Chapter 313: Breaking the Engagement Xu Hui sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by spiritual mist...
Xu Hui sat cross-legged on the ground, spiritual mist rising from her body, and strands of spiritual energy emanated from her body, nourishing all things.
When all her spiritual energy dissipated, the only connection she had with the Divine Jade Sword was a thin layer of 'telepathy'.
This is the best opportunity to cut off contact, but also the worst opportunity.
This interruption in time will not hinder her from re-condensing her body, but as her soul is already suffering from the backlash, the damage to her consciousness will be aggravated.
But Xu Hui still decided to do so. She didn't want to become a sword spirit. Even if it was a divine sword, it was still an artifact.
It was hard for her not to suspect that the reason she was chosen by the 'Wuqing Dao' was because of the influence of the divine jade sword.
In that connected period of time, cause is effect, effect is cause, the past is the future, and the future is also the past.
At this moment, she did not think that the 'ruthless way' was bad, and there was nothing worth her lingering on at this time.
Thinking of this, Xu Hui looked at Wei Mubai in the formation inexplicably, and then lowered her eyelids.
'There's only gratitude between them, so there's no need to worry!' she thought.
But even so, she still regards herself as a person, not a Qilin or a sword.
So even though this would cause her more serious injuries, Xu Hui still chose to cut off contact.
She put her fingers together and pulled out the entangled divine thread in her sea of consciousness in an extremely simple and rough manner. With a force, she broke it directly.
"Puff," Xu Hui felt as if someone had hit her head with a sledgehammer, making her dizzy, with a splitting headache, and almost unable to think.
His face became visibly pale and weak, but Xu Hui remained expressionless and calm.
She had already guessed the result and was prepared to pay the price, so she was very decisive and took action again when she felt better.
One after another, the divine threads were broken cleanly and completely under her violence.
It's completely turned into a mess and can't be condensed into shape.
Xu Hui endured the severe pain and did not let herself faint. She condensed those divine threads and tried to simulate a human figure.
But after a moment, it dispersed and became chaotic.
Xu Hui's sea of consciousness was hit even harder. She finally couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes went dark, and she passed out.
Time passed quickly, and after an unknown number of years, the person lying on the ground finally woke up.
Xu Hui felt so heavy, her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open them no matter what, and her body couldn't move.
No, she didn't have a body now, just a ball of consciousness, but her consciousness couldn't move, which meant that she was seriously injured.
She was able to wake up because she was half-Qilin, and could comprehend the laws and practice independently, which allowed her tangled consciousness to become slightly more organized.
But it's still a mess, and it will take a very long time to condense a body again.
Fortunately, she has woken up. Although she cannot move, she can still comprehend the laws of the universe.
The difference between active and passive is huge, so big that even after lying in a coma for several years, she only managed to repair a few scars in her sea of consciousness.
But after actively perceiving and practicing, the scars healed at a lightning speed, the ball of thread became clearer and clearer, and easier to control.
Only when she could control all the divine threads at will did she continue to create her body.
At the moment her new body took shape, she suddenly had a thought, and her body and face changed, becoming seven points similar to her in her previous life.
The last three points are the difference between ordinary people and monks. It is like turning on a hundred times beauty filter, making them more beautiful, more intelligent and more attractive.
But unsurprisingly, this is what she should have looked like after becoming an immortal.
There are certain differences between this and the original body she left in the Wei family!
That was the body of the original owner, Xu Shan. Since the cultivation and fusion, it has become more and more like her soul, but it always has the characteristics of Xu Shan.
In other words, even if the cause and effect were severed, the fact that she was still a member of the Xu family would not change.
But this new body has completely gotten rid of the mark of Xu Shan and is now her, Xu Hui!
She suddenly had a premonition that if her original body died, she could use her Nascent Soul body to replace it and completely draw a line between herself and Xu Shan.
But why would she do this? It would cause her to be severely injured, waste a lot of time to recover and regroup, and slow down her ascension to immortality.
But Xu Huifu suddenly realized that she should do so.
When she completely cuts off the cause and effect with Xu Shan, both she and Xu Shan will gain complete freedom!
After reviewing the memory of obsession, Xu Hui gained a deeper understanding of fate, reincarnation, and cause and effect.
This involves taking over another's body.
Is there a case of possession between her and Xu Shan?
She didn't know. The system said that she took over that body after Xu Shan died.
However, Xu Shan's soul has left and been reincarnated, so there is no cause and effect between them.
But the body belongs to Xu Shan. Even if her soul leaves, once she takes over, the repeated tempering will affect Xu Shan's soul.
Although not obvious, this involvement always exists.
In particular, she has done a lot of things and gained a lot of merit, which will be fed back to Xu Shan through the physical connection.
This should have been a good thing. If you occupy someone's body, you naturally have to pay them back.
But because she accumulated a lot of merit in a short period of time, Xu Shan's spiritual path became extremely smooth.
Yes, but in just over a decade, Xu Shan did not reincarnate and was still in the spiritual world.
In this way, her connection with her body is not completely severed, and the merits gained by her body will be fed back to her, manifesting as an extremely strong spiritual talent.
In this way, not only will she not be reborn as a human being, but she will take another path.
In other words, the appearance of Xu Hui also changed Xu Shan's original destiny.
This change is neither good nor bad, but the connection between the two people is definitely strengthened because of their bodies.
Moreover, Xu Hui is the one who takes the initiative. Xu Shan has benefited so much from her that she may have to pay for this karma in the future.
Is this a good thing?
Xu Hui doesn’t think so!
From Xu Shan's perspective, you occupied my body, so it's only right that you give me some merit in return. It's also a reasonable transaction.
But because you have so many merits, I have gained too much merit, which makes me owe you something. If I don’t pay you back, it will affect my future practice.
You have changed my life, and I should help you afterwards. Why?
Is this what I wanted? Did I actively strive for it? You changed my life without asking, without my consent, and now you expect me to repay you?
Anyone would be angry about this, right?
Even though Xu Hui made Xu Shan's spiritual cultivation path extremely smooth, and she went from being a person with low qualifications and mixed spiritual roots to a favored daughter of heaven, it was not something she actively strived for and it made people feel unhappy!
Xu Hui felt that if she were in that situation, she would also feel very aggrieved.
Maybe Xu Shan didn't know at the moment that they were involved in this matter, but Xu Hui knew it.
She practices the way of ruthlessness, not the way of beastliness!
I'm not so shameless as to take someone's body and expect them to be grateful to me.
She laughed and said, "Okay, let her cut off this cause and effect!"
After her original body died, she was just Xu Hui from then on, and Xu Shan had no connection with her at all. The two were completely two individuals, and there was no causal relationship between them.
As for the great amount of merit contained in the original body, it was divided into two and returned to her and Xu Shan's souls.
That merit was her repayment to Xu Shan. From then on, she no longer owed Xu Shan anything, and Xu Shan no longer owed her anything.
That’s great!
Xu Hui suddenly felt her mind clear, and she felt an unprecedented sense of joy.
It is a kind of happiness that comes from being free from all constraints, wandering freely between heaven and earth, without any ties, without cause or effect.
It also means that her ruthless path has truly broken free from its shackles and taken a step forward!
In this state, it seems that even the heaven cannot impose any responsibility on her, because she is a true outsider. How can the heaven force her?
The reason she had to endure various disasters before was because she occupied Xu Shan's body and took the benefits of this world, so naturally she had to be obedient and do things.
But then...
Xu Hui smiled and looked up at the sky. How could it force her?
This is just like how the Heavenly Dao cannot force the outsider Senior Wei Yuan to do anything, nor can it require her to continue to contribute to the advancement of the Heavenly Dao.
Everything Wei Yuan did was to help Senior Han Yueyan fight for a chance to survive, and he took the initiative to participate in it.
And she, Xu Hui, was actually forced to be involved and could not refuse.
But as long as her original body dies and she repays the cause and effect with merit, she will truly be free in the world, and the laws of nature will not be able to do anything to her or demand anything of her.
And the merits she had accumulated before were her pass to this world!
I see!
It turns out that the path she had taken before and her encounter with Wei Mubai had drawn her into a deeper cause and effect, strengthening her connection with this world.
Only by following the path of ruthlessness can one truly be free and at ease in the world, and be at ease as one pleases. No one and nothing can restrain her, and the laws of nature cannot demand anything of her.
Xu Hui looked at Wei Mubai, her eyes devoid of affection. "Haha, you are my calamity, the shackles that bind me!"
People really shouldn't believe in good luck or pie-in-the-sky good things, because they are nothing but carefully designed traps and snares that lure people in.
After figuring this out, Xu Hui acted without hesitation, his spiritual thoughts penetrating the long river of time and conveying it to his original self.
A thousand years later, deep in the Wei family's immortal residence, in a cave protected by layers of formations, Xu Hui suddenly opened his eyes.
Rings of growth flashed before her eyes, and time passed quickly in them. Only when the last ring slowly faded away did she return to normal.
"So that's how it is!" Xu Hui murmured, "Everything is just a calculation of heaven."
All her experiences were intentional by heaven, so what about her admiration for Wei Mubai? It was also the result of careful planning. How much of it was true and how much was false?
When she lost her emotions and looked at the problem from a rational perspective, she found that the truth was so cruel and had been expected.
Neither her love for Wei Mubai nor Wei Mubai's deep affection for her was so pure.
Maybe the feelings are real, and people who truly love each other are willing to make sacrifices for each other, so there is no need to be so calculative.
But when this emotion fades and its calculating nature is revealed, it becomes very uncomfortable.
Xu Hui chuckled and looked around the carefully decorated cave. She couldn't help but sigh. Wei Mubai was very good to her, and the Wei family was also very good to her. They protected her from beginning to end and didn't owe her anything.
The one who plotted against her was not Wei Mubai or the Wei family, but Heaven. They were also part of the conspiracy, but that kindness was real.
In this case, then, "I swear, with my body as a sacrifice, and my merits as a guide, to burn away the shackles of Heaven, break the Heavenly Dao marriage contract, and return Wei Mubai to freedom!"
Anyway, her body is going to die, so she will burn the last bit of value to completely resolve the ties imposed on them and give Wei Mubai and Xu Hui's souls true freedom!
It just so happened that Wei Mubai had lost his entire body, leaving only his remnant soul, so the backlash from the heavens had little effect on him.
Xu Hui's soul was already in a state of backlash, so a little more or less made no difference!
As soon as she finished speaking, her body began to burn without fire, and gradually disappeared between heaven and earth like a scroll.
