Transmigrated into the villain? Watch my epic comeback in the ethereal fairy realm!

The place where the immortal destiny begins is filled with spiritual energy and radiant light, resembling a fairyland.

However, this beautiful scene conceals a deadly danger.

The immense spiritual pressure was like a mountain pressing down, making it difficult for cultivators who stepped into this place to move forward.

Dai Yao was no exception, but she gritted her teeth and persevered under the pressure, moving forward step by step.

"Tch, that's all? It's nothing special~" she muttered casually, but inside she was panicking.

Some of the surrounding cultivators looked troubled, some tried to remain calm, and many more had shifty eyes as they sized up their "competitors" and plotted how to win in this battle for immortal destiny.

The air was filled with tension, like a taut string that could break at any time.

The Lingxiao Immortal, who presided over the test, had white hair and a youthful face, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. He spoke slowly, his voice resounding like a great bell throughout heaven and earth: "This is a test of immortal destiny. You must pass through numerous trials before you can obtain the final opportunity. The rules are as follows..."

Before Lingxiao Immortal could finish speaking, a sarcastic voice interrupted: "Lingxiao Immortal, I feel that these rules are not perfect enough. Why not add another one..." The speaker was Xinghua, who had a fake smile on his face, but his eyes were flashing with sinister light.

He proposed a series of additional rules targeting Dai Yao, such as restricting the use of certain spells and increasing the difficulty level, clearly intending to make things difficult for her.

Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, sneering inwardly, "Trying to mess with me? You're still too green!" She calmly pointed out that the rules proposed by Xinghua conflicted with the original rules, and cleverly used the loopholes in the rules to turn the tables on Xinghua, making him fall into the trap he had dug himself.

"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Xinghua, you came up with these rules yourself, how come you broke them first?" Dai Yao covered her mouth in feigned surprise, and the surrounding cultivators burst into laughter. Xinghua was so angry that his face turned red and white, but he was speechless.

Just then, Dai Yao suddenly felt someone tugging at her sleeve.

She turned her head and saw Ling Feng looking at her with deep affection...

"Yao Yao..."

"Yaoyao, are you alright? That kid Xinghua went too far just now, daring to target you! Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you!" Ling Feng said with deep affection, as if he wanted to tear his heart out for Dai Yao to see.

His burning gaze seemed to melt Dai Yao.

Dai Yao subtly shifted to the side, chuckling dryly, "Hehe, thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Ling Feng, I'm fine. This little trick is no match for me." (Inner monologue: Brother, we're not even acquainted!)

Can you please not be so enthusiastic? It's kind of awkward!

I can't handle this chaotic situation!

This scene, however, made the movie star very unhappy.

He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the trial of immortal destiny to get close to Dai Yao and find out her secrets, but Ling Feng's sudden attentiveness completely disrupted his plans.

He snorted coldly and said in a strange tone, "Fellow Daoist Ling Feng is really chivalrous. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were close friends!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately became furious: "What's it to you! What happens between Yao Yao and me is none of your business!"

"How is this none of my business? You're getting in the way and wasting everyone's time, shouldn't I be responsible for that?" the movie star retorted without backing down.

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and they looked like they were about to fight.

Dai Yao sighed, speechless: What is all this nonsense?!

Can we take care of the important business first?

Just then, Dai Yao suddenly felt a strange fluctuation, the feeling of flowing energy!

She focused her mind and followed the ripples, discovering a faint light emanating from an inconspicuous stone not far ahead.

"Found it!" Dai Yao was overjoyed and walked towards the stone without making a sound.

The other cultivators were still struggling with the numerous obstacles in the initial stage and had no idea what Dai Yao was doing.

"Hey, look, what's that?" Lingyun asked, pointing in Dai Yao's direction.

Following her finger, everyone saw that Dai Yao had walked to the stone and gently pressed it.

hum-

A dazzling light flashed, the runes on the stone lit up, and a path leading into the depths appeared before them.

"How...how did she know?" Xinghua's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Dai Yao turned around, smiled slightly at everyone, and said, "I'm going first, bye-bye~" Then, without looking back, she walked into the road and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The movie star's face darkened, his fists clenched: "Damn it! She beat me to it!"

"Let's catch up quickly!" Ling Feng said, and started to chase after them.

"Wait!" The movie star stopped him. "What do you want to do?"

Ling Feng impatiently pushed his hand away: "Of course I'm going to chase after Yao Yao! Do you want her to monopolize the immortal destiny all by herself?"

"Immortal opportunities aren't so easy to obtain..." the movie star said meaningfully, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "This first trial is called—the Myriad Spirits Devouring Soul Array." Dai Yao stepped into the passage, and the scene before her eyes changed abruptly.

The once ethereal and blessed land was instantly transformed into a gloomy and terrifying swamp.

Miasma filled the air, will-o'-the-wisps flickered, and mournful wails echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"The Soul-Devouring Array of Ten Thousand Spirits? Just the name sounds ominous..." Dai Yao muttered, but her heart remained completely unmoved.

As a 21st-century online novel enthusiast, what kind of big scenes hasn't she seen?

What can a mere formation do to me?

She activated her "golden finger," sensing the flow of energy around her and easily avoiding one deadly trap after another.

Before the venomous insects and ferocious beasts lurking in the swamp could even get close, they were all intimidated by the powerful aura she exuded and retreated.

Xinghua followed closely behind, and seeing how relaxed Dai Yao was, her jealousy burned even brighter.

He secretly made a hand seal, manipulating the spiritual energy trap hidden in the swamp, and launched it towards Dai Yao.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so smug!"

Dai Yao noticed the commotion behind her and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

You little punk, trying to play dirty tricks on me?

I've done this before!

Instead of dodging, she sped up and ran towards Xinghua.

Xinghua was overjoyed upon seeing this, thinking that Dai Yao had fallen for his trick, and increased his spiritual energy output.

"Boom!" The trap was triggered, and a huge crater was blown open in the swamp, splashing mud everywhere.

However, Dai Yao was no longer there.

She cleverly used the flow of luck to redirect the trap's attack towards Xinghua.

"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Xinghua, watch your step!" Dai Yao "kindly" reminded him.

Xinghua couldn't dodge in time and was sprayed with mud, leaving her in a sorry state.

“Dai Yao! You…” he roared angrily.

The surrounding cultivators gasped in amazement upon seeing this.

"Holy crap! That was amazing!" "Reverse attack, so cool!" "This girl's got some skills!"

Xinghua's face turned pale and then red, and her hatred for Dai Yao deepened.

Just then, Dai Yao sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy—it was…his aura!

A warm current surged through Dai Yao's heart, and she felt full of energy.

He knew that he had been silently protecting her, which strengthened her resolve to pass the test.

Dai Yao successfully passed the initial level, and a misty area appeared before her.

Deep within the mist, something seemed to be calling to her.

"An illusion..." Dai Yao murmured to herself, a glint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

“Yao’er…” A deep voice rang out in the mist, carrying a hint of longing that was hard to conceal.

Beyond the swamp, thick fog surged forth, like a giant white wall, completely obscuring the path ahead.

Dai Yao took a deep breath. This illusion was indeed as good as its reputation. There was a sense of "something going to happen" in the air.

"Tsk tsk, is this a system update that added a new content expansion pack (DLC)?" Dai Yao complained as she activated her cheat system and sensed the flow of luck.

In the mist, the trajectory of destiny becomes blurred, like a tangled mess, making it difficult to grasp.

“Interesting.” Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. This illusion seemed to be more troublesome than she had imagined.

Just then, a gentle, warm voice rang in her ear: "Yao'er, you've come."

Dai Yao: !

!

!

Wait, that voice... Could it be the male lead?

You're here so early?

Are you serious, Mr. Plot?

Before she could react, a figure slowly emerged from the mist.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with a handsome and refined appearance. He was none other than Ling Feng, the male lead she had never had a chance to officially meet since she transmigrated into the book.

"Yao'er, I knew you would come." Ling Feng looked at her with deep affection, his eyes almost overflowing with tenderness. "For you, I am willing to give everything."

Dai Yao's inner monologue: Big brother, although I know you're the male lead, I'm the villain now!

You're making me really nervous, okay?

However, on the surface, she maintained her villainous persona, nodding with feigned aloofness: "What are you doing here?"

Ling Feng smiled slightly: "Naturally, I'm here to lend you a hand. This illusion is extremely dangerous, and I know you can't handle it alone."

"Heh," Dai Yao sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Ling Feng's kindness, but I prefer to challenge myself alone." Only by venturing into the illusionary realm alone can one have a chance to reap the benefits, bro!

If you follow me, how can I be myself?

Ling Feng wanted to say something, but Dai Yao interrupted him: "I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but you should take care of yourself first." After saying that, she stepped into the mist without looking back.

“Yao’er…” Ling Feng gazed at her retreating figure, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

As soon as Dai Yao stepped into the mist, she felt a powerful illusionary force envelop her... "This feeling is a bit intoxicating..."
