Chapter 268 Your Dharma is Not So Powerful (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Wayless Sect, within the Hall of Law Transmission.
Su Xi looked at the starfish in front of her, which she could control at will.
The moment her guiding thread touched the starfish, she was able to fully control it.
It was as if the starfish were her own body.
At the same time, everything about the starfish became completely transparent in her eyes.
She could see the Primordial Spirit of the Tianyao Saint Monarch within the starfish and could also see all of the Tianyao Saint Monarch's memories and inheritances.
"Tianyao Saint Monarch once caused a catastrophe in Lingzhou and was later sealed..."
"This Primordial Spirit is so cute, even though Tianyao Saint Monarch's Primordial Spirit looked so fierce before, but this one, it's so cute..."
Su Xi did not delve too deeply into the Tianyao Saint Monarch's memories, merely glancing at them briefly before ignoring them.
What caught her attention was the Tianyao Saint Monarch's Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit of the Tianyao Saint Monarch was not as she had seen it before, fiercely evil as if it had crawled out from the depths of darkness.
In her vision, the Primordial Spirit of the Tianyao Saint Monarch was just an oversized starfish, with round limbs, unusually cute, and devoid of any aura of ferocity.
Su Xi only looked at the Primordial Spirit for a while before she let go of the guiding thread. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
As she released the thread from the starfish,
The Tianyao Saint Monarch's consciousness instantly returned, and his entire starfish form exploded, shaking frenziedly.
"You... what have you done to me?!"
The Tianyao Saint Monarch was baffled.
He had let down all his defenses, and then...
And then his consciousness seemed to be controlled by something, sealing it off, completely unaware of what had happened.
But the one thing he did know was that he had just been controlled.
And the person who had controlled him was this little mortal girl in front of him...
He felt like he was dreaming; he saw every move of this little mortal girl, but right under his eyes, she had figured out how to control someone with such a technique.
How had he not noticed at all?!!
"Ah? I didn't do anything. I just looked at your memories and Primordial Spirit. Your Primordial Spirit is so cute."
Su Xi spoke out.
Upon saying this,
Starfish nearly blew its top.
"You viewed my Primordial Spirit???"
"What kind of monster method is this, and how can you also see my Primordial Spirit?"
If Starfish wasn't sealed, it would have leapt out to strangle Su Xi in an act of silencing.
"It's that, that controlling the threads of fate thing."
Su Xi replied.
"You actually figured it out? Are you a monster..."
Starfish was somewhat in disbelief.
"Um... I really did figure it out. Saint Monarch Senior, you saw it just now too."
Su Xi stated truthfully.
"Your trick is a bit strange, but that was because I wasn't prepared. You wouldn't be able to do it if I were on guard—you can't control me at all!"
Starfish quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue discussing his Primordial Spirit.
"No! Once I've controlled you once, Saint Monarch Senior, I leave a mark. The second time I control you, no guard will work! Don't believe it? Then, Sage Lord, look for yourself."
Su Xi's small face was filled with earnestness.
As her words fell,
She extended her hands, and the invisible threads once again emanated from her fingertips.
The threads traveled over familiar paths rapidly, swiftly enveloping Starfish.
In just a moment, the threads tightly bound Starfish.
This time it didn't matter if Starfish was prepared or not, Su Xi directly controlled it.
However, Su Xi did not control it for long before directly releasing Starfish.
With its consciousness returning, Starfish was completely unsettled.
"You... you... you..."
Starfish truly did not know what to say.
This time, he had used all of his mental strength to defend himself, but it was utterly useless.
Facing Su Xi's puppeteering, he was defenseless, and got controlled directly.
Was it really as Su Xi had said, that once a mark was left, all his defenses were futile?
Starfish suddenly felt the terror of Su Xi's method.
"Saint Monarch Senior, I told you, my idea could work, right?"
Su Xi was still very happy. When she previously shared her concept with Starfish, he hadn't believed her; now he must believe it.
"Yes, yes, yes, it works, it works. Could you just remove that mark you talked about from me?"
Starfish asked cautiously.
"Ah? I don't know how to remove the mark yet."
Su Xi shook her head.
She had only comprehended how to cast this method. The specifics were not yet perfected. Naturally, she didn't know how to eliminate the mark either.
"You don't know how to remove it???"
Starfish was flabbergasted.
Who gains insight into a method like this???
"Right."
Su Xi nodded.
Upon hearing this,
Starfish fell silent, not wanting to say anything more.
Who comprehends a method like this.
Comprehending only how to attack and ignoring everything else.
But when he thought about how the other person had been a Mortal before, he came to terms with it.
"Then put in some extra effort to perfect your method, and afterwards remove the mark from me, and I'll reward you with a tremendous magical legacy!"
Starfish said, half-bewitching, half-advising.
"But, Saint Monarch Senior, I plan to go back to my resting palace. It's uncomfortable staying in Hall of Law Transmission all the time. Also, Saint Monarch Senior, I've just finished viewing your memories, and it seems your techniques are not that formidable."
Su Xi recollected the memories she had just seen of Starfish, and spoke without thinking.
Starfish: "..."
Your method can peer into memories???
If you can peer into memories, that's one thing.
But why would you speak it out loud after peering?
Saying it out loud is one thing, but why add, "Your techniques don't seem that formidable"???
Starfish fell silent, not wanting to say any more.
Seeing that Starfish fell silent, Su Xi did not continue talking either, grasping Starfish in her hand and walking out of Hall of Law Transmission.
Just as she stepped out of the hall's entrance and was about to turn a corner towards her resting palace,
she caught sight of a figure dashing frantically across Grand Hall Square from the outside of Hall of Law Transmission...
It looked like they were running naked???
No, that wasn't right.
Su Xi rubbed her eyes and took another look.
On closer inspection, it wasn't that they were naked but rather shirtless.
And this person, he looked somewhat familiar...
Could it be... the Third Senior Brother?
What was the Third Senior Brother doing hopping around in Grand Hall Square?
But then, should she greet the Third Senior Brother?
Su Xi hesitated; she didn't really want to interact with others.
However, now that she had seen the Third Senior Brother,
it seemed wrong not to greet him.
After thinking for a long time,
Su Xi finally decided to go and greet him.
They were all from the same sect; they couldn't avoid each other forever.
Moreover, she had read the cultivation books written by her fellow sect members and learned that their relationships were very close.
She also wanted to get along with her fellow sect members...
