Chapter 557: Mouth Holding Heaven

With the status of a quasi-sage, the reincarnation he formed was inherently incomplete and incapable of autonomous operation.

In fact, although Pingxin Niangniang is nominally a Earth Dao sage, strictly speaking, her role should be regarded as the sentient spirit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Precisely because it is incomplete, Pingxin Niangniang expends considerable mental energy to sustain the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is also one of the reasons Pingxin Niangniang consistently yields, confining the Wu Clan within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Operating the Six Paths of Reincarnation has already consumed the vast majority of Pingxin Niangniang's energy.

Normally, it is manageable; after decades of refinement, Pingxin Niangniang has grown adept at maintaining the Six Paths of Reincarnation's normal operation.

But the primal essence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation condensed by Luo Fu directly awakened the Six Paths' most primal longing.

One must suppress the Six Paths' primal longing while simultaneously maintaining their normal operation.

Under this dual pressure, even Pingxin Niangniang, who had internalized the act of sustaining the Six Paths of Reincarnation into instinct, could not help but feel a trace of strain.

Though her heart still churned like a storm-tossed sea, Pingxin Niangniang had not a single ounce of energy left to question Luo Fu.
