"The principle behind the Divine Skills for Rebirthed Innate Fetus she used is to return the soul to a state similar to the Source, and then merge it with a newly born, pure Innate Fetal Body.

The benefit of this is an incredibly solid foundation and immense potential.

But the drawback is that everything about this new body, including the intensity of the Sea of Consciousness, has to grow from scratch."

She extended her little finger and pointed at Tantai Xuefei’s brow.

"Look at her now, her physical body has been forcefully cleansed and accelerated by your powerful Soul Power, already able to bear the strength of the Venerable Realm.

However, the essence of her Sea of Consciousness remains in the previous state of the Heavenly King Realm and hasn’t been strengthened sufficiently to match the spiritual power of the Venerable Realm.

Now, her soul is initially merging with her physical body, and the spiritual power belonging to the Venerable Realm is starting to naturally grow and revive. But the fragile Sea of Consciousness simply cannot withstand it, like a small pond suddenly having to accommodate the water of a lake. The result is... bang!"

She made an explosion gesture, her little face solemn.

"The Sea of Consciousness would burst, and the head would crack open! So her instinctual consciousness, for self-preservation, falls into the deepest closure, afraid to awaken, and afraid to let that massive spiritual power fully unleash."

Gu Sheng heard this, and a moment of realization flashed in his eyes.

This situation is indeed tricky; if it hadn’t been pointed out by Gu Linger, he wouldn’t have thought of this layer at once. The body is easy to strengthen, but the Sea of Consciousness is hard to refine.

He nodded.

"I understand. It seems that I need to help her further by also forging and strengthening her Sea of Consciousness."

Once again, he placed his palm on Tantai Xuefei’s head, and simultaneously said to Gu Linger.

"I will ignite the Spirit Fire to temper her Sea of Consciousness, aiding its expansion and strengthening. This process, I’m afraid, will be several times more painful than cleansing the body just now."

This was explained not only for Gu Linger but also for Tantai Xuefei, who might still retain a shred of Perception.

But at the moment, all of Tantai Xuefei’s consciousness and will are used to suppress to the limit and seal the massive spiritual power constantly sprouting in her soul, completely unable to respond.

With a thought, Gu Sheng’s intensely condensed spiritual power, already carrying a faint golden hue, surged forth again. But this time, instead of a gentle wash, it transformed into a cluster of leaping, emanating heat and purification-like faint golden flames upon leaving his palm!

This cluster of Spirit Fire, although weak-looking, contained Gu Sheng’s highest comprehension and control over Soul Power.

It lightly floated into Tantai Xuefei’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom——!"

It was as if a spark landed in an oil reservoir!

Tantai Xuefei’s originally calm Sea of Consciousness was instantly ignited! The faint golden flames swept across, acting not on matter, but directly on the spiritual Origin Power that made up the Sea of Consciousness!

Those overly cumbersome, insufficiently pure, and the spiritual power originally forming the Sea of Consciousness barriers quickly melted and evaporated like snow under the tempering of this Spirit Fire!

Indescribable pain directly acted on the deepest part of the soul! Even though Tantai Xuefei’s consciousness was in a closed state, her body instinctively convulsed violently, and the face which had regained its rosiness due to the breakthrough became deathly pale like paper without a trace of blood, with fine beads of sweat continually seeping out, dampening her red hair across her forehead.

Her tightly bitten lower lip even seeped with faint traces of blood, indicating the extreme agony she was enduring.

Gu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, cautiously controlling the intensity and range of the Spirit Fire, striving to temper, refine, and expand her Sea of Consciousness to the maximum extent without actually burning away her spiritual Origin Power.

Gu Linger, watching this scene from the side, set aside her playful demeanor and became very serious.

She carefully observed Tantai Xuefei’s state and the faint golden flames burning in the Sea of Consciousness, and suddenly, a peculiar sparkle flashed in her pair of pure eyes.

"Brother, just burning it this way is too slow, and her Origin Power seems a bit special. This is not thorough enough..."

Gu Linger spoke as if muttering to herself.

Then she extended two white, tender hands, palms facing upwards, and slowly closed them. In the next moment, something astonishing happened! From the palms, two flames utterly distinct from Gu Sheng’s faint golden Spirit Fire appeared out of nowhere!

One flame was of an incredibly majestic, as if capable of burning away all evil in the world, bright golden color! The other was pure and flawless, emitting extreme cold and life energy of pure white!

With the emergence of these two flames, the temperature within the Quiet Room became exceedingly bizarre, half scorching like a furnace, half freezing like an icy cave!

Gu Linger’s little face visibly paled, and even her originally solid figure began to fade slightly, clearly indicating the enormous drain on her from simultaneously gathering these two strange flames.

She hesitated not a bit, gently pushed with her small hands.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The bright golden and pure white flames, like possessing spirituality, transformed into streams of light, instantly embedding into Tantai Xuefei’s brow, directly entering her Sea of Consciousness already being tempered by the faint golden Spirit Fire!

The three-colored flames converged in Tantai Xuefei’s Sea of Consciousness!

No violent clash as expected; the bright golden and pure white flames seemed to possess unique Spiritual attributes and did not confront Gu Sheng’s Spirit Fire.

Instead, like the most exquisite craftsman, they began assisting the faint golden flames, more efficiently and deeply refining and purifying the spiritual Source within the Sea of Consciousness, even starting to repair some subtle damage and hidden ailments in the deepest part of the soul that Gu Sheng had not noticed!
