On the Kunlun Mountains, shrouded in mist.
Several men and women with an air of otherworldly grace, dressed in loose robes, stared expressionlessly at the water curtain hanging in front of them.
A group of children are crossing a bridge through the water curtain.
The scene appeared normal, except that the children's expressions changed from time to time, sometimes even showing a ferocious look.
Of course, there was nothing unusual on the faces of these men and women, after all, they had gone through the same thing back then.
Only those who can successfully cross the Bridge of Inquiry can embark on the path of cultivation.
If one cannot cross the bridge, it means that one's will is not firm and one will be unable to attain immortality.
"This time, these children are quite good." To be able to cross the Bridge of Inquiry in such a short time, this child must have a good character. The leader nodded, looking at the boy who already had one foot on the bridge.
Not only him, but several other children had already slowly approached the bridge.
We're about to successfully cross the bridge.
The children who successfully crossed the bridge will soon become disciples of the Kunlun School.
Looking at the diverse group of children, the elder's expression softened further. This was truly wonderful; the future talents of Kunlun were among these children.
Suddenly, the child, who was about to step out with one foot, froze and quickly ran back.
"Hey, wait a minute, he's running back."
"Yes, why did he run back?"
We're about to cross the Bridge of Inquiry.
Once you cross the Bridge of Inquiry, you can become a disciple of his Kunlun sect. Why did he run away?
Ning Hong's running away aroused everyone's curiosity.
When Ning Hong arrived in this world, he was already on the path of crossing the Bridge of Questioning the Heart, and clearly, the Bridge of Questioning the Heart was not so easy to cross. Many people are deeply trapped within it.
Unable to extricate oneself.
That's how the original owner was.
To many, the original owner was exceptionally talented, possessing both wood and fire spiritual roots, making him a minor genius. However, the original owner harbored too many secrets.
Their performance on the Bridge of Inquiry was not outstanding.
Although I eventually crossed the Bridge of Inquiry, my results were not outstanding.
When Ning Hong arrived, she immediately chose to accept the plot.
As he walked, he absorbed the plot, naturally undisturbed by the Bridge of Inquiry.
Clearly, this is a world of cultivation.
This world is called Jiangliu Continent, and it is divided into the cultivation world and the mortal world.
Both sides are aware of each other's existence. The mortal realm is mostly populated by independent cultivators and ordinary people, while the major sects in the cultivation world have extensive connections and abundant resources. Every year, they send disciples to the mortal realm to find children with good spiritual roots and talents to bring back to their sects for training.
I've heard that there's a celestial realm above, but over the years, practically no one has succeeded in transcending the tribulation. Although attaining immortality is the lifelong pursuit of these cultivators, it has been nearly ten thousand years since anyone has succeeded.
The female protagonist of this world is Xia Qianhe, the legitimate daughter of a noble family in the mortal realm.
This legitimate daughter possesses a single water elemental root, is exceptionally talented, and exceptionally beautiful, enjoying immense favor. In the original timeline, Xia Qianhe successfully passed the selection process and was accepted into the Jade Sea Sect of the cultivation world.
Because of her rare spiritual root, she was chosen by the only female elder of the Jade Sea Sect to become her inner disciple. After that, she devoted herself to cultivation and reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm in less than a hundred years. She is a true genius and the disciple of the Jade Sea Sect with the greatest potential to attain the Dao.
Later, she became a Daoist couple with Cheng Ran, the chief disciple of the Kunlun Sect elders and deacons.
The grand dual cultivation ceremony held by the two major sects caused a sensation throughout the cultivation world and the mortal world.
Cheng Ran was handsome and aloof, with an extremely firm heart for seeking the Dao. The couple were very satisfied with their marriage. A thousand years after their marriage, they both broke through the void and became immortals.
Of course, that was in my past life.
Unfortunately, in this life, someone interfered, and the female lead was replaced.
The male lead is still Cheng Ran, but the female lead has been changed.
Xia Qianhe has a younger sister who is an illegitimate daughter, Xia Qianxue.
To Xia Qianhe, Xia Qianxue was just her half-sister. She had never taken her seriously, nor had she ever bullied her.
She had everything that a daughter of the Xia family should have, but her status was different and she could not compare to her elder sister's.
This left her feeling resentful.
Especially in her previous life, Xia Qianhe and her husband broke through the void and became immortals, enjoying a thousand years of loving marriage, which made her extremely envious.
Her spiritual roots were not outstanding; she possessed four spiritual roots. She had once wanted to join these major sects and become a cultivator, but the major sects required at least three spiritual roots, so they had no interest in her four.
Later, the Xia family even married her off to Ning Xize, a useless member of the Ning family.
Ning Xi, on the other hand, possessed five spiritual roots, making her a truly useless spiritual root.
She looked down on Ning Xize.
Married life was even more painful.
She lived an ordinary, uneventful life.
The two of them lived to be over two hundred years old, thanks to the elixirs provided by the Ning family.
This caused her suffering for over two hundred years, and she eventually died with resentment in her heart.
Who knew that after her death, her soul did not cross the River of Oblivion, but instead traveled directly to another world and possessed the body of a girl in modern times. After living a lifetime there, she was reborn in the year she was fifteen.
In another world, she obtained a space by chance, a space where she could grow crops and had a mysterious spiritual spring.
Perhaps because she had been consuming spiritual spring water for many years, her spiritual roots changed from four to two in this lifetime.
Although she still couldn't compare to her elder sister, it was enough for her to be valued by the family.
All she ever thought about was Xia Qianhe's husband. She had longed for him her whole life, and now, she finally had another chance to get close to him.
She became a disciple of Kunlun Sect and became Cheng Ran's junior sister.
Moreover, thanks to the support of the space and the spiritual spring, her cultivation progressed rapidly, successfully attracting Cheng Ran's attention.
Two hundred years later, the two became Daoist partners.
If that were all, it would naturally be of little importance to Xia Qianhe.
At this point, Xia Qianhe didn't know Cheng Ran, and she was focused on asking the question, so naturally she wouldn't care about her future. However, while she didn't care, Xia Qianxue did.
She didn't want to see Xia Qianhe appear in the cultivation world, and she was even less willing to see Cheng Ran meet her. Therefore, before joining Kunlun, she destroyed Xia Qianhe.
Of course, to be honest, these things have nothing to do with the original owner.
However, the person who ruined Xia Qianhe through Xia Qianxue's scheme was none other than Ning Xize, the useless member of the Ning family and the original owner's younger brother.
They were also the people the original owner wanted to protect.
In her previous life, when her younger brother died, Ning Hong was on the Bridge of Inquiry, undergoing a test. She finally passed the test and became an inner disciple of the Kunlun Sect.
Ning Hong only wrote one letter and sent it back. For the next hundred years, she never left.
However, he had never received any letters from home, which made him uneasy. He asked his master for leave to go back home, only to find that his only brother had already died.
Fueled by rage, he attacked the Xia family, demanding an explanation from them.
