Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The voice left the young woman unsure.
The sword had already appeared in her hand, but her mother wouldnât let go of her.
âDonât be angry⊠Donât think about revenge. Itâll only destroy you,â said the old woman.
The young woman looked down at the bloodstained face of her mother.
âListen to me, my daughter. Your father and I have lived for a long time. Our only wish is to see you grow. Hatred will make you lose your humanity. Itâll become a hurdle in your path of knowledge,â said the old woman as her pale face regained its radiance.
It was as though life had returned to her body.
âPromise me,â said the old woman as she held onto her tightly. âYou disappointed your parents,â said the voice again.
The young woman found herself in a dilemma.
âItâs alright. Donât be rash. Iâll watch over you, my daughter. Your father and IâŠ
weâll be there for you⊠always. Everything will be fine,â said the old woman tenderly.
The young woman looked at her parents. Her anger was replaced by tears. It streamed down her face.
She put down the sword in her hand and hugged her mother tightly. âMotherâŠâ
She sobbed. âI forgot⊠I forgot so many things. I never go against your words. I have always listened to you. I have never done things in hatred or spite. Iâll continue to do what you have taught me. Mother, Father, I miss you so muchâŠâ
âItâs okay. We are always with you,â said the old woman and patted her on the shoulders. âRemember⊠study well. Donât forget to eat on time. And donât ever let anyone bully you.â
âI will. Donât worry. Nobody bullies me, I promise,â said the young woman and cried.
âHow are your studies?â asked the woman gently.
âItâs good. Iâm going to be an immortal soon.â
âImmortal?â The old woman paled. âLike those mighty immortals who wreaked havoc here?â
âNo.â The young woman looked at her mother. âIâll never be like them. Iâll still be me. I still am the same young woman who wanted to protect and shield you.
Iâll stay here and protect this place. An ordinary immortalâŠâ
âSilly girl, you shouldnât stay here. You should go out. You belong to the vast world outside.â
The young woman shook her head. âI donât want to. I never wanted to become an immortal in the eyes of the world. I studied and entered the academy just to become an immortal for our family. I wanted to become stronger for you and Father. I donât need anyoneâs approval. I just wanted to be here and protect you⊠keep you safe.â
At that moment, the old womanâs face turned pale. She looked at her daughter.
âIs it difficult to become an immortal?â
âYes.â
âThen, your father and I, weâll help you. Weâll help you get there.â
Then, she closed her eyes.
In the next moment, her body began to disperse. It turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky.
At the same time, the middle-aged man beside her also turned into a beam of light. She could feel a hand patting her head.
After that, they both rushed toward the sky.
They dispelled the darkness and illuminated a path leading to the heavens.
At the edge of the path, there was a faint light. It prevented the darkness from engulfing everything.
The young woman stood up and looked toward the sky. At that moment, the ground beneath her feet shattered, and a new path was forged to immortality.
âHow is this possible? What about your inner demon?!â Someone exclaimed in the dark. âAre you really going to watch your parents die? Donât you care about them? Donât you regret it?â
The young woman looked up at the two beams of light. âHow could my parents harm me? They loved me the most. You only see some things and twist them. You donât see how they sacrificed for me, so I would be a better person. They raised me well. You donât understand what a parentâs love feels like. But I forgot so much⊠so much. The more I listen to you, the deeper I sink into the abyss. But my mother saw everything.â
The young woman smiled and stepped forward.
At that moment, the world changed, and a dazzling light enveloped everything.
âI can accept everything about myself⊠be it good or evil. I donât care if I am admired or despised⊠I can accept it all. For me, this is who I am, and thereâs no use in escaping myself. The only thing I was worried about was my parentsâ scolding.â
Every step the young woman took rejuvenated the earth. She seemed to have found peace. âBut they didnât scold me⊠not at all.â In an instant, the scene changed. Time flowed rapidly.
The village was rebuilt, and the young woman walked to the grave.
It was the grave of her parents.
She leaned down and cleared away some weeds. She then lit some incense.
She opened her mouth to say something but couldnât find the words.
Tears streamed down her face.
Things changed and people changed. Nothing lasted.
Jiang Hao watched all this.
âFather, Mother, Iâm leaving,â said the young woman with a smile.
After that, she stepped into the sky. She walked toward immortality.
âThat is not possible. How did you do it?â said a voice from the shadows.
Jing Dajiang sighed. âShe has never really dug deeper into her emotions. It seems she has done it now.â
âHas she really let go of her hatred?â Jiang Hao asked curiously.
âLet go?â Jing Dajiang shook his head with a smile. âIf she had done that, she wouldnât have come here.â
Jiang Hao was surprised.
âI asked around. When her parents were killed, she was taken over by her inner demon. When the people from the academy found her, she was covered in wounds and drenched in blood,â Jing Dajiang said. âAfter that, they found out that this young woman had gone crazy. Fueled by hatred, she killed all the demonic sect members around her. She had even managed to kill Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators around her. It is said that the sky was filled with blood and a strong killing intent as if someone had entered the path of slaughter. Not a single demonic sect cultivator was spared. That would mean the end for her.
But somehow, she was found at her parentsâ grave the next day. She forgot everything when she woke up. She only remembered that she had obeyed her mother and let go of her hatred. But the seed of the inner demon still remained in her heart, and once there was an opportunity to become an immortal, the heart demon would take root and sprout.â
Jiang Hao was surprised.
âHow did she do it?â
It was somewhat extraordinary that she had forgotten everything, especially since she had also forgotten about becoming an immortal.
The inner demon was suppressed until the end. It was incredible.
âThere are two explanations. One, she is extraordinary. Two, a powerful figure must have passed by and couldnât bear to see her suffer, so they helped her out,â Jing Dajiang said..
