The voice left the young woman unsure.
The sword had already appeared in her hand, but her mother wouldn’t let go of her.
“Don’t be angry… Don’t think about revenge. It’ll only destroy you,” said the old woman.
The young woman looked down at the bloodstained face of her mother.
“Listen to , my daughter. Your father and I have lived for a long ti. Our only wish is to see you grow. Hatred will make you lose your humanity. It’ll beco a hurdle in your path of knowledge,” said the old woman as her pale face regained its radiance.
It was as though life had returned to her body.
“Promise ,” said the old woman as she held onto her tightly. “You disappointed your parents,” said the voice again.
The young woman found herself in a dilemma.
“It’s alright. Don’t be rash. I’ll watch over you, my daughter. Your father and I…
we’ll be there for you… always. Everything will be fine,” said the old woman tenderly.
The young woman looked at her parents. Her anger was replaced by tears. It stread down her face.
She put down the sword in her hand and hugged her mother tightly. “Mother…”
She sobbed. “I forgot… I forgot so many things. I never go against your words. I have always listened to you. I have never done things in hatred or spite. I’ll continue to do what you have taught . Mother, Father, I miss you so much…”
“It’s okay. We are always with you,” said the old woman and patted her on the shoulders. “Rember… study well. Don’t forget to eat on ti. And don’t ever let anyone bully you.”
“I will. Don’t worry. Nobody bullies , I promise,” said the young woman and cried.
“How are your studies?” asked the woman gently.
“It’s good. I’m going to be an immortal soon.”
“Immortal?” The old woman paled. “Like those mighty immortals who wreaked havoc here?”
“No.” The young woman looked at her mother. “I’ll never be like them. I’ll still be . I still am the sa young woman who wanted to protect and shield you.
I’ll stay here and protect this place. An ordinary immortal…”
“Silly girl, you shouldn’t stay here. You should go out. You belong to the vast world outside.”
The young woman shook her head. “I don’t want to. I never wanted to beco an immortal in the eyes of the world. I studied and entered the academy just to beco an immortal for our family. I wanted to beco stronger for you and Father. I don’t need anyone’s approval. I just wanted to be here and protect you… keep you safe.”
At that mont, the old woman’s face turned pale. She looked at her daughter.
“Is it difficult to beco an immortal?”
“Yes.”
“Then, your father and I, we’ll help you. We’ll help you get there.”
Then, she closed her eyes.
In the next mont, her body began to disperse. It turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky.
At the sa ti, the middle-aged man beside her also turned into a beam of light. She could feel a hand patting her head.
After that, they both rushed toward the sky.
They dispelled the darkness and illuminated a path leading to the heavens.
At the edge of the path, there was a faint light. It prevented the darkness from engulfing everything.
The young woman stood up and looked toward the sky. At that mont, the ground beneath her feet shattered, and a new path was forged to immortality.
“How is this possible? What about your inner demon?!” Soone exclaid in the dark. “Are you really going to watch your parents die? Don’t you care about them? Don’t you regret it?”
The young woman looked up at the two beams of light. “How could my parents harm ? They loved the most. You only see so things and twist them. You don’t see how they sacrificed for , so I would be a better person. They raised well. You don’t understand what a parent’s love feels like. But I forgot so much… so much. The more I listen to you, the deeper I sink into the abyss. But my mother saw everything.”
The young woman smiled and stepped forward.
At that mont, the world changed, and a dazzling light enveloped everything.
“I can accept everything about myself… be it good or evil. I don’t care if I am admired or despised… I can accept it all. For , this is who I am, and there’s no use in escaping myself. The only thing I was worried about was my parents’ scolding.”
Every step the young woman took rejuvenated the earth. She seed to have found peace. “But they didn’t scold … not at all.” In an instant, the scene changed. Ti flowed rapidly.
The village was rebuilt, and the young woman walked to the grave.
It was the grave of her parents.
She leaned down and cleared away so weeds. She then lit so incense.
She opened her mouth to say sothing but couldn’t find the words.
Tears stread down her face.
Things changed and people changed. Nothing lasted.
Jiang Hao watched all this.
“Father, Mother, I’m leaving,” said the young woman with a smile.
After that, she stepped into the sky. She walked toward immortality.
“That is not possible. How did you do it?” said a voice from the shadows.
Jing Dajiang sighed. “She has never really dug deeper into her emotions. It seems she has done it now.”
“Has she really let go of her hatred?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Let go?” Jing Dajiang shook his head with a smile. “If she had done that, she wouldn’t have co here.”
Jiang Hao was surprised.
“I asked around. When her parents were killed, she was taken over by her inner demon. When the people from the academy found her, she was covered in wounds and drenched in blood,” Jing Dajiang said. “After that, they found out that this young woman had gone crazy. Fueled by hatred, she killed all the demonic sect mbers around her. She had even managed to kill Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators around her. It is said that the sky was filled with blood and a strong killing intent as if soone had entered the path of slaughter. Not a single demonic sect cultivator was spared. That would an the end for her.
But sohow, she was found at her parents’ grave the next day. She forgot everything when she woke up. She only rembered that she had obeyed her mother and let go of her hatred. But the seed of the inner demon still remained in her heart, and once there was an opportunity to beco an immortal, the heart demon would take root and sprout.”
Jiang Hao was surprised.
“How did she do it?”
It was sowhat extraordinary that she had forgotten everything, especially since she had also forgotten about becoming an immortal.
The inner demon was suppressed until the end. It was incredible.
“There are two explanations. One, she is extraordinary. Two, a powerful figure must have passed by and couldn’t bear to see her suffer, so they helped her out,” Jing Dajiang said..
