Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, the sun set and the moon rose, and then the sun rose and the moon set again.
A 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone were, after all, not ordinary items and were not easy to extract safely.
During this period, Xin's spirit power and mental force were greatly consumed, leaving his peerlessly handsome face slightly pale.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, endured intense pain. Even though Xin had prepared herbs in advance to warm the body and nourish the soul, they still could not significantly alleviate her suffering.
The Ninth-Grade Azure Lotus Root, suspended above Bibi Dong's almost perfect body, had already been carefully carved by Xin into a lifelike, roughly human torso skeleton outline.
A remnant soul of a Soft Bones Rabbit materialized upon it, occasionally tilting its head to look at Xin, as if trying to understand who this person was. He was so beautiful, so handsome.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu's mother's origin energy and remaining remnant soul were almost entirely integrated within it, continuously nourished by a ten-thousand-year Dragon Spirit Blood Ginseng.
It was nearing completion. It was almost over.
Xin steadied his slightly trembling hands; he was about to finish carving the torso bone.
"Supreme Pontiff Your Holiness, the spirit-carrying lotus root for the 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone is about to be completed. You will need to endure a little longer. I must draw out the remaining remnant soul. After it is finished, you will become quite weak and lose the abilities of your 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone."
"Wait, what is that?"
"Not good!"
Within Bibi Dong's spiritual sea, darkness suddenly began to spread, rapidly expanding until it even obscured the cherry blossom petals that symbolized fragments of her will.
The spider-web patterns in the sky flickered with sinister, corrupted lines. Just as the Ninth-Grade Azure Lotus Root was fully carved and the final extraction of the remnant soul was about to be completed, a terrifying purple-black Scythe of Death emerged from those patterns.
It forcefully severed the soul-guiding path that Xin had painstakingly constructed, trapping him inside Bibi Dong's spiritual sea.
Outside, in the Heart of Fire Pavilion, the severed connection caused Xin's gaze to grow dazed and unfocused.
Bibi Dong's originally weak purple eyes suddenly turned a deep purplish-red. From an unknown source, a surge of power erupted within her, allowing her to rise and pull Xin onto the ice jade bed. Her soft body pressed tightly against his.
Her gaze fell upon his captivating, peerless face like blooming cherry blossoms. Twisted thoughts of greed and desire surfaced in her eyes, and she could not help but kiss Xin's lips.
"It's the power of the Rakshasa God's trial."
Inside Bibi Dong's spiritual sea, her fragmented souls—once scattered beneath the cherry blossom petals across different stages—were now being eroded by darkness. Their malicious thoughts were stimulated and fused together, forming something akin to an evil incarnation.
Even the dominant portion of her soul, which controlled her body, began to waver.
"Teacher Xin, this is bad. I did not expect the Rakshasa God's Seal to activate at this time. It must have sensed my power being stripped away and forcibly broke the seal to protect itself. I have not yet passed this stage of the divine trial, so I cannot fully control this power. It is the power of malevolence—it will make me lose all sanity."
"What should I do? What should I do!"
"Ah~ Teacher Xin, you're so handsome… I want you so much~"
"Teacher Xin, hurry and leave!"
"Teacher Xin, don't leave! You can never leave me. You are this Pope's forbidden possession!"
"So this is the feeling of possession… it's wonderful. Very good."
"You belong to me. We are a match made in heaven. I am evil, and you are a banished immortal. We are meant to merge into one perfect existence!"
"Teacher Xin, don't even think about escaping! From now on, we must always, always be together. We will jointly control the Supreme Pontiff Palace, unify the continent, and crush all who oppose us like ants!"
