In a secluded place, the setting sun was serene. Branches and leaves shattered the dying light, creating a net-like pattern. Luo Hongyi sat alone on a stone, mumbling to herself, "You can't do this again. I was completely unprepared, and you just barged in..."

Her gown alternated between red and azure, and the charm and temperament in her eyes shifted with it.

Luo Qingyi pouted. "Why do you always want to fight, Sister?"

Luo Hongyi responded seriously, "On the path of cultivation, you either advance or fall behind. Only by constantly fighting others can we enhance our strength!"

Luo Qingyi remained stubborn. "There are so many prodigies in the Holy Realm now. Why do you only focus on our own people, Sister?"

Luo Hongyi insisted, "Ji Zidian has a Sacred Body, a rarity seen only once every few centuries. How could others possibly compare?"

Luo Qingyi retorted, "That Saintess from the Mount Shu Immortal Sect was also born with a Sacred Body. You could go look for her!"

"Are those two mutually exclusive?"

Luo Hongyi was on the verge of exploding. If Luo Qingyi weren't inside her body, she would have given herself a good thrashing.

Who decreed that when two Sacred Bodies were right in front of her, she could only choose one?

Luo Hongyi was exasperated. "You've been swayed by his handouts! It's one thing to protect your Junior Brother Wang Xiu, but now you want to protect the people around him too!"

Luo Qingyi's face flushed. "I haven't done anything wrong! Besides, you can try it next time, Sister. It really tastes quite good!"

"Shameless!"

Recalling the sight of Wang Xiu feeding Luo Qingyi his Pure Yin Energy, Luo Hongyi burned with shame and annoyance.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. Similarly, one body struggles to contain two spirits. This was a fundamental principle of the Heavenly Dao.

Although Luo Hongyi and her sister shared the same body, one was always primary and the other secondary. As Luo Hongyi grew older and her cultivation level increased, her physical body would instinctively reject the foreign entity within. This rejection would only grow stronger over time. Luo Hongyi could still control it for now, but there would inevitably come a day when she couldn't.

The Saint Manifestation stage Patriarch who had personally guided her cultivation had also pondered this issue, but in the end, he had only two solutions. The first was to temporarily seal Luo Qingyi's spirit and deal with it later. The second was to use a special technique to separate Luo Qingyi's spirit from their body and have her cultivate the Ghost Path instead.

Luo Hongyi was dissatisfied with both options. She knew the old Patriarch meant well, as the fusion of one's soul and body was an almost essential requirement for the advanced stages of cultivation. If she couldn't overcome this hurdle, Luo Hongyi would struggle to even achieve Soul Travel and would likely be stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage forever.

But Luo Hongyi knew her sister's spirit was as fragile as an infant's, completely different from the Divine Souls of cultivators. There was absolutely no hope for her to successfully cultivate the Ghost Path. Even seizing another body to be reborn would be incredibly difficult. As for sealing her away, that was even more preposterous. If even a Saint Manifestation stage Patriarch couldn't solve the problem, how long would 'later' be? Was she supposed to seal her sister away for hundreds, or even thousands, of years? Luo Hongyi couldn't do it.

Over the years, she had searched for Precious Medicines that could supplement and strengthen spiritual power, hoping to bolster Luo Qingyi's spirit. Regrettably, Luo Qingyi couldn't absorb any of them. Instead, Luo Hongyi's own Divine Soul ended up absorbing their essence. This only made Luo Qingyi's position within their body more precarious, and it frightened Luo Hongyi so much that she never dared to try anything similar again.

...

However, the Pure Yin Energy that Wang Xiu condensed using the Ming Emperor's Prison Sutra could actually be absorbed by Luo Qingyi, replenishing her origin and enhancing her spiritual power. This left both sisters utterly astonished and overjoyed.

After just a few sessions, Luo Qingyi's once-feeble spirit had grown much stronger, becoming no different from that of an ordinary person and allowing her to remain active for long periods. Luo Hongyi doted on her, and whenever Luo Qingyi wished, she would cede control and let her take charge of their body. Even when Luo Qingyi occasionally tried to seize control, Luo Hongyi would never fight her, voluntarily stepping back for fear of harming her fragile sister.

Seeing her sister's spirit grow increasingly vibrant brought her genuine joy. But this girl had the gall to shamelessly suggest that she should imitate her and also feed on the Pure Yin Energy that Wang Xiu produced!

The idea is absurd!

She, Luo Hongyi, was one of the foremost Heaven's Chosen in the entire Holy Academy. She beat up prodigies and kicked freaks. If she did something like that, how would her followers look at her? How could she possibly maintain her authority?

Luo Hongyi declared resolutely, "I, Luo Hongyi, would rather die than do such a thing!"

Luo Qingyi blinked. "If you're too shy, Sister, you can just pretend to be me... Just one little taste. Junior Brother Wang Xiu probably won't notice!"

Luo Hongyi's heart suddenly pounded. She was actually tempted. What was happening to her?

She stomped her foot as if she were going mad. "Never! Never! Absolutely not!"

...

At that moment, Guan Shanyue came running over, his eyes filled with tears of gratitude. He tried to throw his arms around her. "Big Sister, we love you—Ouch!"

Before he could get close, he was sent flying by Luo Hongyi's kick. His face twisted in pain, his stomach churned violently, and he nearly passed out.

Guan Shanyue was baffled. He hadn't done anything to provoke Big Sister today, so why was she in such a rage?

"Spit it out! And keep your hands to yourself!" Luo Hongyi's face was dark. She had been looking for a way to vent her vexation, and this punching bag had just served himself up on a platter.

Guan Shanyue scrambled to his feet and took out the Spirit Fruits he had been given. His eyes were sincere. "Big Sister, you're too good to us! So many Spirit Fruits... you didn't even keep any for yourself and gave them all to us!"

Luo Hongyi's eyes widened as she stared at the Spirit Fruits and Precious Medicines cradled in Guan Shanyue's palms. Each fruit and herb shimmered with a rosy glow, shining brilliantly in the dim forest and pulsing with divine light. They were all of exceptional quality, a rare sight even in the Ancient Forest, which was otherwise teeming with opportunities.
