Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, her eyes wide with shock as if she had seen a ghost.
She could not believe that the one who had imprisoned her was actually the enigmatic Elder of the Eternal Life Sect!
Wearing a pure white mask, Shui Wuya appeared both mysterious and cold.
His gaze, piercing through the mask, seemed to see through everything.
"How does this girl know about the existence of the Eternal Life Sect?" Shui Wuya's eyes flashed with curiosity.
With a flick of his finger, an invisible wave of spiritual energy spread out.
This power, like an invisible thread, silently entered Qian Renxue's mind.
She immediately felt a powerful force invading her consciousness, trembling uncontrollably but unable to resist.
In the depths of her mind, Shui Wuya's spiritual energy delved into her memories.
He saw the ancient and kind face of Qian Daoliu, his voice echoing in her memory, explaining the origins and formidable presence of the Eternal Life Sect.
"I see."
Gradually, Shui Wuya withdrew his spiritual energy from Qian Renxue's memory.
"It was Qian Daoliu who told you about the Eternal Life Sect," Shui Wuya nodded slightly.
Qian Renxue's heart sank, trembling even more. Her grandfather had revealed the secret during the Angel's inheritance in her mind. How did Shui Wuya know this?
With a deep, contemplative gaze, Shui Wuya faced Qian Renxue's stunned expression and said indifferently, "You haven't answered my question. Does this mean you refuse to join the Eternal Life Sect?"
"Alright, I understand."
As he spoke, Shui Wuya raised his hand, aiming at Qian Renxue's forehead.
This action frightened Qian Renxue out of her wits, her face turning deathly pale.
"Elder, please don't kill me! I didn't say I disagreed!"
Qian Renxue hurriedly pleaded, her voice filled with panic and despair.
Shui Wuya raised an eyebrow, looking at her coldly.
"So, you agree?"
Qian Renxue dared not defy him and immediately knelt down. Bowing her head, she didn't dare to look Shui Wuya in the eye, her voice trembling as she said, "Junior Qian Renxue, I failed to recognize your greatness and offended you, Elder. Please forgive me!"
"I am willing to join the Eternal Life Sect, to serve loyally until death!"
"Please accept me into the Sect!"
Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had repeatedly urged her to join the Eternal Life Sect. It was his dying wish. Moreover, to save her life now, she had no other choice.
Simultaneously, a clear notification sounded in Shui Wuya's mind.
[Ding! A change in history detected, you have gained a new subsidiary force—Spirit Hall!]
[Your Eternal Life Sect has acquired a new member—the Angel God.]
Shui Wuya's heart filled with joy.
He slowly lowered his hand.
"Very well. Since you are young and have seen the error of your ways, I will overlook your pretension of being a member of the Eternal Life Sect."
His tone remained cold, but it conveyed a hint of leniency and appreciation.
"From now on, you are a member of the Eternal Life Sect."
"Thank you, Elder!" Qian Renxue exclaimed, feeling a joy akin to rebirth.
"Our Eternal Life Sect grants immortality to its members, governing the cycle of reincarnation on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."
"However, divine secrets must not be divulged. Without my permission, you must never reveal the existence of the Sect. Understood?"
Shui Wuya's voice was stern.
"I will strictly adhere to your teachings, Elder!"
Listening to Shui Wuya's teachings, Qian Renxue nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Good, from now on, you will work under my command."
"As long as you obey, the Eternal Life Sect will never mistreat you."
Shui Wuya's voice was steady and authoritative, carrying an undeniable power.
"Thank you for taking me in, Elder. I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly!"
Qian Renxue expressed her gratitude with a respectful and earnest face.
Seeing that Qian Renxue had finally been subdued, Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er exchanged a smile, their eyes reflecting mutual understanding and relief.
In the depths of Spirit Hall, within a secret chamber.
The chamber was filled with mysterious energy, and the walls emitted a faint blue glow, giving the entire space a deep, mystical ambiance.
Bibi Dong sat on a smooth stone platform, her eyes closed as she immersed herself in cultivation.
She took several deep breaths, gradually adjusting her breathing to bring her body into a state of utmost tranquility.
The power of her spirit flowed around her, forming a faint blue protective shield.
Her consciousness began to transcend the constraints of her physical body, entering a spiritual state.
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly, her heart tense.
The next trial was the ninth divine test, the one that tested her emotions and desires—the most challenging trial: the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!
She took a deep breath, silently chanting an incantation in her heart, and her spirit gradually merged into the illusion.
An ethereal white world appeared before her eyes, and soon, a familiar figure emerged in her sight.
That familiar voice echoed in Bibi Dong's ears.
"Dong'er, you're finally here."
Bibi Dong's heart trembled, her face showing shock.
"It's you... Xiaogang!"
"How are you here?"
Yu Xiaogang was Bibi Dong's first love, a man she could never forget.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and walked up to Bibi Dong, gently holding her hand. "I've been waiting for you, waiting for us to reunite."
A flood of emotions surged in Bibi Dong's heart. She gazed deeply at Yu Xiaogang. "Xiaogang, I've been thinking of you too."
Yu Xiaogang, holding Bibi Dong's hand tenderly, said, "Dong'er, come with me. We can start anew and live a life truly meant for us."
Bibi Dong's heart was torn. She knew this was just an illusion, yet she couldn't resist the feelings and warmth it evoked.
"I..."
Bibi Dong hesitated, unsure how to respond.
"Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."
Yu Xiaogang gently stroked Bibi Dong's hand. "We can start over and live a happy life."
Bibi Dong felt a strange sensation cloud her mind, a peculiar feeling that dulled her rationality.
She responded emotionally, "Alright, I'm willing."
Suddenly, the dreamscape underwent a dramatic transformation.
Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang were now sitting in a cozy living room.
The warm light illuminated their smiling faces.
"Dong'er, look at how sweetly our baby is sleeping, like an angel."
Yu Xiaogang said softly, his eyes full of affection.
Bibi Dong turned her head slightly, looking at the sleeping child, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Yes, our child is truly adorable."
Bibi Dong responded softly.
Yu Xiaogang gently held Bibi Dong's hand, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"Dong'er, we will always live happily together, forever."
"Yes, Xiaogang, we will always be together."
Bibi Dong murmured, deeply immersed in this illusory world.
