Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, Lin Yi had his Qi protecting him, so the water couldn't get close to him at all. Although he and the bird couldn't breathe as freely in the water as the sea beasts, they were still in the nascent Soul Stage, after all. Such a small thing couldn't stop them.

As for the darkness here, it wasn't a big problem for Lin Yi. He couldn't use his spirit sense easily in the five poison swamp, but there weren't that many restrictions here. Even if the sea water had a small barrier against spirit sense, it was nothing to Lin Yi who was used to the high pressure isolation in the five poison swamp. Since he could use spirit sense, it didn't matter if he couldn't see it with his naked eye.

But for some reason, when he expanded his spirit sense again after such a long time, Lin Yi suddenly realized that the strength of his spirit sense was at least several times stronger than before, whether it was the range or clarity!

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this unexpected surprise. It was like a dream, and he couldn't react for a long time.

Although his strength was no longer the same as when he first entered the five poisons swamp, Lin Yi had never specially trained his spirit sense. First, he wasn't at that level yet, and second, under the pressure of the five elements killing Qi, he couldn't even use his spirit sense. Even if he wanted to train, he couldn 't. Who knew that his spirit sense would increase so much without him knowing!

Lin Yi thought for a moment before coming up with a reasonable explanation,"Could it be that after one's strength breaks through to the original level, one's spiritual awareness will also naturally increase?"

Bullshit! The ghostly thing had to hold back his curses. Unlike the physical strength that could be rapidly improved by taking pills, there had never been a time when the divine sense could be obtained without effort. One could only rely on one's own continuous cultivation and comprehension step by step.

Otherwise, not to mention a Yuanying master, even a xuansheng master would have a weak spirit sense. This Lin Yi kid didn't know how lucky he was-there was no way his spirit sense would increase so quickly after reaching the Yuanying level!

Lin Yi himself didn't know why his spirit sense suddenly increased, but this ghostly thing, who was an observer, knew it very well. It was clearly because when he found the Dragon of the five evils, his spirit sense awakened for no reason. This kid got such a rare opportunity-it would be unreasonable if his spirit sense didn't increase.

The thing knew the reason, but it couldn't tell Lin Yi. The process of consciousness awakening was very mysterious-it was a state of unconsciousness. As long as the thing didn't tell him, Lin Yi would have the chance to enter this state in the future, but if he knew about it, he'd subconsciously or unconsciously lean towards it after he'd tasted the sweetness, and it'd be counterproductive.

The ghost didn't say anything, and Lin Yi thought he was right. He didn't think too much about it and just used his spirit sense to sense his surroundings. What he needed to care about now wasn't his spirit sense, but whether there were sea beasts around.

However, before Lin Yi could fully release his spirit sense, he felt a sudden shock without any warning. An overwhelming pressure forced his spirit sense back into his body, and Lin Yi spat out a large mouthful of blood!

Lin Yi's face changed in an instant. He had a bad feeling before, but now it came true. There really was an extremely terrifying super existence here. Just the pressure alone could make his spirit sense backfire like this. Even the five demons Dragon of earth formation stage couldn't do this!

A horrifying thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind. If it was stronger than the Dragon of the five evils, then it had to be at least in the sea splitting stage?

This endless ocean was indeed unfathomably deep! Lin Yi's heart was filled with bitterness. If he had known that he would suddenly encounter a super sea beast at the sea Rift realm, he would have just left the five poisons swamp directly. There was at least a slim chance of survival when facing the old sect master of West Mountain. Now that he was facing a sea beast at the sea Rift realm, there was no way he could escape. He didn't even dare to move!

Lin Yi wasn't the only one who was surprised to find such a terrifying existence. The ghost was shocked as well, but after a while, he let out a breath of relief and said,"What a powerful sea beast. It's actually able to preserve its primordial spirit after death. It's almost as strong as me ..."

"Dead? Is this the primordial spirit it left behind after its death?" Lin Yi was overjoyed. No wonder it felt similar to the five-poison dragon graveyard. The only difference was that it was stronger and more aggressive.

"Yes, and this primordial spirit is on the verge of collapse, and it's going to dissipate completely soon. In comparison, I'm much luckier. It's only a last bit of obsession that hasn't dissipated, and it has long lost its thoughts and consciousness ..." The ghastly thing couldn't help but sigh.

This scene made him empathize-after all, he'd been like this in the common world too. If he didn't meet Lin Yi, he might've been left with only a little bit of unconscious obsession. The environment in the common world was much worse than here, and the spirit would die faster and more thoroughly.

"Obsession?" Lin Yi couldn't help but click his tongue. If the opponent was a complete spirit, then it wouldn't be hard to understand why he, a peak early stage nascent Soul Master who had just broken through, would be injured like this. But this was just a remnant of his will, what was this?

"Yes, it's the last bit of obsession left behind before the primordial spirit dissipates. When one's strength has reached a certain level, any thought can exist independently in the world. Even if one's physical body and primordial spirit are destroyed, they will continue to exist, just like this sea beast in front of us. In fact, it was the same with the five poison serpent Dragon, but it had entrusted everything to the five evils brat, so its obsession was far less strong than this one." The ghastly thing explained.

"Even the last bit of obsession can be so powerful? It's really inconceivable!" Lin Yi's eyes were wide open-he was at the peak of the original level now, but this thing was talking about how he hadn't even reached the threshold of the system's divine sense training. To reach this level where he could live on with just a thought, it was still a long way off.

"You might find it hard to understand now, but once you reach this level and comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws, you won't find it strange anymore." The demonic thing didn't explain any further-Lin Yi's level was too low anyway, and it was useless to explain. "It's rare to encounter such an obsession. Let's go over and take a look. It'll be fine." (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.
