Ye Shang rubbed her head and sat up straight. The sound of the Nine Heavens Tribulation exploding in her mind was still ringing in her ears. When the last lightning bolt struck, she was just about to take out her top-grade magic robe to defend herself when darkness suddenly descended upon her.
After a long pause, she shook her head and looked around at her surroundings.
In that instant! She was completely devastated. She desperately wanted to run outside and yell at God, "Damn it, is this happening on purpose?!"
Unfortunately, the place she woke up in was the same home she had lived in before she transmigrated to the Xuan Tian Continent. She was just a high school graduate who was about to enter university, and it was summer vacation. Before she transmigrated to the Xuan Tian Continent, she was staying at home.
She lived with her maternal grandmother since she was a child. Unfortunately, her grandmother was already seriously ill and had been hospitalized. Just a few days ago, when she received her university admission notice, she smiled and closed her eyes before passing away.
My maternal grandmother used to like hoarding things, especially food. This is an old-fashioned idea; she always felt that having surplus food at home meant she wouldn't panic. It was thanks to this food that she was able to survive at home for so long.
Her family owns a house in the city. Her maternal grandmother said that it was left to her by her parents before they passed away. Her parents died in a plane crash while on a business trip when she was younger.
She recalled her memories of this period and her experience during the tribulation. It all seemed like a dream. She had been in the cultivation world for more than two thousand years. Along the way, she had always studied and practiced diligently. Seclusion was the norm for her. She would only leave the sect to train when she needed to undergo a tribulation. The sect leader had once said that she had excellent aptitude and was expected to become an immortal.
But why was she brought back to her original form at the very last moment before she became an immortal?
Ye Shang had fallen to the ground and sat there for a while before slowly getting up and opening the window. She didn't have many memories in her mind; they were all memories that existed before she transmigrated. The only difference was that she had a fever.
Her mind was a complete blank. The TV in the living room was still on, which was her favorite thing to do during summer vacation. She would watch TV and do her homework at the same time. The family still had a lot of savings, all of which were compensation money from her parents. Her maternal grandmother was very frugal, so the two of them didn't spend much money.
The television was no longer working. She had blocked many tables, chairs, and cabinets in front of her house and windows. She hadn't dared to go out at all during this time. According to her memory, she hadn't left the house for two months, which meant that she had been eating the food she had stored up at home before the apocalypse for the past two months.
No matter who knocked on the door, she never opened it. She had no family left in the world. Even her close friends from school were mostly in their hometowns and wouldn't come looking for her from so far away. So no matter how much they knocked or banged on the door, she didn't dare to open it. She pushed aside anything she could to block the door.
Ye Shang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her shoulder-length hair was loose. Strands of hair wet with sweat stuck to her cheeks, and her lips were burned and chapped. She struggled to stand up with the help of the sofa.
Once she sat down on the sofa, she tried to circulate the cultivation techniques she had learned before. Unfortunately, she couldn't generate any spiritual energy for a long time. She was somewhat frustrated because there was no spiritual energy in the modern world!
Unable to master it, she had no choice but to experiment with each technique one by one. She had learned many skills, even a basic one would do.
Just as she was becoming increasingly impatient, her body grew weaker and weaker, whether due to the two soul transfers or the changes in the world, she didn't know.
After trying it again and again, finally, a technique called the Power Control Technique worked. In an instant, she felt some power gathering in her body. Although she didn't know what kind of energy it was, it at least helped her body slowly recover from her high fever.
In the next instant, her entire body changed. At that moment, a fist-sized black hole appeared where no one could see it. A flash of red and white light appeared inside, and then disappeared again.
Ye Shang's body gradually recovered, and she was even healthier than before. She decided to make the Power Control Technique her primary cultivation method.
When she opened her eyes, her gaze suddenly brightened. She saw a sword floating in front of her, her natal sword 'Light Shadow'. The sword was red and white, and a simple ring hung from its tip.
A smile instantly appeared on Ye Shang's face. She took the ring, which was a spatial ring that she had crafted herself using materials she had collected. The space inside was as large as five football fields. She had used all her savings to make it when she was almost a thousand years old. It was a very simple design, like a modern silver ring, just a thin little circle with many runes engraved on it.
She put the ring on her hand, and instantly her consciousness merged, connected, and formed a contract again. There wasn't much inside. She had been in seclusion for many years and only had a few sets of robes, all of which she had painstakingly crafted with various materials. The rest were some fasting pills and other healing pills.
She thought about how little food they had at home and felt a little helpless. "It's a good thing you showed up, otherwise things would have been really tough."
The Light Shadow Sword swayed up and down in balance for a moment, then flashed red and white light and disappeared. The next moment, it appeared in the spatial ring, where it habitually hung on a sandalwood slot that its master had crafted for it.
If Ye Shang needed the Light Shadow Sword, it could instantly appear in her hand; this was the Light Shadow Sword's agility.
