Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 444: Divine Statue

It seemed like she wanted to do something to the burning heart, but when Chen Muxue crouched down, she suddenly showed a difficult expression.

Sure enough, Chen Muxue swayed and fell to the ground with a clatter—of course, that "clatter" was the sound of the iron pot falling with her.

Cen Lizhui thought inwardly, just as expected! He quickly went forward to check on Chen Muxue’s condition. This time, Chen Muxue’s state seemed very dire, with her body overexerted, her heartbeat irregular, her breathing chaotic, and at times gasping for air or almost holding her breath.

Cen Lizhui carefully enveloped Chen Muxue in Spiritual Power, attempting to stabilize her condition.

"In this situation, it’s impossible to go looking for the Black Qi..." Cen Lizhui searched the surroundings with his eyes, seemingly looking for a place to temporarily settle her.

The heart of that soul body finally burned out, and the moment the heart dissipated, the small mound of barren earth suddenly collapsed, revealing a hidden passage.

"This was a forbidden area, and yet it harbors a hidden passage?" Cen Lizhui could feel an energy similar to that of the soul body starting to emerge and dissipate from the passage.

After a while, it seemed the energy completely dissipated, and looking into the passage from outside, a large dark hole was all that was visible.

The surrounding crows seemed to be getting restless again, the crisis within the passage might have dissipated along with the soul body, yet outside, Cen Lizhui felt a vague sense of danger.

"It seems more dangerous outside than in the passage, let’s go in for now and have a look." Weighing the options, Cen Lizhui cautiously lifted Chen Muxue onto his back and headed into the passage.

The entities in this passage seemed more connected to the soul body, given that the soul body had dissipated, the inside should be relatively safer.

Cen Lizhui carried Chen Muxue along the passage, and as he walked, the oil lamps on both sides automatically lit up, adding an eerie feel to the dim surroundings.

However, nothing unexpected happened, and Cen Lizhui reached the end of the passage, where a breathtaking altar appeared, the statue on the altar seemed to grow directly from the soil.

The face of the goddess statue was originally shrouded in mist; as Cen Lizhui approached, the face gradually became clear. But just as Cen Lizhui got a good look, an eerie force seemed to envelop the face, and soon, the statue’s face began to change slightly.

Cen Lizhui squinted to see clearly, discovering that the face of the goddess statue, originally that of the soul body, was inexplicably transforming into Chen Muxue’s own face.

And the goddess statue, initially posed as if holding an embroidery needle, gradually changed what it held from a small embroidery needle to an iron pot. The originally graceful posture turned brash, aligning well with the iron pot’s temperament.

Cen Lizhui watched the altar’s goddess statue suddenly turn into Chen Muxue, utterly shocked and dumbfounded.

"Could this be the result of the Summoning God Technique?"

But the question is, what kind of god wields an iron pot like Chen Muxue does to hit people?

Perhaps this is the reason why Chen Muxue could summon the god at crucial moments; since both wield iron pots as weapons, they must share a mutual understanding.

Cen Lizhui looked around; the surroundings of this underground altar were quite empty without anything flamboyant. He set Chen Muxue down, attempting to heal her. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But the moment Chen Muxue was laid down, her eyes suddenly snapped open with a "swish".
