Just as Chen Yang was taking his daughter out for a trip.

On the other side.

On the banks of a small river.

Chen Yang's third ungrateful female disciple, Lin Xuan'er.

She was sitting by the river, gazing at the distant horizon with a dejected expression.

"It's too difficult, really too difficult."

"I just want to cultivate to the Spirit Sea Realm and force out the Gu poison in my body, why is it so difficult..."

Lin Xuan'er muttered to herself, unable to hold back her painful tears.

She has been a wandering nun for five or six years.

Over the years, she has never dared to slack off in order to expel the Gu poison from her body, and has been desperately repairing the chain.

In order to obtain resources for repairing the chain, she traveled far and wide, enduring wind and rain, living a nomadic life, searching everywhere for various spiritual herbs and rare treasures...

But after so many years of cultivating her spiritual energy, she has only reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

Reaching the Spirit Sea Realm and being able to expel the Gu poison on one's own is still a long way off...

At this moment, Lin Xuan'er felt it was really too difficult.

Looking back on these years, she suffered daily torment from the Heart-Eating Gu, each day a living hell...

A wave of despair washed over her.

She'd had enough of this living hell; when would it end?

Right now, she really can't see any hope at all...

Her goal of cultivating to the Spirit Sea Realm on her own and then expelling the Gu poison from her body was simply too far-fetched.

I'm afraid she'll die of old age one day before she's even reached the Spirit Sea Realm, and the Gu poison in her body will still be unresolved...

"At this rate of cultivation, I'm afraid I'll never reach the Spirit Sea Realm, and I'll never be able to expel the Heart-Eating Gu from my body..."

"Not to mention becoming a prodigy again, like in my previous life, and eventually becoming an emperor!"

Recalling his past life, he was a great emperor whose name resounded throughout the eight wastelands.

A strong sense of resentment welled up in Lin Xuan'er's heart.

She was unwilling to spend her entire life tormented by the Heart-Eating Gu, unwilling to be a rogue cultivator who could be bullied by everyone...

She even wanted to force out the poison!

She still wants to become a prodigy!

She wanted to be the emperor!

"But relying on myself, I want to expel the poison, become a prodigy, and cultivate to the Great Emperor realm..."

"It can never be like this in this lifetime."

At this moment, Lin Xuan'er finally faced reality.

Having been a wandering cultivator for so many years, I've suffered so much...

Now she understands completely.

She alone cannot force out the poison, become a prodigy, and ultimately become an emperor!

Absolutely impossible!!!

Even if she keeps desperately repairing the chain, she will not be able to expel the poison from her body, let alone become an emperor!

"No! I can't go on like this anymore."

"I need to find Chen Yang. Only Chen Yang can help me expel the Gu poison, only he can help me become a prodigy again, and only he can help me cultivate to become a Great Emperor!"

"If I continue to be a rogue cultivator, even if I die of old age one day, I will not be able to change my fate."

"Only he, only he in this world can help me, only he can change my destiny!"

"I need to go find him; I can't waste any more time!"

At this moment, Lin Xuan'er finally understood.

In this world, only Chen Yang can help her...

Without Chen Yang, she would never have been able to escape the Heart-Eating Gu, even if she grew old and died...

He will never become an emperor!

Lin Xuan'er finally understood herself.

She made up her mind; she was going to find Chen Yang...

In this world, only Chen Yang can help her!

"This time, I will definitely beg Chen Yang for forgiveness. No matter how much he hits or scolds me, I won't leave. I will keep begging him until he forgives me and is willing to help me..."

"Without him, I would have been a rogue cultivator forever, tormented by the Heart-Eating Gu until I died..."

Lin Xuan'er immediately stood up from the ground.

She wiped away her tears.

She made her decision.

She was going to the Heavenly Sword Sect to find Chen Yang.

In this world, only Chen Yang can help her...

If Chen Yang doesn't help her, her life will be completely over...

And so, Lin Xuan'er stepped away from the stream and headed towards the Heavenly Sword Sect...
