After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

"I am ignorant and have never been disciplined, so I was so reckless and contradicted you in class. I hope that Master Zhai can forgive me and help me solve the problem of the magic."

Jiang Liqian bowed politely.

Jiang Yueming accepted the gift, but did not agree to her words. Instead, he stood up and left the room, waving his sleeves to cast a barrier to block her way.

"I've spoken my mind, and I won't change it, even if I die. If you can think of a way to get your master to save you, you can try."

Jiang Liqian's teeth were almost broken.

What could she think of? She had no spiritual power at the moment, and even if her master really came, it might not be able to break the barrier formed by such pure spiritual power in a short time.

It was just a word, but he refused to let it go easily and treated human life as nothing!

If it was her in her previous life, would she allow herself to be manipulated like this?!

"Little master, are you going to practice? Once you improve your cultivation, you can go out." Xinxin noticed her unwillingness and jumped out immediately. Her light dress fluttered in the air and circled around her several times. She was so excited that she couldn't stop.

Jiang Liqian glanced at her suspiciously. "Why do you particularly want me to practice and suppress my inner demons? Wouldn't suppressing my inner demons hurt you?"

Xinxin rubbed her chubby cheeks and blinked her clear and calm eyes.

"Because this is what the little master wants to do most in his heart. As long as it is what the little master wants to do, he will support it with all his heart.

"And Xinxin won't be hurt. Xinxin is not a human, not a cultivator. Xinxin is just the little master's inner demon. If the little master can eliminate the inner demon, Xinxin will just disappear. The next time the little master has an inner demon again, Xinxin will appear again."

Jiang Liqian stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to say for a long time.

Xinxin is not a human being, nor a cultivator. She exists and she will disappear, but she is eternal and immortal.

And what she really wanted in her heart was to suppress her inner demons...

What's the point of suppressing her inner demons? Should she continue cultivating immortality? But with the burden of her past life, can she still embark on this path of cultivation?

Does she have the courage?

Raising her hand, Jiang Liqian stared at it for a long time, so long that she seemed to have returned to the first time she picked up the Shitian Sword in her previous life.

What was she like at that time?

Confident, rebellious, and determined to fight against the heavens!

What about her now?

Timid, cowardly, and hopeless.

Her eyes suddenly became moist and she closed them tightly.

A crystal tear fell.

-

Jiang Liqian is a true genius in cultivation. Her understanding of the Qiankun Heart Method can be said to be not much worse than that of the Immortal Master Qingzhi. She can practice on her own without the guidance of her master, but she has not practiced for a long time. There is only one reason - once she starts practicing, she can no longer stop.

It's not that she is diligent, or that she is some crazy practitioner.

In the world of cultivation, the first thing to look at is a person's spiritual roots. A person's spiritual roots often determine how close he is to the Tao.

Putting aside special spiritual roots, the fewer spiritual roots and fewer miscellaneous roots one has, the more effective one will be in cultivation. The higher the grade of the spiritual roots, the purer they are, the stronger one's sensitivity to the spiritual power of heaven and earth will be, and one's cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.

First of all, she is a mutated thunder root that is one in a million. The thunder root is originally favored by the heaven, and is naturally able to restrain the inner demons. It also comes from the same source as the heavenly thunder. Practicing with the thunder root is much easier than for ordinary people.

Secondly, she possessed a top-grade thunder spirit root. Her spirit root was so pure that she didn't need to cultivate it herself; thunder spirit energy would naturally flow into her body. Coupled with the Qiankun Heart Method, even if she closed her eyes and slept, doing nothing, her cultivation would gradually increase.

So once she started practicing, she would not be able to stop unless she cut off her own spiritual roots and destroyed her own meridians.

This is why in her previous life she was so busy dealing with the affairs of the Tiangan Sect every day, and yet her cultivation was still the best among the younger generation.

She had originally planned to die in a month, and cultivation would only delay her death.

So now, someone is forcing her to start, has she decided to practice?

Jiang Liqian stood at the barrier and watched for a long time. She also tried to call out to the passing disciples, hoping that they would inform her master and come to save her. Unfortunately, so many people came and went, and no one could see her.

She tried to use the jade token to send a message to her senior brothers and sisters, but it still fell on deaf ears.

She refused to give up and searched for a long time among the pile of strange magic weapons of her senior brother, but she couldn't find any that could transmit messages.

Seeing that the moon in the sky had risen to the middle of the sky and it would be dawn soon, she finally had to admit that Jiang Yueming, that old monster, was indeed cruel and did not give her any chance to survive.

Now, if she doesn't do as he says, he will definitely do what he says and use soul-searching on her. Then the secret of her rebirth will be revealed to the world, causing bloodshed and devastation to all the people. She will truly become a sinner for all eternity.

She sighed deeply and looked up at the sky. The stars were as bright as a bucket, as if the thread of fate was entangled among them, strange and vast.

"If this is my destined fate, are you afraid that I will kill your daughter of destiny?"

The sea of ​​stars remains, I don’t know where it begins and where it ends.

But she lowered her head and laughed.

"You're scared too, right? If you're not afraid, why don't you just let me die?

"My existence is very important to her, right? Without me, what is her destiny? What is her heroine? I have to be stepped on by her so that she can get the heaven..."

But why? Why should she be the stepping stone? Why doesn't she even have the right to die?

"I hope you don't regret it."

Muttering softly, she sat on the ground, closed her eyes and concentrated, flipping through the Qiankun Heart Method in her mind word by word, integrating each word into it, and merging each word into the world.

The starry sky under the night sky shines even brighter, one after another, flashing bright silver light, and among these lights, there is a faint trace of dark purple flashing for an instant.

Jiang Liqian sat under the stars, surrounded by the vast universe. The gentle wind blew through the strands of hair on her forehead, dot by dot, dot by dot. Countless purple light spots approached her rapidly from a distance, swirling around her in circles, kissing her cheeks and her long hair intimately.

She closed her eyes, her mind as calm as a mirror, and in a short while she could see her entire body from within.

She saw her intact meridians beating in the blood, and her gray bones that were still not broken and stayed quietly in her body, and her heart suddenly felt sour.

However, besides feeling sour, she actually saw a blood mist that did not belong to her body hovering above her dantian. The blood mist looked very light, but when she got close, she could smell a sticky and fishy smell.

Very cold and gloomy.

What was even more strange was that there was a sealing iron chain above the blood mist, tightly wrapped around the blood mist, preventing it from easily seeping into her dantian.

She tried to touch it with her sea of ​​consciousness, but a severe dizziness threw her out of the inner vision.

Jiang Liqian suddenly opened his eyes, leaned on the ground and gasped for breath, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Is that what the inner demon looks like?" she was shocked.

There was no moment, even when Xinxin really appeared in front of her, she did not realize as clearly as she did at this moment that she really had a demon in her heart.

A top-grade thunder spirit root gave birth to an inner demon.

"My young master, that is indeed Xinxin's true form, it just hasn't fully hatched yet. But if you allow yourself to be devoured, then not only your dantian, but every inch of your meridians, every bone, and every sea of ​​consciousness will turn into a bloody mist."

Xinxin flew out enthusiastically and gave Jiang Liqian an answer.

Jiang Liqian never thought that the inner demon could be so powerful that it could even corrode the meridians and bones. It was simply unheard of!

But she didn't have time to think about these things now. Midnight was ending and dawn was approaching. Seeing that the sky in the east was about to turn pale, she had to take a deep breath, close her eyes again, walk around the blood mist, and start to absorb the surrounding lightning spiritual power into her body, gathering it into her dantian, removing the pain in her body and achieving the effect of cleansing her marrow and meridians.

Time passed minute by minute. According to the memories and feelings of her previous life, she carefully guided the spiritual power to flow through her meridians and into her dantian bit by bit.

The purple light spots around accumulated more and more, and finally formed an eggshell-like spiritual barrier, completely wrapping Jiang Liqian.

Jiang Yueming, who had been keeping an eye on Jiang Liqian with his spiritual sense, smiled lightly and tapped his folding fan.

"With such good talent, should this be the way to cultivate? Why are you hiding it?"

After laughing, he collected his consciousness and started drinking tea.

-

After completing a big cycle, Jiang Liqian opened her eyes. It was already sunset on the second day. Only half of the setting sun was visible outside, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds, like a dream.

She stood up and found that the barrier that trapped her had disappeared, and the soul-searching technique in her body also disappeared.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, she hurried back to Zhenfeng to explain to her master why she had not returned all night, and then went to find her eldest senior brother and asked him to find a way to make a communication tool that could pass through any barrier, so that she could also tell him about her temporary discovery of the Penumbra Pearl.

But just as he took a step forward, a piercing pain suddenly attacked his dantian, and a fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged into his throat.

She calmed herself down, gritted her teeth and endured it, then staggered down the mountain.

At this moment, the sun has completely disappeared from sight. The path down the mountain is only shaded by the sunset glow. The shadows are mottled and swaying, and dots of darkness are scattered on the snow-white dress.

The wild flowers on both sides bloomed, and were brushed by the skirt, leaving a corner of floral fragrance.

The thin and slender figure hurried down the stairs. Seeing the stone tablet leading to the peak of the formation right in front of her, she endured the pain in her heart and rushed over with the last bit of clarity.

Just at this moment, the formation next to the stone tablet suddenly emitted a bright white light, and someone appeared from the light and took a step towards her.

The next second, the two collided and rolled into the sea of ​​flowers.
