Chapter 198 Seal
Shen Qingyao gritted her teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead as she struggled with all her might against some kind of power within her body.
After a long and arduous struggle, she finally felt that power gradually weaken and was eventually completely suppressed by her, successfully regaining complete control of the body.
Just then, Xia Ran, who was standing nearby, picked up a sharp knife without hesitation and slashed her finger.
Crimson blood gushed out instantly, flowing down his fingertips.
With a solemn expression, she quickly moved her bleeding finger to Shen Qingyao's cheek and, with astonishing speed and precision, drew an extremely complex and mysterious mark on her face.
In an instant, the bright red blood, as if it were alive, quickly seeped into Shen Qingyao's skin and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same moment, a turbulent storm surged within Shen Qingyao's sea of consciousness.
The once vast and silent sea of consciousness suddenly and without warning appeared a gigantic net.
This net, woven from countless fine lines, shimmers with a faint light, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.
However, this large net was only a fleeting sight, disappearing quietly like a phantom after a brief appearance, making one wonder if what was just seen was merely an illusion.
The Blissful God, who was sleeping in his sea of consciousness, keenly sensed the abnormality of his surroundings.
It suddenly awoke with a start, a strong sense of unease welling up inside it.
Without the slightest hesitation, the God of Bliss flashed, transforming into a black shadow and rushing straight upwards, attempting to escape this strange sea of consciousness.
However, just as it rose into the air, it seemed to have hit an invisible wall and was violently bounced back with a "bang".
Caught off guard, the God of Bliss fell straight down in a disheveled state.
The Elysian God, which crashed heavily to the ground, did not give up. Unwilling to be trapped here, it took a short break, flapped its wings again, and sped towards the exit with all its might.
But the result was still disappointing. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break through that invisible barrier. Each time, it would crash into it like a headless fly and fall down again.
Seeing no hope of breaking free, the God of Bliss, enraged, decided to unleash his final trump card—releasing a massive amount of Yin energy to forcibly break free of the restraints.
It was enveloped in black mist, from which a continuous stream of eerie, chilling air gushed forth.
However, as soon as these yin energies left the body of the God of Bliss, they were as if swallowed whole by an invisible giant beast, instantly dissipating without a trace, leaving not even a trace behind.
At the same time, Shen Qingyao also noticed the strangeness in her sea of consciousness, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Master, what... what's going on?"
Shen Qingyao stared in astonishment at the bound God of Bliss before her, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
Ever since discovering that the Goddess of Bliss was trapped here, she felt as if her divine sense was being suppressed by some powerful force, and her ability to perceive the surrounding things had greatly decreased.
At this moment, even her usually incredibly sharp Yin-Yang eyes were rendered useless; the Yin energy that she could clearly see before could no longer be detected at all.
Moreover, when she tried to gain information by observing other people's faces, those faces became unusually blurry, as if they were seen through a thick fog.
Xia Ran glanced helplessly at Shen Qingyao, shook her head slightly, sighed deeply, and then explained in a heavy tone:
“My disciple, things are far more complicated than we imagine. The God of Bliss once successfully took control of your body, and because of that, it will be easy for him to regain control again. To prevent this from happening, I have no choice but to temporarily seal him in your sea of consciousness.”
At this point, Xia Ran paused for a moment, her gaze fixed on Shen Qingyao, before adding:
"However, there is an even more pressing problem before us—the people of the Bliss Society will be coming soon. At this crucial moment, we must not let them realize that you are not the real God of Bliss. Once they know the truth, they will definitely do everything in their power to help the God of Bliss complete the possession."
"So from now on, you are the God of Bliss! You need to go to the headquarters of the Bliss Society with the others and find an opportunity to obtain the Summoning God Sword. Only with the power of this sword can you summon the Fearless War God, invite him into your sea of consciousness, and completely eliminate this major threat, the God of Bliss."
Xia Ran's words were like a cold wind, making Shen Qingyao's heart tremble. Her already uneasy emotions surged like a tidal wave.
Taoist arts have always been her solid support, like an indestructible fortress, protecting her through countless hardships and dangers.
However, now this defense line has suddenly developed a huge crack—her proud Yin-Yang Eyes have been sealed along with the God of Bliss, and the Taoist arts she once mastered are almost gone.
This sudden change filled Shen Qingyao with anxiety and fear, and her sense of security vanished instantly.
Every thought was like a fine needle, constantly pricking her fragile nerves.
At the same time, she was also acutely aware that although the method proposed by her master seemed risky, it was indeed the only feasible option at the moment.
There is only one path ahead: either forge ahead and achieve victory, or suffer utter defeat and perish together with the Blissful God.
There are no other options, and there is no way out.
Therefore, no matter what hardships and difficulties await her, she must grit her teeth and persevere to the end, and never allow herself to back down in the slightest.
"I understand, Master."
Shen Qingyao responded with a solemn expression. Although her heart was already in turmoil, she tried her best to suppress the intense unease and not let it show.
At this moment, she was like a candle flickering in the wind, swaying uncertainly but refusing to go out.
Xia Ran gently stroked Shen Qingyao's hair, a warm smile appearing on her lips.
That smile contained boundless encouragement and compassion, like the warm spring sun shining on the long-frozen earth, bringing hope and courage.
"Don't worry too much. Your eldest sister will accompany you to the Blissful Assembly. If you encounter any difficulties along the way, or if you urgently need my help, just call out, and I will appear by your side immediately. Go with confidence!"
Shen Qingyao was slightly taken aback, her unease dissipating somewhat. Under Xia Ran's gaze, she slowly nodded.
"it is good."
