have heard it, but she didn't react.

Instead, he gazed at the Changjingmen Mountains and said to Huang Bing, "I'm going there now, and I don't know when I'll be back. I hope the sect leader will take good care of the two people in my cave."

Huang Bing was momentarily confused. What did he mean by "who knows when he'll be back"?
However, he nodded instinctively: "Of course."

"in addition……"

Pei Xia thought of the faint aura she felt when she left this morning: "Old Han, she's actually distant and aloof to outsiders. Try to avoid those formalities and don't bother her, lest you cause her any unpleasantness."

Huang Bing was stunned for a moment, feeling that Pei Xia's tone of voice had suddenly changed.

Although he was still addressed as "Master", he had lost much of the humility that comes with being a subordinate, especially when he mentioned "Old Han", which sounded like he was instructing him on how to do things.

Huang Bing wasn't usually particular about hierarchy, so he just asked with some doubt, "Who is Lao Han?"

Li Qi, standing behind him, whispered, "She's a female disciple from Elder Pei's cave." This made Huang Bing feel a little embarrassed.

Even if we take a step back and say that Elder Pei has a bright future, I won't put on any airs of a sect leader in front of you.

Why do I have to serve your female disciple so carefully?

Pei Xia just smiled and waved at him, "Alright, I'll be off right away."

The passenger ship to Yunhu Mountain was specially arranged for Pei Xia by Changjingmen. Apart from the boatman, he was the only distinguished guest. Pei Xia said to leave, and soon the sails were raised and the ship sailed south downstream.

As Huang Bing watched the lone sail disappear into the distance, he was still muttering to himself.

Just as they were leading Li Qi back to the main peak, a dull surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the sect's grounds!

The spiritual energy was not just a single wave, but rather like a raging torrent crashing against the mountains of Changjingmen!
The violent shaking caught Huang Bing off guard, causing him to stumble. He looked up in astonishment at the forest below: "What is this?!"

First, a strong wind swayed the trees, grass, and rocks. Then, the gale swept in one direction and converged, swirling and connecting the mountains to the sky, forming a thick column of wind.

Streams of spiritual energy surged forth, mixing with the pillars of wind, and were continuously sprayed into the sky, spreading across the clouds and mist. The light of the spiritual energy shone throughout the entire Changjing Gate.

Huang Bing initially thought some expert had attacked, but as the strange phenomena changed, he slowly began to understand.

This seemed to be the very fruit of his spiritual practice that he had been seeking but could not obtain.

Divine consciousness breaks free from its cocoon, martial arts enter the realm of divine consciousness!
The strange phenomenon of spiritual energy stirred up the entire Changjing Gate and even the surrounding towns, with everyone craning their necks to gaze at the magnificent, colorful sky.

On another level, the transformation of a brand-new divine consciousness is affecting all the countless Heavenly Consciousness Realm beings in the entire Maizhou.

They craned their necks, wondering which reclusive master had taken the final step.

Yet they all frowned in confusion—how could this newly formed divine consciousness be so powerful?
Generally speaking, the emergence of consciousness is like a child opening their eyes for the first time to observe the world. Their vision is narrow, their horizons are low, and their state is one of excitement mixed with fear.

However, this divine consciousness did not exhibit these unusual behaviors.

It was quiet, calm, and experienced, as if it had witnessed this wondrous sight of heaven and earth many years ago.

This unusual and miraculous change naturally attracted the attention of several Heavenly Consciousness Realm experts from Maizhou. Whether with malice or not, they subconsciously wanted to explore this newly formed Heavenly Consciousness Realm.

But as their attention focused on the direction of the Long Whale Gate, a chilling sensation, as if they were being watched by a higher-level gaze, suddenly spread throughout their bodies.

Above their consciousness, it seemed as if a gaze as deep as the ocean was sweeping over them with a warning.

At the summit of the high mountain where Pei Xia's cave dwelling was located, Chen E, with his shirt open and chest hair exposed, was lazily reclining, holding a wine jar in his hand, seemingly drinking wine with nothing to do.

"Although the Changjing Sect can't be considered a canal gang, but..."

He muttered to himself, "Having someone at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm can save me a lot of trouble. It's alright to do this small favor for that kid surnamed Pei."

In the quiet room in the mountains, a long breath was exhaled.

Han Youzhi opened her eyes, feeling the long-lost power within her body.

“Re-entering… Heavenly Consciousness.” She murmured softly, then abruptly shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

After a long pursuit, finally achieving one's goal can leave one with a strange sense of emptiness.
