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

Dai Yao and Ling Yun followed the Lingxiao Immortal into a misty space where the rich spiritual energy was almost tangible, making it easy to breathe.

"Wow, so ethereal! It feels like I'm about to ascend to immortality!" Dai Yao exclaimed dramatically, taking a deep breath and making a few teasing remarks.

Lingyun chuckled softly. This hidden challenge seemed even more mysterious than the previous trials.

Their mission is to find the last mysterious key to unlock the Land of Heritage.

This space may seem small, but it is actually full of hidden secrets. It is filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals, which are dazzling, but it is also full of eeriness.

"Yaoyao, be careful, something feels off here." Lingyun felt that something was wrong.

Dai Yao nodded and was about to release her divine sense to investigate when suddenly, space distorted and the familiar, annoying Xinghua reappeared!

"Oh, isn't this our Holy Maiden of the Demon Palace? What a coincidence!" Xinghua said sarcastically, a disgusting fake smile on her face.

"Why are you everywhere? Are you some kind of leech?" Dai Yao retorted without any politeness.

"Hmph, this time it won't be so easy for you to get through!" Xinghua snorted coldly, her hands quickly forming hand seals, and the surrounding environment instantly became eerie, the originally beautiful scenery twisted and deformed, as if she had entered another dimension.

Dai Yao knew in her heart that something was wrong; Xinghua had indeed set up an ambush here!

The surrounding scenery kept changing, and it was hard to distinguish east from west, south from north. She felt as if she had fallen into a giant kaleidoscope, dazzled and disoriented.

"Tsk, what kind of crazy formation is this? It's even more complicated than my Wi-Fi password!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain, while secretly activating her special ability to sense the direction of the flow of Qi.

In the midst of chaos, she caught a faint glimpse of fortune, like a lifeline in a vast ocean.

"Found it!" Dai Yao was overjoyed and carefully moved forward following the wisp of aura.

She skillfully avoided one trap after another, sometimes dodging left and sometimes darting right, like a nimble butterfly flitting among the flowers.

Xinghua observed Dai Yao's actions from the side, a contemptuous smile on her face.

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, yet you dare to show off your limited abilities before an expert!" He thought Dai Yao would try to break the formation with brute force as before, but he didn't expect... "This woman, how..." Xinghua's voice stopped abruptly.

Xinghua watched helplessly as Dai Yao not only wasn't trapped, but moved freely through the formation he had carefully set up, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

What made him even more furious was that this woman was also "casually" harvesting the treasures he had hidden in the trap!

Those were his most treasured possessions!

"How did she find out?!" Xinghua stared wide-eyed in disbelief, feeling as if her intelligence had been greatly insulted.

Did this woman gain supernatural insight?

!

In reality, Dai Yao didn't actually have a third eye; she simply made full use of her golden finger, which allowed her to perceive the direction of the flow of Qi.

Xinghua's original intention in setting the trap was to trap her and steal her fortune.

However, thanks to Dai Yao's special abilities, these traps became guiding lights, leading her to a place with even greater fortune—the place where Xinghua hides its treasures.

As Dai Yao walked, she browsed the online marketplace, occasionally exclaiming, "Wow, this little thing is nice!" or "Oh my, this treasure is so exquisite!" Her tone made it seem like she was at a high-end auction!

Xinghua was furious as she watched her precious items disappear one by one.

He originally planned to wait until Dai Yao was trapped before making a move, but now it seems that if he doesn't act soon, this woman will drain all his savings!

Enraged, Xinghua disregarded the trap's effects and was about to launch a forceful attack on Dai Yao when she suddenly noticed the ground beneath her feet beginning to shift... "What's going on?!"

Enraged, Xinghua stared intently at Dai Yao with his bloodshot eyes, completely forgetting about any traps or plans.

He refused to believe that he, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, couldn't handle a mere brat!

He gritted his teeth and unleashed his natal magic weapon—a long sword gleaming with cold light—straight towards Dai Yao.

"Oh my god, it's for real!" Dai Yao exclaimed dramatically, but her steps remained perfectly steady.

She nimbly dodged Xinghua's attack, and at the same time, a sly smile appeared on her lips. With a light tap of her finger, she activated the power of the surrounding restrictions, deflecting Xinghua's attack back.

"What's this called? An eye for an eye! Understand?"

Caught off guard, Xinghua was struck by his own attack, staggered back a few steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft—" The surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded. This was too amazing!

Fight magic with magic?

That was absolutely brilliant!

"Yao Yao! You're amazing!" Ling Feng saw this scene from afar and waved his arms excitedly, like a giant human rocking drum, wishing he could rush over and give Dai Yao a loving hug.

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, Dai Yao felt a warmth in her heart. She turned around and smiled, her beauty captivating.

Xinghua clutched his chest, his face deathly pale. He never imagined that he would be outmaneuvered by his own actions.

This woman is no ordinary person!

He stared at Dai Yao with a sinister look in his eyes, his heart filled with resentment and bitterness.

Dai Yao clapped her hands, looking relaxed and carefree.

"Oh dear, warm-up over! Now, it's time to get down to business!" She turned her gaze forward, where a rune emitting a faint golden light was faintly visible; it was the entrance to the final key.

Dai Yao took a deep breath and stepped forward. Just as her fingertips were about to touch the runes, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out: "Wait."

Dai Yao paused and turned to look at the source of the sound.

A woman dressed in a light blue dress stood in mid-air, her clothes fluttering, like a celestial being descended to earth.

The woman had a beautiful face and an ethereal air, yet her brows carried a subtle hint of aloofness.

"Who are you? Trying to steal the keys too?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly mocking.

The woman scoffed, "The key was never owned, so how can you say it was 'robbed'? I just wanted to remind you that there are many dangers ahead, so you'd better think twice before you act."

Dai Yao sneered inwardly. This woman's words were more eloquent than her actions; she was probably planning to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

She wouldn't believe that nonsense!

"Thanks for the reminder, but the word 'backward' doesn't exist in my dictionary." Dai Yao said, and then continued forward.

"If you insist on this, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Seeing that Dai Yao wouldn't listen to her advice, the woman's face darkened, and she conjured an icy blue sword aura in her hand, heading straight for Dai Yao.

Dai Yao was prepared and dodged the attack with a flash, while simultaneously summoning her magical artifact—a uniquely shaped folding fan.

"It's only polite to retaliate, so take this!"

The two of them were going back and forth, fighting fiercely.

Dai Yao appeared relaxed and carefree, but in reality, she was secretly observing her surroundings, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of something unusual out of the corner of her eye.

Not far away, Xinghua was sneaking closer, holding a black bead in her hand that exuded an eerie aura.

"Not good!" Dai Yao thought to herself. Xinghua was trying to take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack!

She immediately changed tactics, feigning defeat and retreating step by step, leading the woman to the vicinity of Xinghua.

"Now!" Dai Yao thought to herself, and suddenly unleashed a powerful force that sent the woman back several steps.

At the same time, Xinghua also launched an attack, the black bead transforming into a beam of black light and striking towards Dai Yao.

"A mere trick!" Dai Yao sneered, and with a flick of her folding fan, a golden light flashed, shattering the black light.

When Xinghua realized his sneak attack had failed, he turned to run away, but the woman blocked his way.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

While the woman and Xinghua were locked in combat, Dai Yao seized the opportunity to approach the rune and reach out to touch it.

The runes shone brightly, enveloping her and causing her to disappear.

When Dai Yao reappeared, she had arrived in a new space.

There was no one there, only an altar radiating golden light, on which lay three keys.

Dai Yao placed the key she found on it, and the three keys merged into one, emitting a dazzling light and breaking through the final barrier of the hidden level.

"Finally..." Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief, just about to celebrate, when suddenly a voice rang in her ear: "Congratulations on passing the test, but..."
