Chapter 140 Ah Heng, who exactly are you?
The Realm of the Spirits.
In a secluded cave, fragrant mist swirls, and fresh flowers adorn every corner of the cave like a tapestry.
In a secret chamber deep within the cave, candles were lit, each burning with a ghostly blue light.
Han Wei sat on the futon with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and mysterious runes appeared in her pupils. Seven strands of immortal energy surrounded her body. She stretched out her fingers and cast a series of spells, causing the candlelight around her to flicker violently.
Many runes appeared in the void.
With a wave of her hand, Han Wei's vision changed, and the entire world transformed into endless mysterious characters. Standing amidst this sea of mysterious characters, she began to calculate with her fingers.
As she was calculating the location of Lu Qingheng's reincarnation, the endless, profound characters shattered and turned into mist. This mist obscured her eyes, and she could see nothing clearly.
A year ago, she had already tried to divine the place of Lu Qingheng's reincarnation.
But she couldn't figure it out.
This time, Han Wei was still persistent.
She sat on a futon, enveloped in golden light. Within her sea of consciousness, on the massive divine tree, one by one, the Divine Wisdom Fruits lit up. The one hundred and eight Divine Wisdom Fruits emitted dazzling light like blazing miniature suns, causing her entire sea of consciousness to tremble and runes to surge like a turbulent sea.
The veil of mist slowly lifted a corner, revealing a hazy figure.
Han Wei only glanced at the hazy figure before she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly becoming severely injured.
The divination was interrupted.
how so?
Han Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.
A year ago, she hadn't foreseen this and thought it was because her divination skills were lacking, but what was happening now? Backlash? Lu Qingheng was just a mortal; how could she be suffering a backlash?
Han Wei couldn't understand it.
She gritted her teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She wants to try again.
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals and casting spells. This time, she saw the mist again. When the mist cleared, a hazy figure appeared, seemingly existing in the eternal starry sky. Just like before, the moment the hazy figure appeared, she was struck by its backlash.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, blood gushing from her mouth.
She wanted to see more, much more.
A force was tearing her body apart; the punishment for peeking into the secrets of heaven was causing her to bleed from all seven orifices.
The hazy figure is disappearing.
No, no, no, she needed to see clearly where he was.
Han Wei refused to give up. Cracks began to appear in her primordial spirit, spreading across her consciousness like a spider web. More and more blood gushed from her mouth, her eyes, nose, and ears. In her sea of consciousness, divine wisdom fruits began to burn, and her entire body was ablaze. The unbearable pain caused her to scream in agony.
But she still couldn't make out the blurry figure.
boom!
Like a thunderbolt from the heavens, it exploded in her mind.
"ah--"
Han Wei screamed and collapsed unconscious.
Even in her coma, the cracks on Han Wei's body didn't disappear; in fact, they multiplied. Her incredibly powerful self-healing ability seemed to have lost its effectiveness at this moment. Her life force was rapidly draining away, her physical body was turning into petals of flowers, and her primordial spirit was collapsing.
Just as she was about to die, the nine-colored bead in her primordial spirit emitted a dazzling light.
Time seemed to rewind, and the petals gathered again to form Han Wei's body. The injuries to her body and spirit healed rapidly and disappeared.
The entire cave was deathly silent, and the nine-colored bead returned to its original state, quietly residing within Han Wei's primordial spirit, unchanged.
Han Wei's consciousness entered a strange space, a space filled with mist. She felt her body disappear; she had transformed into a bead, a bead emitting nine-colored light...
Han Wei remained unconscious in the cave for a month before waking up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar scene. She sat up blankly, looking at her own body. She was unharmed, but she remembered the terrifying ordeal before she lost consciousness. She remembered that at that moment, all the Divine Wisdom Fruits in her sea of consciousness had burst into flames, even the Divine Wisdom Wood showed signs of burning.
Her spirit and her physical body are both collapsing.
How come she's better now?
Han Wei looked inward and found that the Divine Wisdom Dao Wood and Divine Wisdom Dao Fruit in her sea of consciousness were perfectly fine. After much meditation and contemplation, she could only conclude that it was because her Wood Spirit Body had taken effect, and her powerful self-healing ability had saved her life.
However, she didn't understand.
Why? Why did it take so long for her to find out where Ah Heng was reincarnated?
What exactly is Ah Heng's background?
With her current skill in divination, this shouldn't be happening! She thought again of the totem on Lu Qingheng's back. Gu Qi had one, he had one too, they all had them. What exactly did that totem represent?
Han Wei sat quietly for a long time, then murmured, "Aheng, who exactly are you?"
Her words fell into the deathly silence of the cave, like a feather sinking into a cold lake.
No one answered her question.

In a prosperous metropolis in the ethereal realm.
Han Wei walked through the market wearing a veil. There were many cultivators who had set up stalls, displaying various items for sale or listing materials they wanted to trade.
Han Wei scanned the stalls but didn't find what she was looking for. She intended to check out the auction house ahead, but a glimpse of her divine sense revealed a familiar "old friend."
She's still alive?
Han Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked directly at that "old friend."

Inside a shop, a male cultivator at the Integration stage was embracing a female cultivator at the early Refinement stage.
The blue-haired male cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage was dressed in magnificent attire and possessed a handsome appearance. The female cultivator he was embracing was charming and a rare beauty. She wore a light green gauze dress, her long, jet-black hair loosely tied up with two jade hairpins, and her small, delicate face looked pitiful.
"Mei'er, do you think this hairpin is pretty?" the blue-haired male cultivator asked with a smile.
"This hairpin is just so-so. Oh dear, there's nothing good in this shop. Let's go somewhere else," Su Rumei said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, let's go look at other places," the blue-haired male cultivator said, completely obedient to her.
Although the male cultivator was extremely ingratiating towards Su Rumei, Su Rumei was not happy. She disliked that he was not handsome enough and not strong enough. It sounds unbelievable that a Void Refinement stage cultivator would look down on a Body Integration stage cultivator, but it was not surprising at all for Su Rumei.
Previously, she shared a body with the Heavenly Demon Mother. The Heavenly Demon Mother was not only strict with her but also frequently cultivated for her. Coupled with her good fortune, she advanced very quickly. The Heavenly Demon Mother attempted to possess Han Wei several times but failed each time, suffering repeated setbacks and nearly being killed by Han Wei on several occasions. Later, the Heavenly Demon Mother came to terms with it and gave up the idea of trying to take Han Wei's body again.
