As the Disciples finished selecting their Magical Artifacts, the cultivation atmosphere within the Immortal Palace reached a new climax.
Every Disciple was putting in their utmost effort to make a final sprint in the last half-month.
And amidst this torrent, there was one person who had been cultivating the entire time.
Inside the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda, in a secluded area.
Spiritual Qi misted here, and a prayer mat lay on the ground.
On the prayer mat, Liu Ruyan sat quietly with her eyes closed.
Unlike the earth-shattering phenomena when Gu Luoli broke through, Liu Ruyan's Breakthrough appeared exceptionally peaceful.
Her cultivation had long since naturally reached the critical point of Peak Foundation Establishment during the long years spent inside the pagoda.
At this moment, she was waiting for the most opportune time!
Reincarnation Dao Body, memories of three lifetimes.
This brought her not only an advantage in cultivation experience but also a unique perception of "Karma."
She knew that her Golden Core would also be extraordinary.
Time passed bit by bit.
Within the pagoda, there was no sun or moon, only an eternal twilight.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ruyan, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly had her eyelashes flutter slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Deep within those eyes, which were always gentle and calm, countless light and shadows seemed to flow at this moment, as memory fragments of three lifetimes of Reincarnation flashed by like a revolving lantern.
Eventually, all the light and shadows settled, transforming into a clarity and resolve that saw through the ways of the world.
"Now is the time!"
She whispered to herself, her voice clearly audible in the silent space.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor did it trigger a tide of Spiritual Qi.
Liu Ruyan simply and slowly formed a strange hand seal with both hands, placing them before her Dantian.
The moment the hand seal was formed—
"Buzz..."
An invisible and intangible strange ripple quietly emanated outward with her as the center.
This ripple was not intense, but it carried a profundity that pointed directly toward the Great Dao.
It seemed to penetrate the barrier of time, connecting with some mysterious trajectory of the Great Dao.
The surrounding pure Spiritual Qi, as if summoned, poured into her body in an endless stream.
Her aura began to climb at a steady and firm pace.
There were no obstacles, no stagnation.
Everything was incredibly smooth.
However, at the very moment the spiritual power within her Dantian began to condense and compress, about to form a core—
A sudden change occurred!
Deep within Liu Ruyan's Sea of Consciousness, scenes of memories belonging to her previous two lifetimes surged out uncontrollably!
The memories of two lifetimes, two completely different life paths, crashed against her mind like a tide.
Liu Ruyan's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
The memories of the two lifetimes were too vivid—the hatred, the regrets, the unwillingness... various emotions intertwined, attempting to pull her into the vortex of the past.
"I am Liu Ruyan..."
She gritted her teeth and silently recited her own name in her heart, trying to steady her mind.
"In this life, I am a part of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, the Second Disciple under Master..."
However, the impact of her past life memories was too violent.
Just as her consciousness was gradually blurring, and she was about to sink into the past—
A cold and familiar figure appeared in her heart without warning.
Silver hair like snow, eyes like cold stars, possessing peerless elegance.
That was Master, Gu Han.
It was Master who had rescued her from that cave in the Wan Jue Mountain Range, bestowed upon her the Samsara Dao Scripture, and gave her a new life.
It was Master who allowed her to feel unprecedented warmth, respect, and... belonging in this lifetime.
"In this life, I have Master..."
