I thought I was going to die, but I could still open my eyes. When I did, I saw not the underworld, but an unfamiliar forest.
I don't know how long I stayed in this strange forest before I encountered a young girl who had fallen off a cliff. The girl seemed to be about eight or nine years old and was severely injured. If I hadn't been dead, I might have been able to save her. Unfortunately, at that time, I was just a lonely wandering spirit. I could do nothing, so I sat beside the girl, waiting for her to breathe her last.
After she died, her soul left her body, allowing me to communicate with her. However, she proposed an idea that seemed absurd to me: she wanted me to possess her body to return to life, in exchange for helping her get revenge and taking care of her family.
While I was still contemplating, I was pulled into her body by an inexplicable force. By taking her body, I was compelled to agree to her conditions. Of her two conditions, I only agreed to one, because I no longer knew how to interact with others.
At that time, I didn't know what that force was. Later, I learned it was the spirit of the bracelet I had bought myself as an eighteenth birthday gift. I also understood why the original owner didn't possess her own body to return to life, because soul possession required a pill to succeed; otherwise, the body would rot. However, due to the spirit of the artifact, I successfully returned to life without needing to take a pill.
After integrating the original owner's memories, I didn't immediately go to her home. This was because I didn't even have the ability to protect myself back then. So, I lived in Luoxia Forest, the unfamiliar forest I had seen when I woke up.
Having integrated the original owner's memories, I also understood how to cultivate and began to do so in Luoxia Forest. However, one thing I still can't figure out is why my left eye turned so red. The original owner's body didn't have unusual eyes, nor did my previous eyes have such a distinct color.
After living in Luoxia Forest for ten months, I met Wen Zonglin, the dean of Guling Academy. Seeing my talent, he took me as his disciple and taught me cultivation. He treated me very well, but I couldn't trust him.
By accident, I fell into a crystal palace beneath Luoxia Forest. In this crystal palace, I cultivated a second dantian, contracted Guanyue, obtained a legacy and a spiritual energy mass, and my cultivation advanced rapidly.
Ten months later, Master was returning to Guling Academy and wanted to take me with him, but I refused. My cultivation was sufficient to hold my own on the Guling Continent, so he was relieved to let me go to Guling Academy on my own and didn't force me to go with him. We parted ways outside Luoxia Forest.
On my way to Guling Academy, I passed through a country whose name I couldn't recall. During an artificial beast tide, I accidentally entered a secret realm. In the secret realm, I contracted Wei Yu. Wei Yu had not yet hatched at that time; she only hatched after I contracted her.
I stayed in the secret realm for about three months. I found a teleportation array but was unsure if it was the exit. While I hesitated, Wei Yu and Guanyue started arguing again. Wei Yu rapidly collided with Guanyue, and Guanyue dodged lightly, causing Wei Yu to crash directly into me, sending me into the teleportation array. The teleportation array activated immediately. Just before being teleported away, I collected both Guanyue and Wei Yu into the Fengxi Realm, the space within the Fengxi Bracelet.
The other side of the teleportation array was indeed an exit, but it was not an exit to the Guling Continent. Instead, it was an exit to the upper realm of the Guling Continent, the Gu Xuan Continent. However, this exit was unusual; it was at a high altitude.
I found myself falling rapidly. Wanting to land with minimal damage, I landed on a human shield just before hitting the ground. I clearly heard a muffled groan and the sound of bones breaking.
I quickly got up from the human shield. The pain in my left leg told me my left leg was also fractured. However, I couldn't worry about that now. Since I wouldn't die soon anyway, I took a pill and carefully examined the human shield.
The human shield was a man. I didn't know if it was because of the impact, but he had fallen unconscious. The man had a fractured sternum, several broken ribs, and his internal organs were injured.
From the noble aura he exuded, I knew his identity was not simple. To avoid offending a powerful figure, I drew my dagger and tried to end him. However, when I stabbed fiercely towards his heart, his heart was unharmed, but the dagger broke. I tried several times with the same result. Not only did I fail to kill the man, but he also woke up.
I swear that if he hadn't lost his cultivation at that moment, I would not have survived.
Since the person was awake and I couldn't kill him, I resigned myself to fate. However, I didn't want to keep such a dangerous person with me, so I left without looking back, leaving him bewildered in the wind.
I thought I had gotten rid of him, but to my surprise, he found me two days later, sticking to me like a piece of tar. Due to poisoning, he had lost all his cultivation. I could detoxify him, but I didn't want to court death.
I stayed on the Gu Xuan Continent for a year and a half, contracted Chen Sha, cultivated a third dantian, and then went to the Cang Lan Continent. On the Cang Lan Continent, I offended someone due to my ignorance of the rules and was pursued. I fled near the Holy City, ran out of strength, and fainted. A Yuan, who had secretly escaped, found me and brought me back to Qingxin Hall. Under her care, I recovered.
A Yuan didn't ask me why; she only asked if I could be friends with her. I intended to refuse, but her eyes were very clear, and Fengxi, who could see through a person's soul, said it was okay. So, I decided to take a gamble and became friends with her.
As it turned out, my gamble paid off. A Yuan was indeed different from those people before. She had no ulterior motives towards me, never did, and instead protected me everywhere, even handling my enemies when they came looking for me.
But I forgot one thing: once the heart is opened, it's hard to close it again. Gradually, Gu Yuncheng also entered my heart. I am not someone who likes to escape, so I accepted him. Because he was always very serious before, I had always called him A Su.
I stayed on the Cang Lan Continent for over a year before going to Linghua Island. I stayed there for two years and contracted Jing Chen and Xin Tan. It was also on Linghua Island that A Su took me to the Demon Realm because his parents had finally returned for a visit, so I went with them. His parents were very open-minded and did not make things difficult for me. I also met his sister, a very cute girl.
It was also in the Demon Realm that, under an accident, I was stimulated and lost control. A Su, not wanting to hurt me, took a blow from me directly. From then on, every time he advanced, regardless of success or failure, his divine soul would become unstable, and he would revert to his original form, only transforming back into human form after two to three months.
Because I couldn't accept that I had injured him, I used a formation to seal my dark side. After that, she appeared in the depths of my Sea of Consciousness. Due to her appearance, two of my three dantians were sealed. Later, after a period of closed-door cultivation, I recovered some of them, and a full recovery happened in Xiahning City.
Not long after returning to Linghua Island from the Demon Realm, I grew divine bones. At that time, I didn't know what it represented. However, two days later, I was inexplicably brought to the Holy Domain and chosen as the Saintess of War. Later, on one occasion, my Saintess Master told me that she wanted to fight for a sliver of hope for me. I then understood that she had known I would take that gamble long ago and had been watching me. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
At that time, having become the Saintess of War, I went to challenge the ancient battlefield according to the rules. I seemed to have seen a phantom inside and spoken some words to her, but now I can't recall them.
