Chapter 51 Bloodline The blood of the Shen family flows in her veins.
"How... could it be you?" Qiu Sheng was the first to come to her senses. She looked at the sword in Shen Cangyu's hand, and then looked past her to Pei Wenjing behind her.
They had waited for so many years, hoping that the Immortal Lord of Kunlun would manifest and appoint his successor. The Immortal Lord of Kunlun had disappeared for hundreds of years; his last appearance was when Pei Wenjing came to Dragon Ridge Mountain.
In the past, they truly believed that Pei Wenjing was the chosen successor of the Kunlun Immortal Lord, and therefore they kept him captive, preventing him from leaving Dragon Ridge Mountain. Even though Pei Wenjing firmly stated that he would not submit to the will of all things.
Unexpectedly, fate played a cruel trick on us.
The final heir was not Pei Wenjing, but Shen Cangyu.
The sect leader looked at Shen Cangyu, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions and a hint of bewilderment.
He thought, "Sure enough, my guess was right."
He always believed it to be true and always felt that as long as he kept cultivating, he would eventually have the opportunity to inherit the legacy.
Until he adopted a child and brought him back to Kunlun.
The long-lost Kunlun Immortal Lord has appeared.
At this moment, the sect leader suddenly felt fear. He knew that this child could not possibly carry the bloodline of the Kunlun Immortal Lord, yet he could awaken the Kunlun Immortal Lord.
This phenomenon shattered both his ancestral precepts and his beliefs. Only then did he realize that his persistence over the years had been nothing but a forced effort, and that his Shen family had not received any preferential treatment from the Kunlun Immortal Lord.
He was filled with anxiety until Shen Cangyu appeared.
The moment the sect leader saw her, he was reminded of the woman from Penglai he had met during his training years ago.
They were briefly in love, but ultimately went their separate ways.
He had thought they had no future.
Unexpectedly, a child from Penglai reminded him of all his past memories. Shen Cangyu's surname was Shen, and he came from Penglai; how could he not have many thoughts about him?
really!
As expected! Shen Cangyu is the true successor of the Kunlun Immortal Lord; the blood of the Shen family flows in her veins!
The sect leader burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. He had waited too long for this day; he had finally lived up to the trust of his ancestors and passed on the legacy of the Myriad Weapons Returning to the Heart.
"What's going on?!" the system screamed in despair. "Where's the author?! Author! Boss! God! Help!!! How did the plot turn out like this?!"
Shen Qingyan was startled by the sound like a kettle boiling beside him. Looking at the scene, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Waaaaah..." The system pounded the ground and cried, "That inheritance should have been yours, but this guy stole it from you!"
"Inheritance? What inheritance? You mean that sword?" Shen Qingyan looked at the sword in Shen Cangyu's hand. The green sword had no patterns and looked extremely simple, but it carried a chilling aura.
“That sword…isn’t that her sword?” He was a fan of the original novel.
"Wake up!" The system practically grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Look at your honor points! All the honor points we worked so hard to accumulate are back to square one!"
Shen Qingyan glanced at his honor points backstage. Previously, when he unlocked the sword in his hand, his honor points had increased slightly. After reliving his past memories in the third illusion, his honor points surged again. When he topped the assessment leaderboard and received everyone's praise, his honor points continued to rise, reaching an unprecedented peak.
But now, after Shen Cangyu revealed his inherited sword, his honor points plummeted.
[Wait, where did this person come from?]
[Why is the enjoyment in this story always so fleeting? Just when the plot starts to get exciting, Shen Cangyu suddenly appears, determined to make his presence known.]
[It makes me furious]
[The villain? She has so much screen time; she's in the whole story.]
[This guy's cheating! How come he can always outshine the protagonist in everything?]
[Does the author even know how to write a plot? If you don't know how, I'll teach you. A satisfying story needs to have mini-bosses of varying strengths, so readers get the thrill of leveling up as they watch the protagonist defeat one boss after another. You've put in a character like this... I don't understand her purpose. She can never win, and the plot is so frustrating. This isn't how you write a coming-of-age story.]
【What do you know? This is called a sworn enemy. Whether they are sworn enemies or not, I know perfectly well! kswl】
[They're swooning again upstairs. You'd swoon over any woman? How many couples have you been swooning over?]
[Leave me alone! (The system screams)]
[It's alright, the protagonist needs room to grow... He can't just wipe out the whole world right away... He'll be able to beat her eventually.]
[Does anyone remember the author saying they were writing a "couch potato with a cheat-like protagonist" novel? (Damn it, I just checked the synopsis and the author removed the "couch potato" tag. I was tricked into coming here to die!)]
The system wept and said, "Our wish-fulfillment story is gone, Yanzi, we're about to become expendable pawns..."
"Does that mean we've turned into a tragic story?" Shen Qingyan blinked.
The system grabbed him by the neck and said, "If you don't step up your game, we're really doomed!"
"What are the consequences of being a 'be'?" Shen Qingyan asked tentatively.
"I don't want a bad ending. If you want a bad ending, then I'll throw you away," the system said viciously.
Upon hearing this from the system, Shen Qingyan panicked: "Don't go! I'll do as you say!"
"Since the plot has developed to this point, we have no choice but to adjust it. If Shen Cangyu doesn't want to be a minor character, then we'll treat her as the ultimate boss and defeat her," the system said, staring at Shen Cangyu's figure.
Every coin has two sides, and in every story, there's a protagonist and a antagonist. They have different stances and different methods, so let Shen Cangyu be the antagonist.
Defeating her serves as both a challenging and exhilarating part of the plot, using her evil to highlight the protagonist's nobility, thus resonating with readers.
Let her bear the hatred of all the viewers in the live chat.

"Cangyu, when did you inherit the throne? Why didn't you tell us?" Qiu Sheng stopped Shen Cangyu and looked at her with a frown.
Shen Cangyu had already sheathed her sword. She crossed her arms and said to Qiu Sheng, "I figured this out during the recent assessment. As soon as I understood it, I came back."
Pei Wenjing stood not far behind them, watching their conversation and keeping an eye on Qiu Sheng's gaze.
When he was a child, he sensed the call of the Kunlun Immortal Lord, and at the time he thought it was a blessing, until he saw the gazes of everyone around him.
His eyes burned with undisguised jealousy, just like the flames that scorched his soul day and night in his dreams.
To maintain those relationships, he had to avoid infringing on their interests. In his eyes, the person who embodies the spirit of all things was more important than the inheritance of the spirit of all things.
After all, he was different from the other Kunlun disciples. He didn't want to cultivate immortality; he just wanted to be a good person and live out his life properly.
The way Qiu Sheng looked at Shen Cangyu filled him with fear; he worried that Qiu Sheng would attack Shen Cangyu.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Sheng relaxed his brow, pinched Shen Cangyu's cheek, and said, "You brat, I never thought the inheritance would fall into your hands. If I had known you were this powerful, I would have dug you up from Penglai. Now that you've inherited the Kunlun Sword, you have to stay in Kunlun and you're not allowed to go back to Penglai."
Shen Cangyu squealed and cried out as she kneaded him.
Pei Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at the scene before him with a blank expression.
So...it's that simple? So even though Shen Cangyu obtained the Kunlun Sword, no one dared to speak harshly to her, no one hated her? So everything in the past was just fear he created out of thin air.
It turns out that the scenes of him fighting against Kunlun in his childhood dreams were just his imagination.
It seems that nightmares are just nightmares and will never come true.
Qiu Sheng released the Shen Cangyu jade from her hand and looked at Pei Wenjing not far away. She hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Wenjing, are you alright?"
In their eyes, even though Pei Wenjing claimed he was unwilling to believe in the "All Things Return to the Heart" doctrine, they always considered him one of the candidates to succeed him. They had held this belief for many years, but only at this moment did they realize that the true successor was not Pei Wenjing.
Qiu Sheng was afraid that Pei Wenjing would feel disappointed.
"I'm fine," Pei Wenjing said.
"Really?" Qiu Sheng didn't quite believe him, after all, he was most used to swallowing all his sadness.
“Really,” Pei Wenjing understood the meaning behind Qiu Sheng’s words. He raised his hand, and the yin-yang symbol appeared in his palm. “I already have the Daoist magic.”
Looking at the yin-yang fish in his hand, he suddenly remembered that he had now inherited a different Daoist method. Logically speaking, he was no longer the person who returned to the heart of all things. Shouldn't he, as an outsider, move away from the person who returned to the heart of all things?
Pei Wenjing shared his thoughts.
"no!"
"Can't!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Shen Cangyu and Qiu Sheng exchanged a glance, then looked at Pei Wenjing at the same time.
Chou Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "You brat, I raised you from infancy, and now you think you can just leave home after all that?"
"What are you saying, Senior Sister!" Pei Wenjing's pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but interrupt her, his face flushed.
What do you mean by "poop and pee"? He had absolutely no memory of that. He remembered that when he came to Kunlun, although he was young, he was old enough to remember things, and it was impossible for him to be like a baby.
Shen Cangyu looked at Pei Wenjing and suddenly remembered the scene she saw in the illusion during the assessment.
In her memory, Pei Wenjing's misfortune began the moment he chose to leave Kunlun. Kunlun would then experience numerous calamities: Xu Qiubai's defection, the collapse of the Xingxiang Hall's faith, the extermination of Wanqi Guixin, the burning of the Sutra Repository, Wuliangsheng's infiltration of Kunlun, Baimujing's transformation into Pei Wenjing to attack Kunlun disciples… and Pei Wenjing's true identity being exposed.
All the calamities began the moment Pei Wenjing left Kunlun.
Now that she has those memories, she has a chance to stop it all.
This time, she would absolutely not let Pei Wenjing leave Kunlun.
