Chapter 1044 Six Thousand Years Ago, When Everything Began
Traveling through time is risky, so Jiang Xuxu informed Wenren Qiqi and Jiang Huai in advance.
Although Wenren Qiqi and Jiang Huai were worried, since Xuxu had made the decision, they also expressed their support.
Then the soul tree was opened.
The eight elders of the Wenren clan set up a magic circle around the soul tree, and Jiang Xuxu, Chu Beihe and Sanshu stood under the tree in the formation.
Jiang Xuxu touched the soul tree lightly with her palm and connected the soul tree's origin with her mind.
At the moment of connecting with the soul tree's origin power, she sent Chu Beihe and Sanshu into her mind domain.
The domain opened.
The four-symbol barrier opened.
The soul bell on the soul tree vibrated, spreading invisible ripples, which penetrated the domain and created a passage that broke through time and space.
Jiang Xuxu, Chu Beihe and Sanshu looked at each other and finally stepped into the passage.
And this was just the beginning.
Outside the domain, Wenren Baiyi continuously sent her demonic power into the soul tree. To ensure that they could accurately reach the time and space they wanted to go, they must have the power to support the passage to continue to extend into the past.
Wenren Qiqi watched from the side, and saw that as Wenren Baiyi's demonic power was rapidly consumed, the luster of her originally snow-white long hair seemed to fade a little bit, and then her skin also aged visibly with the naked eye.
Wenren Qiqi was startled and was about to ask to stop her, but was stopped by Wenren Jiuye.
"Don't bother her, she won't do anything bad to Xuxu."
Wenren Qiqi felt mixed emotions.
She was not worried that Wenren Baiyi would harm Xuxu again, but she didn't expect that she would consume her own demonic power so much for Xuxu.
But think about it, it is not so easy to open a passage back to the past, even with the power of the soul tree itself.
But she didn't understand why Wenren Baiyi was willing to do this.
After successfully sending Jiang Xuxu and their consciousness into the passage, Wenren Baiyi also gave the answer to this question.
She said,
"Searching for the Phoenix Spirit is irrelevant to me and the entire Wenren clan, but this trip may be her chance."
After Jiang Xuxu successfully transformed into the Nine-Tailed Fox, she could not sense any breakthroughs, and Wenren Baiyi had thought of various ways to do this.
Going back in time to find the opportunity of the Ten-Tailed Fox was also one of the ways she thought of.
But she had never made up her mind.
Until Jiang Xuxu took the initiative to mention it, Wenren Baiyi knew that the time had come.
Jiang Xuxu's chance was indeed in the past.
Therefore, the eight elders of the Wenren clan were willing to help.
Wenren Qiqi was surprised that Wenren Baiyi would give such an answer, but she was not surprised.
After all, the only thing that could make her mother waste her demon power and mind to do it was the future of the Wenren lineage.
She should have known it earlier.
But she still thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, mother."
Wenren Baiyi had his back to her at this time, and only slightly tilted his head. He could not see her face or emotions clearly. He only said in a light voice,
"I'm not doing this for her, let alone for you. You don't need to thank me ."
Wenren Qiqi felt stuffy in his chest when he heard this
, and he was holding back his anger. He just said, "I'm thanking myself. If you don't like to hear it, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Wenren Baiyi seemed to hum lightly.
Wenren Qiqi could vaguely see her skin slightly showing signs of aging when she tilted her head to hum lightly. As if she noticed her sight, Wenren Baiyi turned her head away.
When he raised his hand, he stepped into his own realm of thought. Before disappearing, he only left a sentence,
"I will be closed from today on. No one should bother me."
After speaking, the whole person disappeared without a trace.
Wenren Qiqi pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jiang Huai turned his attention back to the soul tree. Although he awakened his demon veins and transformed into his own soul bell, his soul bell had not rang again in the past two years.
Jiang Huai had no idea about this. He had more important things to do.
And now, there was one more important thing.
That was -
waiting for Xuxu and Chu Beihe to return.
...
On the other side, Wenren Baiyi, who had already entered the realm and restored her original appearance, suddenly realized that she had forgotten to tell them.
She had just consumed her demon power to extend a time and space channel for Jiang Xuxu and the others, not three thousand years ago.
Instead, it was six thousand years ago.
Six thousand years ago was when everything began.
*
The feeling of consciousness traveling through time and space is not pleasant.
Jiang Xuxu felt her mind was in a state of confusion, and when she opened her eyes again, she felt a chill all over her body.
The biting cold wind blew in from the window, and Jiang Xuxu was lying on the cold floor, staring at the female ghost who was floating in the air in front of her, staring at her.
"Who are you? Why are you in my body?"
The female ghost, or more precisely, the former owner of this body, Feng Zeze, looked at her timidly, as if she was a little afraid.
Because it was a consciousness crossing, in order to avoid falling into this world and becoming a wandering soul, the soul tree would send their consciousness into the newly dead body, which means rebirth.
So Jiang Xuxu was not surprised to see the soul of the original owner of this body at the first sight.
After regaining consciousness, she sat up reluctantly and said,
"I'm here to look for someone. I need to borrow your body temporarily. As a replacement, I can fulfill an unfulfilled wish for you."
When Feng Zeze heard her words, her eyes widened slightly, and then as if she thought of something, her eyes became slightly lonely,
"My body is not very good... Why don't you borrow someone else's body? Borrow a better one."
While Feng Zeze was talking, Jiang Xuxu had already quickly cast a soul-fixing spell on himself to make his soul fit more closely with this body. Then he turned around and asked Feng Zeze,
"What did you just say?"
Feng Xixi: ...
"No, nothing."
From Feng Xixi's mouth, Jiang Xuxu roughly understood the current situation of this body.
Feng Xixi was originally the daughter of the Feng family in the capital, but because she was maliciously swapped when she was young, she was left alone since she was a child. It was not until three months ago that she was accidentally discovered and brought back by the Feng family.
Although the Feng family brought her back, they were reluctant to send the fake daughter away, because the fake daughter Feng Xixi was the only one who had received a response from the Phoenix in the past hundred years.
If nothing unexpected happens, she is very likely to enter the palace as the queen in the future.
It is said that the ancestors of the Feng family once raised a phoenix and claimed that they could communicate with the phoenix. The Feng family was the first empress of the founding emperor. However, as the political situation changed, no one in the Feng family could sense the phoenix for a hundred years.
Therefore, the existence of Feng Xixi is definitely a huge temptation for the Feng family, which has been lonely for a hundred years.
The Feng family can't give up the fake daughter no matter what. In order to prevent her identity from being questioned, the Feng family took Feng Zeze, the real daughter, home, but only claimed to the outside world that she was an orphan of a distant cousin of her maternal grandfather.
Since entering the mansion, Feng Zeze has not been welcomed by her family members, and has been maliciously bullied by the servants. This time, she accidentally said at the banquet that she and Feng Xixi were born on the same day, which was regarded as a deliberate hint...
The head of the Feng family personally ordered that she be locked up in this yard and not given food or charcoal for three days, resulting in her freezing to death in this winter.
Jiang Xuxu didn't expect that it was the fate of another real and fake daughter. He listened quietly to Feng Zeze's story and only asked her,
"Do you want revenge?"
Feng Zeze was at a loss for a moment, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. Because she was cowardly by nature, she didn't dare to think about revenge even after death. She could only pin her hopes on the foreign ghost in front of her,
"Will you help me get revenge?"
Jiang Xuxu shook her head,
"Although I promised to help you fulfill a wish, revenge involves cause and effect, so you have to do it yourself."
Feng Zeze lowered her head and floated away, "But, but I can't."
Jiang Xuxu glanced at her and said,
"It's very simple, I'll teach you."
