After Changing Her Fate, the Vicious Female Villain and the Protagonist Got an HE! - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Past Life

Wen Shurong only felt a flash of golden light before her eyes. Before she could react, she had appeared in a different world.

A faint fragrance reached her nose, and all her injuries miraculously recovered in that instant.

At first glance, this place seemed to be situated above the clouds, with white mist everywhere, entirely unlike the underground location she had initially perceived.

That wisp of golden light now shone through the clouds and mist ahead, carrying an air of mystery.

Wen Shurong got up and slowly approached. As she moved, the surrounding clouds and mist gradually dispersed.

A rushing sound of water suddenly reached her ear, followed by a boundless sea appearing in her line of sight.

In the far distance, an island was faintly visible, hidden in the clouds and mist.

The moment she saw the island, Wen Shurong was enlightened. She immediately understood that the divine medicine she was looking for was there. Just as she was about to fly through the air, she was startled to find that there was an Anti-Flight Restriction here.

Unable to fly, and with no boats nearby, she could only swim across.

Wen Shurong was about to act when, suddenly, a snow-white feather drifted down from the horizon.

The moment it touched the seawater, it instantly vanished.

Seeing this, her heart sank abruptly.

“It’s actually the legendary Weak Water, which can sink all things. No living thing can survive in the Weak Water. In that case, it’s completely impossible to swim across.”

What should she do?

She walked back and forth along the shore, contemplating a solution.

Before long, a sudden change occurred in the sea area.

A wisp of seven-colored light flew out from the island, landed on the sea surface, and transformed into a small boat, quickly drifting towards the shore.

Seeing this, Wen Shurong was first stunned, then a hint of joy flashed in her heart. She stood still and waited patiently.

After about half a zhǎncha, the small boat successfully docked.

Wen Shurong carefully stepped onto the deck. There were no oars on it, yet the small boat could drift on its own.

There was no wind on the sea surface, but the boat’s speed was quite fast. Wen Shurong stood on the deck, her dark hair fluttering, and she could still occasionally smell that faint fragrance.

She guessed in her heart that this fragrance might be coming from the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower.

When the Sect Leader mentioned this divine medicine, she had recalled the events in her dreams.

In the dream, her Senior Sister was harmed by her, fell into the Soul Break Cliff, and accidentally entered an ancient Great Power’s inheritance site at the bottom of the cliff. She not only reshaped her Dantian but also had her cultivation greatly increased, breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage in one go.

However, the Soul Break Cliff was not in the Kunlun Mountains but located in the Jue Xian Valley, eight hundred li north of the Lingxiao Sect.

Wen Shurong did not know if she was still in the Xuan Yuan Realm. Since learning the true nature of the Heaven’s Mandate Jade Scroll, she knew that everything she saw in her dreams could not be taken as a reference.

Yet, sometimes, certain events in reality overlapped with her dreams.

She did not know how the enemy managed to do this, but she believed that the answer would eventually be revealed.

As her thoughts raced, the small boat gradually approached the island.

The clouds and mist faded, and Wen Shurong successfully arrived on the island.

What met her eyes was like a secluded paradise: green mountains, clear waters, and the fragrance of birds and flowers—peaceful and warm.

The island was not large, covering about ten li in circumference. There were no cultivators or mortals, nor any demon beasts, only some common birds.

Wen Shurong followed her intuition and proceeded until she reached a valley covered in exotic flowers. There, she saw a spiritual plant about five chi tall, emanating a misty spiritual light and unlike the others. It was the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower she had been desperately searching for these past days.

There were no other spiritual plants around this divine medicine. Coupled with its transparent stem, it appeared particularly unique among the multitude of exotic flowers.

Luo Hua had said that the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower needed to be watered with fresh blood day and night. The person watering it had to be of Utmost Passion and Sincerity, and only by moving the flower with true emotion could it bear fruit.

All along, influenced by the Heaven’s Mandate Jade Scroll and her dream experiences, Wen Shurong subconsciously avoided deeply considering her feelings for her Senior Sister.

It was not until she learned that her Senior Sister had removed her Core that a huge sense of panic enveloped her.

At that moment, she finally understood the importance of her Senior Sister in her heart.

The events in the dream were not reality. In reality, her Senior Sister had always treated her well.

She loved her Senior Sister.

Wen Shurong closed her eyes, carefully recalling every detail of her past interactions with her Senior Sister. When she opened her eyes again, she pressed her fingers together like a knife, cut open her left arm, and drops of blood fell, quickly being absorbed by the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower’s branches and leaves.

This process lasted for a long time.

The speed at which the divine flower bore fruit was extremely slow. As time went on, Wen Shurong’s head gradually became dizzy from excessive blood loss.

She immediately took out the pre-prepared Blood Replenishing Elixirs from her storage bag and consumed them. The dizziness was greatly alleviated.

Two hours later…

The divine fruit formed, yielding a fist-sized, pure white fruit that slowly floated towards Wen Shurong.

At the same time, the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower dissipated into dust, leaving only a single spiritual seed buried in the ground.

This flower only bore one fruit in its lifetime. Now that it had been harvested, it would require a long period of time to grow again.

After the divine flower disappeared, an ancient mirror slowly emerged where it had stood.

The moment she saw this mirror, additional information appeared in Wen Shurong’s Sea of Consciousness.

Cycle of Reincarnation Mirror, reflecting past and present lives.

The first person who moved the divine flower with true emotion could have this treasure acknowledge them as its master.

There was no spirit of the treasure in the mirror, and it was completely controlled by the master.

In addition to reflecting past lives, the Cycle of Reincarnation Mirror could also predict the future, possessing the effect of divination.

Wen Shurong focused her attention on the related information, carefully placed the fruit of the divine flower into a specially made jade box, and then waved her sleeve, bringing a burst of spiritual power that drew the mirror in front of her.

The moment she touched the object, the mirror automatically showed her past life.

Her appearance was identical to her current life. Born in the countryside, her parents died in a natural disaster during her childhood. She was saved by her Senior Sister, who passed by chance, and was taken in as a disciple of the Qing Yin Sect, where her Senior Sister belonged.

Because she possessed a Single Gold Spiritual Root, she was accepted as the personal disciple of the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader often went into seclusion, so the task of instructing her in cultivation was entrusted to her Senior Sister.

In this way, the two Senior Sisters stayed together year after year, eating and living together, and sharing everything. She slowly fell for her Senior Sister, progressing from a slight fondness to deep-rooted love.

However, her Senior Sister in her past life was slow to react emotionally. Even with her numerous hints, she never received any response.

Fortunately, her Senior Sister had never fallen for anyone else. At that time, she thought it was fine to just continue like this.

If she spoke plainly, and her Senior Sister did not feel the same way, they might become distant.

She could not tolerate that outcome.

The plain yet warm time spent cultivating passed day by day. In the twentieth year after she joined the Qing Yin Sect, a catastrophe of Heaven and Earth descended without warning.

Mountains collapsed, the sea inverted, and the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was instantly drained by a mysterious force.

In just half a day, the world was turned upside down. The sect’s station was destroyed, and her fellow disciples and Master successively perished in the catastrophe.

In the end, only she and her Senior Sister remained. Carried by a world-destroying torrent, they accidentally reached an independent space within the Earth’s core, which contained the World Origin Power of the Canghai Realm.

Not long after, the World Origin Power suddenly changed, and the space was destroyed. She, already gravely injured, nestled in her Senior Sister’s arms and soon lost consciousness…

The scene presented in the mirror ended here.

Wen Shurong originally had no memory of her past life. Now, having the Cycle of Reincarnation Mirror acknowledge her as its master, she finally recalled the events of those years. For a time, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.

The sorrow was for not having mutually confessed their feelings in her past life; the joy was for having a chance in this life.

In the Ancient Yuan Secret Realm, Su Tianyue had once mentioned the past lives of her and her Senior Sister.

At that time, Wen Shurong did not feel much, as she had no relevant memories in her mind. Now, it was completely different.

Thinking of her Senior Sister’s current situation, she immediately put away the Cycle of Reincarnation Mirror and looked for a way to leave this world.

The small boat that brought her here had long disappeared, and the Weak Water was impassable.

She was transported to this world by a golden light. Could leaving be the same?

Wen Shurong walked to the edge of the island, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore reefs, and gradually sank into thought…

Outside the Kunlun Mountains, in an inconspicuous wicker courtyard, the Zither Spirit, Shan Hai, and the Flute Spirit, Cang Lan, guarded the unconscious girl in white, never leaving her side for a moment.

Since Qin Niyun fell into a coma after her Destiny was seized, she had dreamt of many things, none of which belonged to her current life’s memory.

Most were related to her past life, and a small part seemed very bizarre to her, related to this life but not entirely so.

The memories of her past life, except for the final catastrophe of Heaven and Earth, were all beautiful.

Born into a family of cultivators, she joined the Qing Yin Sect from a young age. Her family was kind and never forced her to do anything.

After meeting her Junior Sister, she was instructed by her Master to teach her the methods of cultivation.

She was accustomed to her Junior Sister being by her side and deeply enjoyed that peaceful cultivation life.

It was just that in her past life, she had never realized her feelings for her Junior Sister.

It was not until the catastrophe of Heaven and Earth occurred. In that confined space, watching her Junior Sister nestle in her arms, gradually losing her breath, and being utterly helpless, the heart-wrenching pain finally made her realize the truth. Unfortunately, it was too late for everything.

Before long, her consciousness also fell into darkness.

After the memories of her past life unfolded one after another in her mind, what followed was everything about her current life.

It was a life path completely different from reality.

In the related dream, to cure the Ice Soul Cold Poison, her Junior Sister pretended to please her. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, she framed her for colluding with the demon sect, cut out her Golden Core, and used it to cure the Cold Poison.

She was pushed off the Soul Break Cliff by her Junior Sister, miraculously survived, and entered an ancient Great Power’s inheritance site, obtaining the Fire Spirit Pearl.

It was also in that inheritance site that she acquired a secret technique similar to the Phoenix Nirvana Technique. With it, she reshaped her Dantian. With the help of the Fire Spirit Pearl, her cultivation greatly increased, breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage in one fell swoop.

Afterward, she returned to the Lingxiao Sect.

At that time, Junior Sister Wen had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and was holding the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

She forcefully exposed her Junior Sister’s conspiracy, crippled her cultivation, and imprisoned her in the ice prison for ten years.

One day, sensing that her accumulation was complete and before triggering the lightning tribulation, she gave her Junior Sister a final resolution and then ascended to the Immortal Realm.

This life experience was vastly different from reality.

In reality, removing her Core was completely voluntary, and her Junior Sister never framed her for colluding with the demon sect.

Qin Niyun awoke from her coma with various doubts. Recalling the related events, she felt an intense sense of detachment.

She trusted her Junior Sister and believed she would never act as she did in the dream.

Instead of saying the person in the dream was Junior Sister Wen, it was more accurate to say that she was merely a puppet with Junior Sister Wen’s appearance.

Thinking of this, she remembered that her Junior Sister was limited by the Karma Spell and could not speak certain things.

She vaguely understood in her heart that her Junior Sister had also experienced those events in the dream in reality.

Ten years of torment… Did her Junior Sister resent her in reality?

In that instant, a thread of panic emerged in Qin Niyun’s heart.

Looking around, she only saw Shan Hai and Cang Lan, but not that familiar figure.

“Where is Junior Sister?”

The Zither Spirit hesitated: “Master, she…”

Qin Niyun was initially worried that her Junior Sister might develop a rift with her due to the dream events and choose to stay away, but then she thought: if that were the case, her Junior Sister would have done so long ago, not waited until now.

Since Shan Hai was here, it indicated that her worry was unnecessary.

However, the absence of her Junior Sister must have a reason.

Seeing the two spirits being evasive, Qin Niyun’s eyes darkened: “Is there something you are hiding from me?”

Shan Hai struggled for a moment, but finally did not conceal it any longer.

“Sect Leader Luo informed the Master that the Kunlun Mountains contain the Spirit Restoration Divine Flower, and its fruit can help Master Qin reshape her Dantian. The Master has been searching for the divine medicine in the Kunlun Mountains these past few days, but just a while ago, I lost contact with the Master. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.”
