"In my opinion, Senior Sister Lu's talent is unmatched in the entire cultivation world. After all, I have never heard of a Golden Core cultivator who is under thirty years old."
Someone shook their head. "You guys are still too ignorant. The cultivation world is not as simple as you see it. I've heard that there are some hidden families in the cultivation world. Some of them have the power of divine beast bloodline, and they are born with cultivation. Their talents are also extremely terrifying."
...
After Lu Fuyue stepped into the fifth level, all she could see was darkness, without a trace of light, and she could not detect the presence of any demonic beasts.
Lu Fuyue immediately became alert, carefully observing the surrounding movements. The fifth level of the Trial Tower imprisoned some Golden Core peak demonic beasts, and the quieter it was, the more dangerous it was.
Lu Fuyue continued walking forward, but her hand under her sleeve was secretly circulating her internal energy, and a cluster of golden-red phoenix lotus divine fire appeared out of thin air in her palm.
But after walking for a while, she didn't encounter anything. A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. Could it be that there are no monsters here?
Suddenly, a mournful song began to play. Lu Fuyue stopped abruptly, her eyes gradually becoming vacant, as she slowly forgot some things.
"Sleep well, sleep well, my dear child. In your dreams, you will have a gentle mother, a doting father, and a childhood sweetheart. You will be very, very happy..."
"Sleep well, forget all your troubles, and in your dreams you will have everything you want: a healthy body, a loving family, and a loving partner."
...
Lu Fuyue's consciousness gradually blurred, as if she had entered another world. In her daze, someone called her, "Afu, Afu, wake up quickly, today is your wedding day with Wenjing."
Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes, looked at the gentle beauty before her, and couldn't help but call out, "Mother."
Feng Qing smiled and gently tapped her forehead. "You're all grown up now, why are you still acting like a child?"
"Today is your wedding day with Wenjing. You two have been betrothed since childhood, and now you have finally tied the knot. Are you happy, Afu?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. Was she happy?
She should be happy, after all, wasn't this her wish?
But why did she feel that something was wrong, even though everything was going exceptionally smoothly?
Lu Zhengming, dressed in a light blue coat, walked in and looked at Lu Fuyue with concern. "Afu, what's wrong? Did Wenjing bully you? If you don't want to get married, then don't. Your father will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Feng Qing also noticed that something was wrong with Lu Fuyue. She gently hugged her and patted her back. "Afu, as long as you are happy, whatever decision you make, your mother and father will support you unconditionally."
After a long while, Lu Fuyue, dressed in a red wedding gown, nestled in Feng Qing's arms, her eyes lowered, her emotions unreadable. "Mother, will you really support me?"
"Of course..."
Before Feng Qing could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed. She looked down at the dagger deeply embedded in her abdomen and asked incredulously, "A... Fu, why?"
"I...I am the mother..."
Lu Zhengming, equally shocked, pointed at her and roared, "Lu Fuyue, she gave birth to your mother! How could you kill her? Are you even human?"
Soon, a young man dressed in a wedding robe rushed in upon hearing the noise. He was completely stunned by the scene before him and murmured, "A-Fu, what have you done? Aunt Feng is your mother."
Behind him were many familiar faces, including the Law Enforcement Elder, Elder Dan, and most of the elders and disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.
These people pointed fingers at her and said she was heartless and cruel.
Lu Fuyue shoved away the dying Feng Qing beside her, stood up from the bed, and looked at everyone coldly, saying, "You think you can trap me in a mere dream? Dream on!"
After saying that, she raised her hand and summoned the Weak Water Zither. Then, she pressed her fingers hard on the strings, and the zither rang out. Countless ice crystals turned into blades and pierced towards Lu Zhengming and the young man in his wedding robes.
In an instant, all the illusions vanished, and Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes again, her gaze clear and bright.
She heard a very faint sound, and she moved her feet. The next second, she reached out and grabbed at the air. A scream rang out as she tightly gripped a small green insect in her hand.
Lu Fu looked down at the object in his hand. "So, you are the legendary Illusion Demon."
The phantom demon flapped its wings and immediately sensed the dangerous aura emanating from this person. It struggled violently and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me. I can acknowledge you as my master and help you enter your opponent's dream to kill him."
Lu Fuyue smiled. "Really?"
"Unfortunately, I don't need a contracted beast."
After saying that, a cluster of golden-red phoenix lotus divine fire appeared out of thin air in Lu Fuyue's hand. In no time, before the phantom demon could even scream, it was devoured by the divine fire and its soul was scattered.
Illusionary demons are extremely adept at arousing a person's inner desires. Although they possess the cultivation of the peak Golden Core stage, their actual strength is extremely weak, as they use all their abilities to construct illusions.
The exposure of desires has always been the most fatal flaw for cultivators, so even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage find it difficult to escape the magic of the Illusion Demon.
But Lu Fuyue was different. Not to mention that she had gone through so many tribulations that illusions had long lost their effect on her, she could immediately tell that something was wrong with the illusion created by the illusion demon.
After all, Lu Zhengming would never look at her with such affection, and she would never fall in love with anyone.
After Lu Fuyue dealt with the illusion demon, the small gray sword from before, gleaming with a hint of golden light, flew back in front of her.
She glanced up, but in her mind she was pondering the purpose of the small sword, as well as the purpose of the two people behind her.
With this sword strike, the two men followed her at a leisurely pace.
Who would believe that he had no ulterior motives towards her?
In short, it's all troublesome.
However, at that moment, the small sword suddenly pierced into Lu Fuyue's right wrist. A burning sensation caused her expression to change slightly. When Lu Fuyue raised her hand, she saw the mark of the small gray sword on her wrist.
Lu Fuyue circulated her cultivation technique, trying to force it out with her spiritual power, but after a long time, the gray mark remained unmoved.
After a long while, she sighed helplessly. Although this thing did not have any ill intentions towards her, she did not want to get involved with it.
Firstly, because she is a sound cultivator, swords are of little use to her. Secondly, because their origin and purpose are unknown, she may not be afraid of trouble, but she dislikes trouble.
This thing is clearly not an ordinary item; it would do her more harm than good, and it's not worth her time at all.
But unexpectedly, this thing seems to have become attached to her.
