The tragic experience filled Chu Lingwei with a sigh of sorrow. As the girl's memories merged with her own, she could feel the unbearable torment the girl had suffered at the hands of Su Xianrou and Chu Xiyin before her death.
Those beasts!
Chu Chang and Su Xianrou must have known about the original host's physique and raised her only to transfer the sacred blood to their own daughter.
Heh!
Chu Lingwei sneered. Now that she had arrived in this ill-fated girl's body, she would definitely avenge her.
Chu Lingwei quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind. She knew that the half-human, half-beast not far away was powerful. According to the memories, this beast was the first stage of the Three Realms, the Heaven Melting Realm. If it were given time to recover, she would surely not be its match.
Now, what she needed to do was to eliminate this beast first. Fortunately, her spatial powers from her previous life were still with her.
Chu Lingwei closed her eyes slightly and activated the center of her brow. A force seemed to emerge from the void and surge towards her brow.
A new power, previously absent from this body, allowed Chu Lingwei to stand up.
Chi Yan stared in shock at the standing Chu Lingwei, his eyes bulging. Chu Lingwei had clearly been killed by the master's palm strike.
"How is this possible? You're not dead?"
As Chu Lingwei walked towards him step by step, Chi Yan forced out a drop of essence blood, preparing to send a distress signal to his master and inform him that Chu Lingwei had actually revived.
"Die!"
This beast, relying on being Su Xianrou's spirit pet, had tormented Chu Lingwei relentlessly. Now, it would serve as a sacrifice for the girl's departed soul.
"Chu Lingwei, how dare you!"
"Boom!"
Chu Lingwei channeled the power from the void. Space seemed to warp, the valley collapsed, and a wolf's head, as fragile as a watermelon, burst into a bloody mist.
Using the same method, Chu Lingwei destroyed Chi Yan's body.
After killing Chi Yan, her body swayed heavily. Her face was pale. She closed her eyes and softly uttered, "Activate Space."
In the blink of an eye, Chu Lingwei's figure vanished.
...
Xuanxin Sect.
Qingxin Peak.
Su Xianrou suddenly felt a pang of dread and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Chu Xiyin was talking to her mother when she suddenly vomited blood, startling her. She rushed forward to support Su Xianrou.
"The contract with the Crimson Flame Wolf has been broken."
Su Xianrou's gaze turned solemn. The Crimson Flame Wolf was a spirit beast she had contracted with. The severance of their contract meant only two possibilities.
One was that it was forcibly severed by someone stronger than herself, and the other was that the spirit beast had been killed.
Regardless of which it was, the master would suffer varying degrees of backlash due to the broken contract.
"How could this be?" Chu Xiyin looked at her mother incredulously. The Crimson Flame Wolf had already reached the Heaven Melting Realm. There were very few individuals in their Xuanxin Sect who had reached such a realm.
Moreover, spirit beasts had powerful physiques, and generally, those who reached this level were even more formidable than human cultivators.
"I'll go and see," Su Xianrou said with a grave expression. Anyone who dared to kill the Crimson Flame Wolf on their Xuanxin Sect's territory was clearly an unwelcome guest.
Seeing her mother disappear like a shooting star from Qingxin Peak, Chu Xiyin's eyes flickered. She took out her flying artifact and quickly followed.
"Mother, was the Crimson Flame Wolf killed here?"
Chu Xiyin arrived at the place where the Crimson Flame Wolf had been annihilated. She looked at the valley, which had originally been flat ground, now a dark, bottomless pit. However, she couldn't sense any spiritual energy.
"Why can't I sense any spiritual energy?"
Chu Xiyin was puzzled. As cultivators, their spiritual veins differed, and regardless of the techniques they used, they would carry the attributes of their body's spiritual veins.
For example, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as mutated attributes beyond the five elements, such as lightning, ice, and dark elements.
To destroy a valley to this extent without leaving any spiritual energy behind was highly unusual.
"It must be the work of the Human Derivation Sect."
The Profound Heaven Continent primarily focused on spiritual cultivation, with martial arts as a secondary focus. However, the Human Derivation Sect was an exception.
Their sect practiced puppet techniques. This art involved nurturing puppets with internal spiritual power, using the puppets' strength to compete with spiritual cultivators.
Su Xianrou's eyes gleamed with coldness. The Xuanxin Sect and the Human Derivation Sect were neighbors, and conflicts over resources were constant. However, to dare to kill her spiritual beast at this moment was a blatant act of hostility towards their Xuanxin Sect.
"To dare to destroy my spirit pet, I, Su Xianrou, will make them pay the price." Su Xianrou's gaze turned venomous. She was determined to exterminate the Human Derivation Sect within ten years.
...
At this moment, Chu Lingwei, the instigator, was completely unaware that someone was taking the blame for her.
She was now standing in a cave mansion that resembled a celestial realm. Mist swirled around, distant waterfalls were shrouded in auspicious mist, and white clouds imbued with energy drifted freely in the sky.
This space was a celestial mansion that Chu Lingwei had acquired before her death in her previous life. She never expected it to have transmigrated with her after her death.
Chu Lingwei's gaze became resolute.
They shared the same name. Her ability to be reborn in this girl's body and her help in activating the space might be a destined arrangement.
Chu Lingwei approached a waterfall and plunged into it, allowing herself to sink slowly to the bottom.
Instantly, white light flashed from all directions at the bottom of the water and rapidly surged towards Chu Lingwei.
"Hmph."
These white lights flowed into Chu Lingwei's body through her pores, like needle pricks, causing her to groan. The pain was akin to being gnawed by countless ants.
This was not all. She felt the middlemost rib on her back being crushed by something, pulled out, then slowly regrown, torn apart, and reassembled, all transforming into excruciating pain.
Chu Lingwei gritted her teeth and endured. Since the space had merged with her body, she had imprinted all its contents—all its magic artifacts, spirit beasts, and medicinal herbs—into her mind.
And this spiritual spring could cleanse the marrow and wash the meridians, helping her to form spiritual veins and gain the ability to cultivate spirituality.
Since she was bearing the consequences of the original host, she would also bear the causes and effects, and to avenge her, she needed strength.
Enduring the intense pain, Chu Lingwei felt her bones constantly changing within her body. Her blood gradually lost its warmth, and the pain began to subside.
"Success!"
Chu Lingwei rejoiced. Her body floated like a fish at the bottom of the water. The feeling of suffocation from before was gone, replaced by a sense of familiarity.
With a slight movement of her right hand, she could see the surrounding water responding to her gestures.
Chu Lingwei leaped out of the water and, with a flash, appeared in an empty room.
"Spirit Testing Array."
As soon as she spoke, the ground beneath her feet lit up, and a densely packed formation glowed with various colors.
The light flashed and then quickly faded. Within a breath, the formation beneath Chu Lingwei's feet suddenly blazed with white light, and translucent water patterns enveloped her.
"Heavenly Water Spiritual Vein!"
