Amidst a sky-filling display of fireworks, Jiang Qingwan closed her eyes, recalling various events.
In my previous life, I was betrayed by my family.
In this life, I will have to face an incredibly powerful enemy.
Is so-called rebirth just another chance given by God to survive, and can it not change anything?
No. That's not how it works.
At least I've figured out the reason for the apocalypse this time, and I'm only one step away.
Jiang Qingwan suddenly opened her eyes.
The spiritual energy in her dantian surged out continuously, and the transparent spiritual energy wove together to form an ice crystal lotus, enveloping Jiang Qingwan within it.
The inner demon watched coldly from the sidelines, planning to take over Jiang Qingwan's body once the flames had burned out.
The time has come; the fire has been extinguished.
The flames were nothingness, and the inner demon laughed wildly, "Cowardly humans, let this demon walk the world in your place!"
Little did she know, a small flame had appeared behind her. Though faint, its dark red color hinted at its extraordinary nature.
Jiang Qingwan broke through the spatial limitations, teleported behind the inner demon, and gently tossed a flame.
The inner demons began to crumble, and the areas scorched by the flames broke apart into shards of glass.
The inner demon turned around in astonishment, his pupils dilating, and exclaimed in shock, "You, how are you not dead? This is impossible."
Jiang Qingwan smiled gently, looking at the inner demon who had no backup plan, and said, "Have you ever heard of Nirvana Rebirth?"
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
"You're very capable and perceptive. But as long as I'm determined, even if the road ahead is difficult, as long as there's a path, why not give it a shot?"
The inner demon was still making its last struggle, using seductive words: "There is no way in the face of absolute power. The extraterrestrial demons are more powerful than you can imagine."
Jiang Qingwan clapped her hands: "Well said! But so what if there's no road? Then I'll be the first one."
The inner demon: "You're the first one, yet no one knows how much you've sacrificed, and your family even wants to harm you—"
The inner demon didn't even have time to finish its last sentence before it vanished completely, leaving behind only a black, crystal-like object in place.
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Qingwan's lips. She bent down to pick up the black crystal and tossed it in her palm: "Mentioning my family will only hasten your death."
Jiang Qingwan threw the black crystal into the spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring instantly turned pitch black, but the black color of the crystals slowly faded away.
Jiang Qingwan observed the spring for a while and, finding nothing unusual, went into the study.
As soon as she stepped into the study, Jin Yaojian immediately came to greet her and circled around Jiang Qingwan.
Jin Yaojian said happily, "Oh, you've gotten rid of your inner demons. That's great! I haven't become a demon sword."
"Woman, I'm starting to have a newfound respect for you."
Jiang Qingwan slapped him hard, and Jin Yaojian cried out, "Ouch! Why did you hit me? Wasn't it enough that you beat up my inner demon? Now you have to hit my adorable Jianjian too? You have no heart!"
Jiang Qingwan rolled her eyes. "Speak properly."
Jin Yaojian said, feeling wronged, "You've always told me to speak properly. I don't think there's anything wrong with what I've said."
Jiang Qingwan: "Forget it. I won't argue with you over a sword. Besides feeding you crystals, what other ways are there to make you stronger?"
Jin Yaojian thought for a moment and replied, "No. Oh, right, if you become stronger, I will also become a little stronger. But your current strength is not enough."
"I'll go absorb the evolved Heart Demon Crystal later, and then see how much of a chance we have against the extraterrestrial demons," Jiang Qingwan said, gazing at the spiritual spring outside the window.
Jin Yaojian said dejectedly, "Maybe it can be improved just a little bit."
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water came from outside, striking a chord in Jiang Qingwan's heart.
Jiang Qingwan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly ran outside to check.
The black demonic crystal had turned white and lay at the bottom of the spring, with all the spring water swirling and rushing into it.
Jiang Qingwan tentatively used her spiritual power to retrieve the Heart Demon Crystal.
However, as soon as the spiritual energy touched the spiritual spring, it was deflected back by a barrier that appeared out of nowhere.
Jiang Qingwan stamped her feet anxiously, frantically trying to infuse spiritual energy into the area from various angles.
If this trend continues, all the spiritual springs will likely be completely absorbed by the crystals.
Jiang Qingwan dared not gamble on the consequences of this matter.
I somewhat regret having placed too much faith in the omnipotence of the spiritual spring, believing it could purify the crystallized inner demons.
Sigh. What a mess this is.
