âIâll visit the family again after the seventh day of the new year,â
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after a sumptuous lunch, Lin Wanqiu saw off Lin Yongâs family along with her grandparents, instructing them.
From the first day of the new year, everyone was to successively receive friends, colleagues, and relatives, fearing that they would be busy for a while.
A few kilometers outside the community, a sense of inexplicable relief washed over Lin Yongâs family.
âAh!
It hurts so muchâŠâ
Lin Yuanwang screamed miserably, feeling intense pain in his viscera and Divine Sense.
He collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, unable to even speak.
âXiaowang, whatâs wrong with you?
Youâre a cultivator in the later stages of Qi refining; who could harm you?â
The complexion of Lin Yong and his wife changed.
âWhatâs wrong with me?
It seems likeâŠâ
Lin Yuanwangâs eyes showed intense struggle as if something was trying to surface from the depths of his mind, followed by a terrifying premonition settling in his heart.
Instinctively, he didnât dare to remember any more, and his eyes gradually became vacant.
âItâs nothing.â
After thinking hard for a long time without recalling anything, he forced himself to say, âMom, dad, donât worry.
It might be a problem with my cultivation.
Letâs go to the hospital and see what the doctor says.â
âRight, right, to the hospital.â
Lin Yong calmed down as well, persuading his wife and parents to go home while he accompanied his son on the emergency helicopter that had flown over, carefully looking after him.
âBy the way, wasnât there something I needed to do before coming to my sisterâs place?â
He suddenly recalled something, then instantly forgot it again, âNever mind, I canât think about it now.
Xiaowangâs injury is more important.â
âŠ
After the guests had gone, Jiang Ding, along with his mother and sister, cleaned up the houseâwashing dishes, wiping the table, sweeping the floorâeverything was done by hand, sweating profusely.
âIs there an easier way to do this?â
Jiang Ding thought to himself, then took the mop from Jiang Yuanâs hand and began mopping the floor.
After the familyâs busy work was over, they gathered to watch television, still watching melodramatic soap operas.
Jiang Ding watched for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.
âŠ
Cooking for the family, sweeping the floor, taking relatives to school, watching TV with family members, going for walks, meeting new neighbors, attending the funerals of old neighbors.
Then, falling into a deep sleep in the room.
Days passed by, one after another, and half a year flew by.
Everything was normal.
No casualties, no abnormalities, no security incidents, nor did anyone feel that anything was amiss.
Until, three years later, on this day.
Two streams of Escape Light flew from the sky, one starry, and the other a mix of black and white, moving much faster than Foundation-building cultivators of the same level.
âJiang Ding has been away too long; Iâm somewhat uneasy,â
An Siyan adjusted her black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose and reconfirmed the location of the community on the map, âAlthough he has complete paperwork for each yearâs leave, he has never taken such a long leave before, and he didnât return for the start of the graduate school semester.
Even if thereâs an emergency at home, this seems too far-fetched.â
âYou feel the same premonition, donât you?â
âYes, the same,â
Jin Lingfengâs young face was serious, her silver hair swaying slightly, âThis is too abnormal.
I suspect that the Late Golden Core assassin from Xuanwu tiangong might have left some unfinished business, or even, that Divinity TransformationâŠâ
The Escape Light of the Foundation-building cultivators was fast, and soon, the two women arrived at the entrance of Fulin Community.
Entering the community and observing for a moment, they approached two old men playing chess.
âHello, grandpa,â
Jin Lingfeng gave a sweet smile, easily capturing the old menâs favor, and asked, âDo you know where Jiang Dingâs house isâŠ?â
Clang!
A faint sound of a swordâs chime suddenly appeared near her ear.
In a daze, she saw ancient trees rising from the ground, reaching into the sky, with the Azure Great Sun descending from above, settling amidst the tree shade, terrifying Breaking Law and Elimination Method intentions spreading, with a faint Killing intent descending.
The Azure Great Sun manifested within the Divine Soul, scorching, destroying, and even faint whiffs of moon-white misty breath infiltrating the Divine Soul, intending to change something.
âPfft!â
Jin Lingfeng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as if struck by lightning, her face as pale as paper.
âGo!â
âHeâs gone mad, Iâm going to die!â
She transformed into a stream of star-colored Escape Light, frantically fleeing towards the outside of the community.
An Siyanâs expression changed, her Divine Sense resting on the alarm button of the Array Spirit, not daring to say a word.
She followed behind, unfurling her own Escape Light and shielding against potential attacks that might appear around them.
âWhat kind of person was that just now?â
The two elderly men playing chess looked around in confusion, disregarding the blood as if it were nothing, and continued to focus on their game of chess.
Clack!
âCheck!â
Outside the community, two streams of Escape Light retreated over ten kilometers before finally coming to a stop.
âJiang Ding, somethingâs wrong with his state!â
Jin Lingfeng spoke in a rushed tone, âI donât know what triggered it, but his Sword Intent attacked me, and thereâs a power, a power invading my Divine SoulâŠ
Divine SoulâŠâ
Her words paused as confusion clouded her face.
ââŠDivine SoulâŠâ
ââŠWhat was I saying just now?â
Jin Lingfeng asked.
An Siyan felt a chill in her heart.
âDivine Soul, just now you were talking about a power invading your Divine Soul.â
âRight!
That Divine Sense power!â
Jin Lingfeng suddenly understood, âIt wants to alter my cognition, make meâŠ
meâŠ
why am I here?
We should be in class at the university right now.â
Once again, her expression turned blank, her instincts urging her to flee from the place.
âJiang DingâŠâ
An Siyan took a deep breath, hesitated no more, and pressed the emergency call button on her phone with her Divine Sense.
It was the highest level alert, aimed at the Central Array Spirit Computer, a statement of life-threatening danger.
âYou are reporting an emergency based on a threat to life, please noteâŠâ
The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer sounded, instantly connecting the call, foregoing the usual procedures.
ââŠâ
Silence.
âWhatâs wrong?â
An Siyanâs eyes widened, suspecting a problem with her phone; the Central Array Spirit Computer shouldnât be silent, it should be promptly addressing her emergency.
ââŠInternal DemonâŠâ
ââŠThe Internal Demon Tribulation of the sword cultivator prodigyâŠ
no external enemy invasion detected, no protocol found in the databaseâŠ
unable to breakout independentlyâŠ
has been reported to Immortal Dinghai at Qingfeng UniversityâŠ
please waitâŠâ
After a while, the Central Array Spirit Computerâs voice finally sounded.
âInternal Demon?â
An Siyan was taken aback.
To Qi practicing and foundation-building cultivators, it was a rare occurrence, almost impossible to encounter as their Divine Souls are too weak to manifest it.
Oftentimes, it arises during the transition from foundation building to Golden Pill.
Dozens of breaths later, the space became hazy, and a refined elderly man appeared before the two women.
His Divine Sense swept the area, and the details of everyone and everything within nearly a hundred kilometers appeared vividly in his mind.
Immortal Dinghai was taken aback.
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
ââŠThe Internal Demon Tribulation of homesickness, foolish child, every cultivator has to face the continuous departure of parents and loved ones.
This is our destined fate as cultivators, inescapable, a tribulation that will sooner or later come.â
âYou are too young, and your Divine Soul is too powerful, youâve encountered these inevitabilities too soon.â
