The only precaution she had taken before she went into the Serene Spirit Tower was only to not bring the little black cat. She had not thought that the fact their two souls sharing one body would affect the little black cat at all.
The Flame Dragon looked at Jun Wu Xie, seemingly a little perplexed.
“Its situation is very unique. If any non human spirit were to go into the Serene Spirit Tower, even if it was only for a moment, it would turn into the frail state of a new spirit soul. But it did not, and I do not know what the exact situation is between the two of you, but it did not turn out that badly for the little black cat.”

“It is highly possible it is due to the fact your souls are linked. Though its power of the spirit is disappearing, but as you two are one body, then only by having you cultivating doubly hard to exceed the amount of power of the spirit being drained might just still give it a chance.” Although the Flame Dragon understood more about Beast Spirits, but Jun Wu Xie and the little black cat were dual souls in one body.
Jun Wu Xie bit down on her lip, deep regret and hatred filling up her heart in a whirl.
“What is the reason that is causing its power of the spirit to drain?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she looked at the Flame Dragon. If there was no external forces inflicting harm upon a spirit body, it would definitely not suffer such a sustained kind of weakness.
The Flame Dragon shook its humongous head.
“I am not too clear of the reason that is causing it, but it definitely has something to do with the Serene Spirit Tower. The Serene Spirit Tower does not permit any spirit bodies other than human spirits to enter and it must be because there is something in there that is harmful to other spirit species.”
Jun Wu Xie was slightly taken aback. Something in the Serene Spirit Tower?
“I am unable to help the little cat. You can go back now.” The Flame Dragon immediately issued the marching orders without hesitation.
“I am still thankful to you.” Jun Wu Xie thanked the Flame Dragon sincerely. Although the Flame Dragon was unable to heal the little black cat, but it had made her understand the reason behind this, and told her of a way to prevent the little black cat from disappearing.
The Flame Dragon looked at Jun Wu Xie strangely, but did not say anything as it retreated back into its cave.
“So I can leave now?” Poison Ivy asked Jun Wu Xie with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Thank you.” Jun Wu Xie said.
Poison Ivy nodded his head and left.
Poppy and Little Lotus accompanied Jun Wu Xie, walking on each side of her. Under the dimness of the Spirit World, Jun Wu Xie’s heart felt even more depressed.
“Mistress, Little Black will be fine. Your Big Brother is so powerful, he must know of a way to help Little Black.” Little Lotus seemed to have felt Jun Wu Xie’s melancholy mood, and he spoke up, trying to comfort her.
“Wu Yao.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes brightened slightly.
That’s right, she had not asked Jun Wu Yao about it. He might really have a way of saving Little Black at that.
With that thought in mind, Jun Wu Xie did not tarry a single moment as she made her way back. When they got back, Jun Wu Yao still had not returned. Jun Wu Xie was afraid that she might miss catching him when he returns and she made herself remain in her room as she carried the Spirit Fire to practice her cultivation of the power of the spirit. The Flame Dragon had said that since she and the little black cat were dual souls in one body, when the little black cat’s power of the spirit was being depleted, only by having her cultivate constantly, would it be able to make up for the parts that the little black cat was losing.
She did not know how long a period of cultivation she carried on for. Jun Wu Xie seemed to be deeply immersed in her own thoughts, her mind completely pitch black. Within that pitch darkness, she could vaguely see a tiny sliver of golden light, driving back the darkness and fear. She found herself unstoppingly making herself move as she groped her way towards that tiny sliver of golden light in that darkness.
Under the enshrouding darkness, she saw a little golden tree sapling. The little sapling was very tiny, only reaching till her waist level, but it gave her a feeling of great ease, its golden light encasing the entire tree sapling. Jun Wu Xie slowly came closer to it, and lightly touched a golden leaf upon it.
The golden leaf moved slightly, and Jun Wu Xie suddenly felt her sight blurring up.
By the time she opened her eyes, she discovered that Jun Wu Yao was already back in the house. He was seated upon a chair, to watch the little black cat sleeping upon the table.
“You’re awake?” Jun Wu Yao saw Jun Wu Xie open her eyes, and the ends of his mouth lifted slightly.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head, her gaze falling upon the little black cat.
“Little Black is…..”
“I know all about it. Poppy told me everything.” Jun Wu Yao said.
Jun Wu Xie was biting her lip. Jun Wu Yao stood up, and wrapped her in his embrace as he said in a gentle voice: “Things are not as serious as how the Flame Dragon has put it.”

“Not so serious?” Jun Wu Xie’s head lifted up as she looked at Jun Wu Yao in puzzlement.
Jun Wu Yao then said with a laugh: “Everything that the Flame Dragon said is true, but the situation with you and the little black cat is a little more unique. And it’s this very point that the Flame Dragon isn’t that clear about. If it was said that the little black cat and you were two individual souls, then the things in the Serene Spirit Tower might really cause the little black cat to disappear. But as the little black cat and you are one entity, there is also the fact that there is something in you that no one else has.” Jun Wu Xie raised up a hand and pointed it right at Jun Wu Xie’s chest.
“What do you mean?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
“Do you still remember that seed I gave you?” Jun Wu Yao’s finger poked at the softness on Jun Wu Xie’s chest, as he said meaningfully.
“You mean the seed from the Spirit Tree?” It suddenly dawned upon Jun Wu Xie what that little tree sapling she saw when she was cultivating really was.
Jun Wu Yao nodded.
“When I searched out the Spirit Tree for you back then, it was to let you recover your broken soul. The seed from the Spirit Tree is not only able to gradually repair and replenish your soul, it will also stabilize your spirit. While it was strengthening your spirit, it also had an effect on the little black cat as well. Hence, whatever that thing in the Serene Spirit Tower that is affecting the little black cat, it would only cause it to continue to be weakened. As long as the Spirit Tree in your body is not destroyed, the souls of the little black cat and you will never ever disappear.”
Jun Wu Yao’s words finally allowed Jun Wu Xie’s heart to settle back down. Knowing that the little black cat will not disappear, Jun Wu Xie was finally able to heave a big sigh of relief.
She would not be able to withstand the consequences of losing the little black cat.
“Just what is the Serene Spirit Tower exactly? When I went in there, I had indeed felt my power of the spirit increase, but that was a kind of growth that was not stable.” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Although she knew that the little black cat would not disappear, but based on what Jun Wu Yao said, even if the little black cat’s soul would be preserved, it would still remain in that highly weakened state, and that was not what Jun Wu Xie wanted to see.”
The little black cat’s condition started all because of the Serene Spirit Tower and in order for her to resolve that, she would need to start from the Serene Spirit Tower first.
“I’m not too clear on that yet. When I came here before, there wasn’t such a thing in the Spirit World.” Jun Wu Yao spok
e frankly. He had come to the Spirit World a thousand years ago and the things that had sprouted out here in the Spirit World suddenly was something he did not know anything about.
“No matter what that is, it cannot be anything good. Little Xie must not go there anymore in future.” Jun Wu Yao said, as he ran his fingers through Jun Wu Xie’s hair, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.
“I will not go there again, but I cannot leave them alone and not care about it. Otherwise, what am I going to do about Little Black?” Jun Wu Xie would not go into the Serene Spirit Tower again no matter what happens, as she could not be certain if she were to go there once more, would she then bring more harm to befall upon the little black cat.
“Will you need me to go help you take a look?” Jun Wu Yao asked with an eyebrow lifted.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
“You cannot reveal your identity.”
Jun Wu Yao had till now still been unwilling to reveal his secrets and he must have his own reasons for doing that. With Jun Wu Yao’s kind of personality, the fact that he had been made to secretly conceal his identity must mean that the enemy was no ordinary person. Hence, Jun Wu Xie did not want Jun Wu Yao to be exposed to danger because of her.
Jun Wu Yao looked smilingly at Jun Wu Xie’s serious expression and could not help but plant a light kiss upon her cheek.
“Little Xie is becoming more and more gentle. You are actually that concerned about my safety. Rest assured, no one in the entire Spirit World is able to touch me and people who hold animosity against me are not able to come into the Spirit World, unless they exterminate themselves.” Jun Wu Yao’s eyes flashed highly briefly with a sneer. Soul Extraction was not something just anyone would be able to do.

Chapter 1996: Little Black (2)

There was no differentiation between night and day in the Spirit World, and spirit bodies did not require any rest. Qiao Chu and the rest of the gang cultivated in their own houses for a rather long time before feeling that they could not wait any longer as they gathered everyone to go knock upon Jun Wu Xie’s door.
In the instant that the door was opened, Qiao Chu and the others could see that the entire place was scattered with pieces of paper, and on those pieces of paper, they were filled with all kinds of cryptic runes that were hard to understand.
Jun Wu Xie was sitting on the floor in the room, a brush in hand as she continued to write out all kinds of spell runes.
Jun Wu Yao was standing by the door, to look at the several youths standing there in a daze in bewilderment.
“Big Brother Wu Yao, what is with….. Little Xie?” Qiao Chu exclaimed, his face in shock as he looked at the almost maniacal Jun Wu Xie. She was fine just before, so why had she suddenly started to scribble all this?
“Something’s happened to the little black cat.” Jun Wu Yao said as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. Even though he had told her that the little black cat will not disappear, but Jun Wu Xie had still not relaxed. For the entire night, she had been trying to make a record of the Spirit Reinforcement runes she had seen in the Serene Spirit Tower yesterday.
“Huh? What happened?” Qiao Chu was slightly taken aback.
Jun Wu Yao briefly told Qiao Chu and the others about the things that had happened to the little black cat and the faces of the several youths all showed expressions of shock after they heard.
Although they had felt that something did not sound right when they were told of the Serene Spirit Tower, but they had never thought that it would give such an adverse effect. Seeing Jun Wu Xie wrecking her brains out so hard on it, the group of youths could not help but have a worry rise up in their hearts.
Although they did not have a dual soul companion like the little black cat, but they had Ring Spirits that they were inseparable with. If their Ring Spirits were to fall into such disaster, they would not be able to remain calm as well.
No one went to disturb Jun Wu Xie as all of them just stood quietly at the side.
Jun Wu Xie continued to write for quite a long while to precisely write out the sheer amount of Spirit Reinforcement runes in the Serene Spirit Tower was not a task that could be completed within a day or two. And the anxiety that filled her heart gave her no choice but to speed up increasingly, so that she could make out and decipher the secret hidden within the Serene Spirit Tower.
Jun Wu Xie did not know how long she wrote for when she finally put down the brush in her hand. It was only when she raised her head up that she saw Qiao Chu and the others all waiting on one side. She had been too engrossed and did not notice their arrival at all.
“You guys came.” Jun Wu Xie said as she stood up, to walk over to carry up the little black cat who was sleeping soundly.
“We know all about Little Black’s condition. If there is anything you need our help with, just open your mouth to ask.” Rong Ruo came beside Jun Wu Xie to say with concern.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. The little black cat’s circumstances was a little unique. Although the little black cat would not disappear, Jun Wu Xie did not wish to see it so weakened and frail. Only by cultivating her power of the spirit hard, would she be able to let the little black cat recover as quickly as possible, but at the same time, she needed to unravel the secret in the Serene Spirit Tower in order to eradicate the root of the problem. Otherwise, the little black cat might not be able to escape these chains.
“We’ll go look for Nalan Shan.” Jun Wu Xie said calmly. To completely decipher the Serene Spirit Tower’s secret would take her more than a day or two. The soonest she was able to cultivate her power of the spirit would be the most appropriate choice.
Rong Ruo and the others looked at Jun Wu Xie rather worriedly, deeply afraid that the little black cat’s situation would affect Jun Wu Xie greatly. Fortunately Jun Wu Xie was extremely calm about it and did not sink into fear and panic.
The youths tarried for a little longer there before they started on their way towards the Tranquil Dream Forest to look for Nalan Shan, with Poppy and Little Lotus leading them.
The place that Nalan Shan resided in was not too far from Poison Ivy, but just at opposite ends of the Tranquil Dream Forest. When Little Lotus reached there with Jun Wu Xie and the rest of the gang, they saw Nalan Shan trying to gesture something to a Beast Spirit that looked like a brown bear…..

Chapter 1997: Little Black (3)

“You cannot go in. It’s too dangerous here.” Nalan Shan said as he pointed at the brown bear and then pointed at the Tranquil Dream Forest, his face making a pained expression. His antics where he waved his hands frantically looked just highly hilarious.
“Pfft.” Qiao Chu could not hold himself back as he burst out with a stifled laugh. He quickly covered his mouth and went over to Jun Wu Xie to say in a suppressed voice: “Little Xie, are you sure this is the person that is supposed to instruct us in cultivation? Why do I feel that….. he’s a bit of an oddball?”
The brown bear’s spirit body was still very weak, like Qiao Chu and the others, its body was half translucent, making it clear that it had just come to the Spirit World not long ago.
Jun Wu Xie did not respond to Qiao Chu’s words but just went walking over towards Nalan Shan.
Nalan Shan was trying very hard to explain to the one tracked mind Beast Spirit of the dangers in the Tranquil Dream Forest when he suddenly noticed Jun Wu Xie’s presence, and his gentle and good looking face showed an expression tinged with a trace of surprise and delight.
“You came!” Nalan Shan said as he looked at Jun Wu Xie, the surprise in his eyes unconcealable. He had thought after Jun Wu Xie came to know about the Serene Spirit Tower, she would be just like other human spirits to choose to go to the Serene Spirit Tower to cultivate, never ever having thought that Jun Wu Xie would really turn up here.
Nalan Sha
n then very quickly noticed Jun Wu Xie’s spirit body had from its half translucent state yesterday, turned to become almost fully solid today, her progress so fast it was shocking.
“You went to the Serene Spirit Tower?” He had originally thought that Jun Wu Xie had only gone to the Serene Spirit Tower to take a look when she came to know of the Serene Spirit Tower but seeing the state of Jun Wu Xie’s spirit body, Nalan Shan could be certain that Jun Wu Xie must have gone into the Serene Spirit Tower and cultivated in there for quite a long time, otherwise, she wouldn’t have progressed so quickly.
“Mm.” Jun Wu Xie did not hide the fact, and nodded her head.
“I had never thought that a human spirit who had gone into the Serene Spirit Tower would still choose to come find me. You really surprise me.” Nalan Shan could not help but show a bitter smile on his face. It was hard for him to imagine that after having experienced such speedy advancement in the Serene Spirit Tower, anyone would still insist to continue their cultivation with the old and ancient cultivation method.
“I encountered a bit of an accident in the Serene Spirit Tower and I will not go there to cultivate anymore. There are also some things I need to ask you about.” Jun Wu Xi would never go into the Serene Spirit Tower again in this life and she had a vague feeling that Nalan Shan must know some of the secrets about the Serene Spirit Tower for him to feel so strongly against the Serene Spirit Tower.
Not just Nalan Shan, but even Poison Ivy and the Flame Dragon had been highly against the Serene Spirit Tower as well, and just merely questioning them of the reason and they would choose to avoid it and keep mum.
“An accident? What happened to you?” Nalan Shan’s face was filled with shock.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her head to look at the little black cat in her arms, and she then told Nalan Shan about the things that happened to the little black cat.
