"That is to say, the eldest sister suffered the most and the most severe pain, and Ah Zhu and I followed closely behind."
"But after being separated, this pain was shared equally among every sister."
"So, several of us who were at a higher level experienced a brief moment of clarity."
"And the eldest sister realized our current situation."
"So, she spent about five hundred years finding each of her sisters and transferring their pain to herself..."
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
The expressions of the several ghost-painted female cultivators looked as if they were about to cry.
"...After taking on the pain of more than a dozen sisters, the eldest sister began to feel the strain and came to me, seeking my help. So, I helped."
Even if Linglan couldn't bear it, Lingmei won in the confrontation of their minds, so she could only help.
"By the time she had left, she was completely unable to wake up, but I still completed the transfer according to her wishes."
"Then, I came here according to the plan of the senior sister."

"Senior sister, why didn't you tell me!" Ling Zhu's face turned pale.
"That's what Senior Sister meant," Linglan said. "She won't let me share, so she won't let you share either."
"Then we..."
"That way, we can wake up."
Linglan's tone was quite calm, but Lu Qing and others could hear the strong emotions hidden in her words.
If you think about it carefully, the awakening of the ghost-painted female cultivator is indeed a phenomenon that only appeared in this era.
"Big Sister hopes that we can complete the trial in this purgatory demon world with a clear mind."
"However, the arrangements made by the senior sister have now been destroyed."
"Her pain cannot be dispelled, and then, the pain will return to us, and we will return to chaos."
