Before she could react, an immense pressure descended upon her, rendering her immobile. Immediately, the spiritual energy within her body rapidly dissipated, and her cultivation level steadily declined.
"Senior, no!"
Lu Fuyue's face turned pale instantly, but she was powerless to fight back.
Qi Refining Level 10, Level 8... Qi Refining Level 1... until she had no cultivation left.
Because she was not expected to live past sixteen, even though she possessed a top-grade water spiritual root, no one taught her how to cultivate.
However, she was not willing to give up, so she secretly taught herself.
Unexpectedly, her cultivation speed was even faster than Mo Qianci, who had a top-grade wind spirit root.
But now that she has lost her cultivation, how is she going to leave this place and survive?
At the same time, a guqin flew out of Lu Fuyue's body and stopped in front of the red-clad beauty in an instant.
Looking at the Weak Water Zither, which now only had two strings and whose grade had been downgraded from divine to top-grade spiritual artifact, Hongye's eyes flashed with a complex emotion.
This zither is the most desired weapon among their music cultivators, bar none.
Lu Fuyue had lost all her cultivation and collapsed to the ground in a daze, her breath growing weaker and weaker.
She smiled bitterly, never expecting that she would die again after just being reborn.
No, she doesn't want to die, she wants to live!
Lu Fuyue gripped the stone on the ground tightly, her ten fingers bleeding from cuts. She bit her lip and began to cultivate again from the beginning.
Unfortunately, this place has little spiritual energy, and coupled with the fact that she had just dispersed her cultivation, her dantian was fragile.
So, to her dismay, a mouthful of blood spilled from her mouth.
No, we can't give up, we can't rush things!
Why should she become a puppet without self-awareness, revolving around Mo Qianci from birth to death, just because of a book?
I rejoice for him, I am angry for him, I grieve for him, I am sorrowful for him.
Since fate has decreed that she should become a cannon fodder white moonlight for Mo Qianci on her path to becoming the male lead.
So, if she kills him, will the plot of this book fall apart, and will she be able to control her own destiny?
Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well give it a try.
Hongye looked at the little girl in front of her and saw that all the spiritual energy in the endless abyss had been gathered here, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
She truly deserves to be the chosen master of the Weak Water Harp.
A natural-born sound engineer.
Unexpectedly, just as her remnant soul was about to dissipate, she was able to encounter a top-grade spiritual root.
"Cultivating immortality is about cultivating one's understanding and perception of the Dao of Heaven."
"Every cultivator must find and comprehend their own path in order to go further and further on this great path of cultivation."
"Little girl, then what is your path?"
Lu Fuyue paused.
Her path?
All her cultivation was discovered through her own exploration; no one had ever told her what the Dao was.
Lu Fuyue was confused.
The spiritual energy surrounding her gradually faded, and Lu Fuyue slowly got up from the ground and sat down. Her original white clothes were now stained with blood.
The dim light shone on her thick eyelashes, casting streaks of shadow.
From the moment she was born, everyone treated her with pity, especially after she was found to have an exceptional spiritual root by a twist of fate when she was five years old, their pity for her reached its peak.
They say she is a genius that comes along only once in a millennium.
As long as they don't perish along the way, they will surely have a place in the cultivation world in the future.
It's just a pity that she didn't live past sixteen.
There is no need to nurture someone who is destined to die young, even if they are a genius.
Her father pitied her because her mother had taken a blow for him when she was pregnant with her.
That blow caused her to give birth prematurely, and it was destined that she wouldn't live long even while she was still in her mother's womb.
Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her.
Before she died, her mother found her a piece of water spirit jade that could nourish her body. Therefore, apart from coughing up blood from time to time and having a pale face, she looked no different from an ordinary person.
However, the water spirit jade that was originally worn around her neck was taken away by Qi Yuan, the demonic cultivator who threw her off the Cliff of Limitless.
This is also mentioned in that book.
The book says that the demonic cultivator Qi Yuan is a devoted admirer of the female protagonist Bai Lianlian, who is deeply in love with her. However, Bai Lianlian already has someone she likes.
So he deliberately brought her and Bai Lianlian to the Cliff of Boundless to let Mo Qianci choose between them, so that Bai Lianlian could see clearly who Mo Qianci truly loved.
He just didn't expect that Mo Qianci would actually give up his childhood sweetheart and his fiancée, and instead choose his junior sister whom he had only known for less than a year.
This also allowed the male and female protagonists to see each other's true feelings.
What Lu Fuyue found most unacceptable was that Bai Lianlian was actually the illegitimate daughter of her father and a mortal furnace.
But Bai Lianlian was only a few months younger than her.
This means that he had an affair with that mortal while his mother was pregnant with her.
No wonder he always protected Bai Lianlian; it turns out she was his illegitimate daughter.
Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes. Her Dao?
Her path is to sever all disgusting emotions, break free from the cannon fodder fate arranged for her by the Heavenly Dao, and live out her true self—the Path of Ruthlessness!
Countless streams of spiritual energy surged from the top of the Boundless Cliff, forming one enormous spiritual energy shield after another, tightly enveloping her layer upon layer.
The red leaves were almost invisible, nearly translucent.
"This is... an epiphany."
"This little girl has good comprehension, but her path... is actually the path of ruthlessness."
"It seems her future path is not going to be easy."
As time passed, the spiritual energy covering Lu Fuyue grew thicker and thicker, and her aura continued to strengthen, her cultivation gradually recovering.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Fuyue's cultivation has fully recovered, even showing faint signs of Foundation Establishment.
But her epiphanies continued.
At this moment, Hongye had returned to her previous skeletal form. In three days at most, her last remaining trace of soul would dissipate into the world.
However, judging from the way this little girl suddenly realized something, she's probably about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
But she couldn't wait that long.
It seems that I have no choice but to pass on my legacy to her now.
The white bones of the red leaves glowed with a faint white light, which then turned to ashes in an instant.
From then on, there were no more red leaves in the world.
A white bead appeared out of thin air from the ashes and instantly passed through layers of spiritual energy into Lu Fuyue's dantian.
Lu Fuyue, who was in the midst of a sudden enlightenment, was completely unaware.
Another half month later, Lu Fuyue's Qi Refining Great Perfection aura was almost saturated, and she began to break through the Foundation Establishment barrier.
The Weak Water Zither located in Lu Fuyue's sea of consciousness sensed the abundant spiritual energy and began to stir.
It appeared instantly within her dantian, absorbing a large amount of earth spiritual energy.
An unusual phenomenon occurred at the Wuji Cliff, a forbidden area of the Tianxuan Sect, with a large amount of spiritual energy flowing from the outside into the forbidden area.
The disciples guarding the forbidden area noticed something was wrong and immediately went to report to the elders.
However, they ran into Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian, who were heading to the main peak.
Mo Qianci recognized him at a glance as a disciple guarding the Cliff of Limitless, fearing that this matter was related to Lu Fuyue's death a few months ago.
So they kept the matter a secret.
However, this made it easier for Lu Fuyue to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Another month has passed.
As the spiritual energy at the bottom of the cliff gradually dissipated, Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes.
Foundation building phase complete!
She stretched out her hand, and a white bead and a miniature guqin floated above her palm.
This is something she discovered in her dantian during her cultivation process.
She didn't know what it was either.
Among them, what attracted her the most was this ancient zither, which was entirely black, but of the original seven strings, only two remained.
Lu Fuyue's heart stirred, as if something was drawing her closer.
So Lu Fuyue reached out her finger and gently touched the guqin.
Suddenly, the guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) entered her forehead, followed by various pieces of information about the instrument.
The Weak Water Zither was born in the Weak Water, where the realms of life and death meet.
The zither has seven strings: one yin string, one yang string, and five additional strings with the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
When the five strings are played, chaos arises.
Yin and Yang strings, life and death revealed!
At this moment, a semi-transparent phantom appeared in front of Lu Fuyue.
A hint of amazement flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes, but this amazement had nothing to do with love.
The figure was tall and slender, with cool eyes and a light blue robe that exuded a gentle and aloof charm, possessing an androgynous beauty.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the spirit of the Weak Water Harp, and my name is Shuize."
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback, and asked the question that had been bothering her.
Why would you choose to form a contract with someone who has less than six months to live?
