"Where am I supposed to find this so-called Cinder Abyss Jade right now?" Song Wen asked, his tone sharp.
Shadow Void replied, "Actually... there's another way to inject the Soul Source Essence into her Sea of Consciousness."
"What method?" Song Wen pressed.
"Master simply needs to use your divine sense power to construct a channel connecting your Sea of Consciousness to hers," Shadow Void explained.
Song Wen frowned. He had mastered the Focused Spirit Stab, allowing him to condense invisible blades of divine sense power. But he had never heard of a method to construct such a channel.
"How do I build it?"
"That's for you to figure out, Master. I don't know either," Shadow Void admitted.
Song Wen's brow furrowed slightly. How was he supposed to figure this out?
He glanced at Bai Wei, who was still convulsing on the deck, and decided to take the risk.
Song Wen sat cross-legged, cleared his mind, and focused his divine sense power, drawing upon the techniques of the Focused Spirit Stab. He slowly activated his divine sense power.
The divine sense power responded obediently, forming a channel within his Sea of Consciousness according to his will. However, as the channel extended beyond his Sea of Consciousness and emerged from his forehead, it abruptly collapsed, beyond his control.
Huff!
Song Wen exhaled a mouthful of stale air. Though the attempt had been brief, it had drained a significant portion of his mental energy.
After a moment's respite, he once again activated his divine sense power.
This time, he deliberately channeled only a minuscule amount of divine sense power, creating a channel as thin as a strand of hair.
The narrow channel proved much easier to control.
It slowly extended outward, eventually reaching an inch beyond Song Wen's brow.
He refrained from attempting to extend the channel further, as the mental strain was simply too great.
Dispersing the channel, he turned to Bai Wei beside him.
"Senior Bai Wei, I have a method to heal your divine soul, but it requires you to open your Sea of Consciousness and for us to be in close proximity."
Bai Wei was currently drowning in the agony of her collapsing divine soul, her consciousness blurred and barely aware of her surroundings. She remained oblivious to the events that had just transpired around Song Wen.
Hearing his words, she clung to them like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline. With her last shred of strength, she whispered weakly, "Save... me."
Song Wen nodded, then swept his divine sense across the mountains below.
Immediately afterward, he retracted the Giant Flying Ship, took Bai Wei, and flew several miles to a large mountain, entering a cave halfway up its slope.
Song Wen set Bai Wei down and swiftly deployed a concealment formation within the cave.
"Forgive me for this."
Song Wen leaned in close, pressing himself against Bai Wei.
Their foreheads touched, their lips met.
Bai Wei seemed to have lost consciousness, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Song Wen focused his divine sense, attempting to probe Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness. To his surprise, he found it completely unguarded, its gates wide open. His divine sense easily infiltrated the domain.
Instantly, everything within Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness lay bare before Song Wen's eyes.
Only then did he realize the full extent of the damage to Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness and divine soul.
The Sea of Consciousness resembled a desolate wasteland, crisscrossed by jagged ravines.
The divine soul flickered dimly, its surface riddled with cracks that continued to spread, as if the soul were a fragile piece of pottery on the verge of shattering.
Bai Wei's consciousness had sunk into deep chaos. Her divine soul's eyes remained tightly shut, completely unaware of Song Wen's divine sense probing.
As Song Wen gazed at the tattered Sea of Consciousness and divine soul, an inexplicable sense of morbid curiosity arose within him. This was the first time he had ever observed another person's Sea of Consciousness in such detail.
After a thorough examination, Song Wen activated his divine sense power and began constructing a channel.
The channel emerged from the center of Song Wen's forehead and pierced into Bai Wei's.
Within Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness, a hair-thin, transparent channel materialized.
The Black Hole in Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness emitted specks of light.
These luminous particles drifted toward the channel's entrance, but due to its narrowness, they could only enter one at a time.
As the shadow void had predicted, the channel's protective barrier prevented the light particles from dissipating after leaving Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness. Instead, they flowed along the channel into Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
At the channel's exit, a steady stream of light particles poured forth.
Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness absorbed these particles. Weak spiritual light flickered from the damaged areas, and as the light faded, the fractures began to mend slightly.
Despite witnessing this progress, Song Wen remained dissatisfied.
Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness was riddled with holes. Fully restoring it would require an immense amount of Soul Source Essence—essence that could be exchanged for spirit stones.
Song Wen decided to first stabilize Bai Wei's divine soul, preventing its collapse. He would leave the remaining damage for her to resolve herself.
However, after several attempts, Song Wen realized he couldn't even accomplish this much.
Most of Song Wen's divine sense power was focused on constructing the Dao passage, leaving him with no reserves to control the Soul Source Essence entering Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
After a moment of contemplation, a phantom shadow slowly emerged from the crown of Song Wen's head—his divine soul.
This was the first time his divine soul had left his physical body.
Having advanced to the Void Refinement Stage, his divine soul had grown sufficiently strong and stable to freely detach from his body. Without relying on any external means, he could now roam the heavens and earth at will.
Song Wen's divine soul didn't rush into action. Instead, he cautiously observed his Sea of Consciousness.
He quickly confirmed that his Sea of Consciousness remained under his control.
The Black Hole still hung high above, suppressing the shadow void beneath it. From within the Black Hole, Soul Source Essence continued to pour forth, flowing into the Dao passage.
With a swift movement, Song Wen's divine soul plunged into Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
Arriving before Bai Wei's divine soul, Song Wen wrapped his arms around her waist.
The contact between divine souls felt remarkably similar to physical touch—warm and soft.
Song Wen had no time to appreciate these sensations. He carefully cradled Bai Wei's divine soul, terrified of accidentally shattering her already fractured form.
After considerable effort, Song Wen finally managed to carry her soul to the exit of the passage.
The radiant light emanating from the passage's exit bathed Bai Wei's divine soul.
As the Soul Source Essence merged with her, the cracks on her soul flickered with a soft, luminous glow.
One by one, the fissures began to mend.
Bai Wei's tightly closed eyelids suddenly trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Song Wen's heart quickened. He swiftly withdrew his divine soul from Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness, returning to his physical body.
He had assumed Bai Wei was about to regain consciousness, but events unfolded unexpectedly.
Bai Wei's eyelids twitched a few more times before settling back into stillness, her eyes remaining firmly shut.
The healing process proved far more protracted than Song Wen had anticipated. It wasn't until seven full days later that the cracks on Bai Wei's divine soul were finally mostly repaired.
Bai Wei's divine soul abruptly opened its eyes.
In the next instant, in the outside world, Bai Wei's eyes snapped open as well, meeting Song Wen's gaze, their faces nearly touching.
