"Although I have not established a connection with the Void Green Lotus, after a long time of research, I have also figured out a little bit about it. So I have a rough idea already, I just need your cooperation."

Since he needed help, especially at a critical juncture concerning his own cultivation path, Zhu Shigu naturally wouldn't be unprepared.

Or rather, on the contrary, he had actually prepared very thoroughly, only lacking the key figure Liang Yi's presence and cooperation.

"Will it cause any harm to you if you help, senior brother?"

Even though Senior Zhu seemed to be an old acquaintance of the master's, and senior brother was also willing to offer help, Su Youyi still cautiously asked one more question.

She didn't want any accidents to befall her senior brother, as that was the foremost premise.

"According to my predictions, an accident is unlikely, but since it has never been attempted before, I cannot give you a full guarantee,"

Zhu Shigu shook his head, not giving a full assurance, because there is always the possibility of accidents in anything.

"And with me here, even if something unexpected does occur, I can promptly reverse the situation."

"Don't worry."

Liang Yi turned his head and smiled at his junior sister. He was not a fool and would certainly terminate the process proactively if any accident were to arise.

"Alright then."

Su Youyi sighed, resigned to letting her senior brother proceed as he wished.

She was only at the Sixth Realm, yet she had to get involved in matters of such high level. According to Grandpa Ju's words, once Zhu Shigu advanced to an Innate Divine Object, he would be one of the prominent figures in the Ninth Realm.

At this level, her strength of the Sixth Realm seemed rather weak and insignificant.

"Don't worry, I'll be watching over here, meow. Are you not reassured with me, Grandpa Ju?" Grandpa Ju hopped in front of Su Youyi, patting his chest to assure her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you,"

Hearing Grandpa Ju say this, Su Youyi felt a bit more at ease, at least it seemed that Grandpa Ju's understanding in this domain was indeed unparalleled by anyone else.

"Please follow me, I've inscribed the Array in the center here."

Zhu Shigu tidied up the tea set in front of him, then stood up and crossed the stream towards the deeper part of the bamboo forest.

Liang Yi and the others got up and followed Zhu Shigu to the Array.

"As you all know, the interior space of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo is vast, and an Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo that has reached the level of an Innate Spiritual Object has space almost comparable to a small world,"

As they walked, Zhu Shigu explained why he inscribed the Array ahead.

"So that means..."

Liang Yi, as if he had guessed something, suddenly looked up.

"Exactly, as you are thinking, the boundless bamboo sea that you saw from outside, as well as the foundation of our Little Bamboo House, both exist within the space created by the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo."

"And my true form, the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo, is the core of the entire space, and the place where I inscribed the Array is the core of the core."

Su Youyi and Grandpa Ju now understood that when they fell into that door from the canyon, they had actually entered the body of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo; previously, they had only guessed it was merely a Secret Realm.

The core was not far. Under the guidance of Zhu Shigu, after even less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, they emerged from the dense bamboo forest.

They left the bamboo forest behind them, and the scenery abruptly became open and bright.

Only then did Liang Yi realize that the source of the surprisingly rich Spiritual Energy in the stream was right here, and its ending flowing into the bamboo forest was also here; beginning and end connected, forming a closed loop.

And at the intersection of the source and end, stood a slender purple bamboo quietly.

This bamboo was different from any other bamboo Liang Yi had seen before, because this stalk was actually purple.

Moreover, the column was unusually normal in volume, barely distinguishable from regular bamboo, appearing even more delicate compared to the bamboo outside. The bamboo body was slender and bright, gleaming with a healthy sheen.

There was no wind here, yet the bamboo was still gently swaying as if welcoming everyone's arrival.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi even sensed a joyous emotion emanating from the bamboo.

"This is the true form of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo, meow..." Master Orange was also assiduously inspecting it.

Although he has seen countless Innate Divine Objects, this might be the first time he has seen one that has progressed step by step from the acquired to this state.

"Although due to some astonishing Heavenly Mechanism opportunity, most of the spiritual essence within the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo has transformed into me, there is still a small part of spiritual essence contained within."

Zhu Shigu softly explained.

"And the Array is right there."

Following the direction Zhu Shigu was pointing at, Liang Yi finally noticed the complicated Array etched around the soil where the purple bamboo was rooted, supported by spiritual power from that stream.

The stream's source was a droplet formed by the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo absorbing endless spiritual energy from the void, the water drops gathering from the bamboo leaves to gradually form a brook.

"No wonder it tastes so good..."

Liang Yi muttered inwardly, essentially a pool of the Blue Potion, the kind that would fully replenish a normal player's energy with just one sip.

If the waters here could be delivered to those in Medicine Valley, they would easily come up with a bunch of good stuff.

No wonder there were no fish in the water; if a fish didn't have enough cultivation, it would probably be drowned by the spiritual power as soon as it was placed in.

"So, I go over there?"

Liang Yi pointed at the purple bamboo surrounded by the stream water, as well as the Array beneath it.

"Yes. I have studied the method of a cultivator connecting with the Void Green Lotus from Qinglian Creation, to put it simply it's using the power of Qinglian to break open the void, forming a passage that connects both sides."

Zhu Shigu pointed one finger towards Liang Yi, and another towards Su Youyi.

"This line represents the connection between you two. Since the line is in the void, it almost won't break no matter where the cultivator goes, unless an external force interfering surpasses the Void Green Lotus."

"That's true."

Liang Yi nodded, others might not understand, but as a practitioner himself, he understood the principles involved—he knew Zhu Shigu's studies were not misguided.

Su Youyi was somewhat lost in thought, looking at the invisible "line" between Zhu Shigu's fingers; if there was indeed such an unbreakable line between her and her senior brother, it must be called "fate"!

"In reality, the purpose of this set of Arrays is to greatly weaken the stability of that space, making it easier to break the spatial barrier and enter the void."

Zhu Shigu pointed to the space covered by the Array, and upon closer inspection, Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Master Orange realized that the space did indeed give them a sense of fragility, as though it would shatter with a light touch.

Normally, only a cultivator at the Seventh Realm would have the strength to break the spatial barrier and directly escape into the void for a brief evasion from an enemy's attack, or for short-range teleportation.

However, by the Eighth Realm, a cultivator could freely move within the superficial layers of the void of Mystical Mechanism Continent, and long-distance travel wouldn't be a problem.

But under Zhu Shigu's Array, even Liang Yi and Su Youyi could now break through that space.

This was not only because Liang Yi and Su Youyi were no ordinary cultivators, but the Array also played a significant role to a certain extent.

"My idea is to have you operate the Qinglian Creation with all your strength within the Array to strengthen your connection with Qinglian, and then I can catch the communication channel between you and the Void Creation Green Lotus to communicate with it."

"Just communication, that's it?"

Liang Yi was stunned, because for Zhu Shigu to break through to become an Innate Divine Object, he would need a cluster of Origin Energy from the Void Creation Green Lotus. Although it wouldn't be an irrecoverable loss, it could still be considered extremely valuable, at least causing significant harm for a while.

"Yes, I quite agree with the principle of equivalent exchange upheld by the president of Wind God Commerce, so I will try to offer a price that will satisfy the Void Creation Green Lotus."

Zhu Shigu nodded, confidence shining in his eyes.
