The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Leaning lazily on the soft couch, Gu Lingxi quickly browsed through historical records and biographies of various states, gaining a general understanding of the situation and structure of her continent.

The Shangyuan Continent consists of five countries: Dongyu, Beiyou, Xize, Nanruo, and Zhongji. Zhongji, for some unknown reason, has incurred the wrath of many and was recently divided up by the four allied countries. Now, only four countries remain, forming a four-way balance of power. These four countries have also formed alliances to check and balance each other, making the situation extremely delicate.

Dongyu, the country I reside in, is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the vast Wanze Forest on the other. With these natural barriers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unless the other countries are absolutely certain of victory, they will not easily invade! With enough time to recuperate, Dongyu has always considered itself the leader of the four countries. Its army is strong and well-equipped, and its people have always lived in peace and prosperity.

The people on this continent practice Xuan cultivation, and the martial arts here are similar to those in the TV dramas I watched in my previous life. They are divided into five major stages: Initial Xuan Realm, Middle Xuan Realm, Advanced Xuan Realm, Spiritual Xuan Realm, and Divine Xuan Realm.

Each major stage contains five minor stages. Most people stagnate after reaching the High Profound Realm, making little progress in their entire lives. As for the Divine Profound Realm, it is said that only a handful of people have reached it in the past hundred years. The most outstanding ones are all from powerful forces, such as Ye Yunchu, the city lord of Wuyang City, the Venerable Master of the Demon Feather Palace, and the Ghost Emperor Venerable Master of the Extreme Abyss Dark Palace, among others.

These powerful forces are not bound by the four kingdoms and dominate their own territories. It's truly a mixed bag! Whether it's imperial power or various factions, it's a world where strength reigns supreme. Whoever has the biggest fist gets to listen!

It seems I need to do something if I want to do better here. Most of the women here are ordinary people with no special abilities; only a very few women or daughters of powerful families practice special abilities to show off their wealth.

Of course, not just anyone can cultivate profound energy. Without the aptitude of a profound spiritual body, it's out of the question. Abundant capital and family influence are also indispensable conditions. Because profound herbs that can aid in cultivation are extremely rare, their prices are outrageously high, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.

Needless to say, this body is as frail as a willow, and I don't know if it will be blown away by the wind! It seems that I need to put in some effort and formulate a suitable plan based on my memories and experiences from my previous life.

As she looked around, a wave of weariness washed over her. Suddenly, she remembered the cinnabar mole that had appeared on her forehead. This thought had a jolt of fear; suddenly, her body felt light, and the scenery before her eyes changed. She was no longer in that house. Startled, Gu Lingxi snapped out of her drowsiness!

Where is this? After digesting these past few days, Gu Lingxi has become somewhat immune to the bizarre things that have happened to her!

She tried her best to remain calm, but faced with this sudden turn of events, she was still a little nervous. However, her years of experience as a special agent allowed Gu Lingxi to quickly regain her composure.

Looking around, the area is about four or five acres in size! In a pile of stones, a spring is gushing out water, forming a small lake!

Beside the small lake stood a lush, unnamed ancient tree, its age unknown, its trunk estimated to be as thick as five or six people could encircle it! Among its dense, canopy-covering branches hung a few bright red fruits! I wonder if they're edible!

The ground was bare, with nothing else besides these two things. All around was a vast expanse of white, obscuring the distance!

As Ling Xi slowly approached the spring, she found that the closer she got, the more comfortable she felt! On a huge rock beside the spring, the four large characters "Spiritual Spring Space" came into view! This was a portable mustard seed space!

As her hand caressed the stone tablet, a ripple appeared, and a cultivation technique suddenly appeared in Ling Xi's mind! The Beginner's Guide to Spirit Gathering! Amazing! The immense surprise filled Ling Xi with joy!

Even though Gu Lingxi was well-informed in her previous life, what she was seeing was too fantastical. Even with her calm demeanor, she couldn't suppress the overwhelming joy in her heart.

Hahaha! Gu Lingxi excitedly ran to the edge of the spirit lake, scooped up a large mouthful of spirit spring water, and drank it. This spirit spring water is so sweet! After swallowing it, she felt incredibly comfortable, and a faint warmth quickly spread throughout her body. Could this be spiritual energy?!

Silently reciting the Elementary Spirit Gathering Technique, she watched the purple spiritual energy slowly gather in her palm, feeling the subtle changes within her body. A barely perceptible wisp of purple spiritual energy traveled from her dantian through her meridians, gradually improving each inch of her body. It then circulated through the meridians, slowly flowing back to her dantian, where it condensed into a cloud of purple mist! Is this what cultivation is? It's truly amazing!

I feel incredibly powerful right now! Just one sip of spiritual spring water! And the incantation has completed one cycle—the effect is amazing! If things continue like this, I can't even imagine how strong I'll become! A wide smile unconsciously spread across my face! Only when I'm strong can I protect what I want to protect, right? Only then can I be free and unrestrained, right?

I wonder what surprises I'll get after bathing in this water? I wonder if it will have a cleansing and strengthening effect? ​​Without further hesitation, I took off my clothes one by one and slowly stepped into the lake. The water wasn't deep, only up to my chest. I relaxed my whole body, lay back in the water, closed my eyes, and felt the changes in my body!

Ling Xi felt every pore on her body open rapidly, radiating waves of heat—it was incredibly hot! She frowned slightly. When she had cupped her hands to drink it earlier, the water had only felt cool and sweet! But now it truly felt like boiling water!

Waves of pain gave her the urge to jump up and run away! But reason told her she couldn't! She gritted her teeth and persevered, as waves of white mist swirled and filled the air, and all the meridians and bones in her body were expanding, transforming and solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye!

However, the feeling was far from pleasant. Her skin felt like it was being boiled, and every part of her body felt like it was being smashed and then reassembled with a heavy hammer. The pain made her break out in a cold sweat! She almost fainted, but she told herself not to pass out and to persevere!

In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to the training camp in her previous life, where every day after training, it felt as if her bones had been dismantled and reassembled! The pain was excruciating!

However, compared to the pain she was experiencing now, it was nothing! This pain was truly like every inch of her body being extracted and reassembled! If Gu Lingxi hadn't had such a strong will, she probably would have fainted!

About an hour later, the mist slowly dissipated, and Ling Xi slowly opened her eyes. The pain had disappeared, and she felt no discomfort at all! She felt full of energy and vitality, as if she had been reborn. She guessed that the white mist was just the impurities in her body!

Even before practicing this technique, she already felt as light as a swallow, as if she could fly on the wind. Truly living up to the sacred name of the spiritual spring water! It's truly amazing! Gu Lingxi couldn't help but marvel inwardly!
