Ajahn stood up somewhat helplessly; this was the first time she had faced a mythical creature directly.
Out of politeness, she nervously said, "Thank you, senior."
After I finished speaking, I felt my palms sweating.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
A-Jiang was surprised by its politeness and quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's not hard work."
She transmigrated from another world. Apart from being physically weak, having useless spiritual roots, encountering danger in Qingqiu, and suffering misfortune at home, she had always lived a relatively good life.
Who knew that its next words would cause Ah Jiang's mind to explode.
"You are actually a fragment of my soul."
"What?"
Ajahn stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She had heard of the concept of split souls in the cultivation world, but she never imagined that she was a split soul; she thought she was the protagonist.
"I am Bai Ze. Seventy thousand years ago, I barely attained enlightenment by relying on the luck of the human race, but I was envied by the Demon Saint and besieged. I had long foreseen that I would face a calamity of death, so I divided my soul into 100,000 fragments and sent them into the myriad worlds. My main body hid in the diagram and sealed itself away to wait for the calamity to pass. This wait has lasted for tens of thousands of years."
It recounts its own experiences.
A-Jiang knew that the appearance of the Bai Ze Hundred Demon Map had tilted the victory of the human-demon war in favor of the human race, but he never expected there to be such a complicated follow-up.
"So my time travel wasn't an accident?"
"As the body's injuries heal, the cohesion of the soul will become stronger and stronger. Over the years, many souls have returned one after another. They either return directly to the body or, like you, are reincarnated into my bloodline descendants. These are all destined."
"Then, you're going to take me back too?"
Ajahn looked at it, unsure of its plans.
She never expected that she would have such a background. She used to be an ordinary office worker, and there was nothing about her that seemed different.
How did I become a fragment of Bai Ze's soul?
Bai Ze shook his head.
"Splitting your soul is just one of the backup plans. After so many reincarnations, you have completed your soul and are no longer attached to me. The connection between our souls is also almost severed. You can now live your own life."
Ah Jiang couldn't quite describe how he felt after hearing all this; it was a very complicated feeling.
"When I split my soul, I was still undergoing tribulation, so each of my split souls carries the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, which is also the reason why the Bai family has gradually declined in recent years."
Indeed, although the Bai family often produces exceptionally talented members, most of them suffer tragic fates and die young, likely due to an inescapable destiny.
Neither Ah Jiang nor anyone else in the time-traveling world were destined for great wealth and a life of leisure.
"You are like my child. I have survived my death and am about to leave this world. Before I go, I want to leave you with something."
As he spoke, Bai Ze broke off a piece from his antler and rubbed it with his hands to form a white bead.
Bai Ze formed a hand seal, and a green magic circle appeared in the void. The magic circle struck the bead, and the bead turned into a stream of light and entered A Jiang's brow. A white dot appeared between her brows.
At this moment
Bai Ze waved his right hand, and the dot disappeared.
"The white pearl is a magic pearl formed from my primordial power. It will slowly nourish and transform your body, bringing you closer to me."
Ah Jiang already felt a significant difference in his body; his blood flow accelerated, and he felt hot all over.
This feeling is much like planting a seed in your body. This seed absorbs nutrients, takes root, sprouts, blossoms, bears fruit, and nourishes itself.
Ah Jiang felt an itch on his head, reached out and touched it, and found that two tiny deer antlers had grown out.
this……
Bai Ze seemed to find it cute too, covering his mouth and laughing, his eyes filled with even more affection.
"So cute..."
Looking at the antlers, she seemed to be thinking of something else, her expression becoming somewhat dazed. After a while, she seemed to want to say something.
But at this moment, Ah Jiang suddenly had a severe headache, his body couldn't help but spasm, and he collapsed to the ground, his consciousness being tormented by pain.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Even the well-informed Bai Ze was taken aback by this sudden change. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have rejected her own source power.
She came to A-Jiang's side, bent down to examine her, and found a black dot between her eyebrows that was intertwined and circling with the previous white bead.
Both of them have extraordinary origins, and the energy generated by their interaction is naturally beyond what Ajahn Chah could withstand.
The black bead appeared strangely back then, and A-Jiang had never been able to figure it out. He never expected it to suddenly appear and cause trouble at this time.
Bai Ze pointed his index finger at the black bead, trying to pull it outwards, but the black bead was very stubborn and kept shaking, trying to escape.
Just as Bai Ze increased his control over his spiritual power, a black bead flew out of his storage bag on its own and shot quickly out the window.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The black bead collided with the white barrier, bounced back, and was caught in Bai Ze's large hand.
"Hmph, very good, I didn't expect to encounter something from the demon race."
As soon as the bead was caught, A-Jiang's pain stopped immediately. She sat up, covered in cold sweat, feeling that her body and soul had endured pain beyond her years tonight. It was too hard!
"Senior, what exactly is this?"
"This is a soul artifact of the demon race. High-level demons can hide their souls inside it and secretly parasitize the body of a cultivator, slowly controlling or replacing the original master. This method is very covert and cannot be detected by ordinary methods. Even I didn't notice it just now. Where did you find this thing?"
"Once, I went to Deer Horn Village, and suddenly a four-tailed fox demon appeared and started fighting with the people from the Demon Suppression Hall. The wooden building was broken, and this bead fell from somewhere and hit me on the head. I thought it was some kind of lucky encounter..."
"Where do so many fortuitous encounters come from? Nine times out of ten, fortuitous encounters in the cultivation world are deceptive traps. This soul weapon has simply left a mark on your consciousness. Its true form is hidden in your storage bag and may still be choosing a more suitable host."
"It's really cunning."
Upon hearing the origin of this Horcrux, Ajahn was both angry and fearful, realizing how difficult it was for him to have survived until now.
Once he was possessed by a demon, once he was almost killed by a treacherous cultivator, and this time he almost died at the hands of his own father.
She couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow: "Is this why I'm destined for misfortune?"
"Cough cough, things have turned around. Look, now it can not only not harm you, but I can also use it as your nourishment."
nourishment?
Bai Ze didn't say anything more. A white flame ignited in his palm, and the soul weapon immediately emitted a terrible and unpleasant howl.
A terrifying demon's head appeared on the sphere, screaming in agony.
