"Where am I?" Ye Jingyu opened his eyes to see a girl of breathtaking beauty, possessing a pair of violet irises, standing before him, and asked the question very simply…
"Did I die? Are you a fairy from heaven?" Before the girl could answer, Ye Jingyu muttered to himself again…
"I…"
"No, that's not right. Fairies should have flowing black hair and flowing white robes. How can a fairy have purple hair? But, you are really beautiful…" As the girl was about to speak, Ye Jingyu cut her off directly…
His gaze was still one of utter confusion. To be stabbed in the back by a subordinate he trusted—no one would take that well…
"You…" The girl, upon hearing Ye Jingyu call her beautiful, felt no joy; instead, a surge of fury erupted…
From childhood, who dared speak to her in such a manner? Even the most powerful figures in her own clan treated her with utmost respect. Yet, this fellow dared to tease her—an unforgivable offense…
"Heh heh, I know, I’m already dead, and my consciousness is about to dissipate. But before it vanishes, being able to see someone this beautiful makes it worthwhile… Hey girl, I'm dying, can you stop wearing that sour face? Give this young master a smile?" Ye Jingyu ruthlessly interrupted the girl again, his tone frivolous, though his eyes remained vacant…
"You…" At this moment, the girl’s anger exploded fully. Girl… Girl? He actually called her girl and asked her to smile for him… Unbearable, absolutely unbearable…
"You are not dead yet, but I will make you die immediately…" The furious girl disregarded everything else. A streak of silver light shot out from behind her, followed by a longsword descending from the air, aiming directly for Ye Jingyu’s heart…
Feeling the power of that longsword, every hair on Ye Jingyu’s body stood on end, an icy chill sweeping over his entire being…
That was naked killing intent, killing intent steeped in extreme rage…
How could a dead person… (For the full novel, visit: [website details omitted]) …possibly still feel killing intent?
In an instant, Ye Jingyu knew he wasn't dead. Though he didn't understand the rapidly approaching sword, he instinctively dodged sideways…
At this moment, he clearly felt the changes within his body. A slight movement of his frame propelled him tens of meters away. His reaction speed, his leaping ability—wasn't it several times greater than before?
However, before Ye Jingyu could marvel at the changes in his body, he saw the longsword fall straight down, striking the spot where he had just been. Immediately, a thunderous boom echoed, and the ground where it landed was blasted into a pit five meters in diameter…
Seeing the absolute devastating power of that strike, Ye Jingyu’s expression instantly changed…
This result required the full might of at least a Grandmaster realm expert. Yet, this young woman seemed to achieve it so casually. What realm had her power reached?
"Hey, hey… We have no grudge, why attack me the moment we meet?" Knowing the opponent’s strength was likely far beyond his own, Ye Jingyu couldn’t be bothered to ponder how this young girl could possess such formidable power. He shouted out directly…
Despite feeling the infinite changes within him, feeling his power multiplied countless times, he still didn't wish to fight this unknown girl…
And faintly, Ye Jingyu sensed that this girl might have saved him…
But he didn't understand: if she saved him, why did she try to kill him afterward?
"Hehe, Big Brother, you shouldn't tease Sister…" At that moment, a crisp voice drifted from within the scimitar…
Ye Jingyu froze. A gleam of light flickered between his eyebrows, and he instantly pierced the true essence of the scimitar, discovering a little girl, no more than ten years old, nestled within the blade itself…
"A Blade Spirit?" Ye Jingyu was greatly alarmed. Although he had heard that some divine artifacts possessed their own sentience, he never expected to witness it firsthand…
What confused him more was why this girl used a longsword summoned from nowhere instead of wielding this scimitar…
"You… You can see my sister?" The purple-haired girl, hearing Ye Jingyu’s words and seeing the silver light emanating from his brow, showed even deeper shock…
Her sister's physical body was destroyed, and this Purple Moon Saber was her natal magic treasure. Not only was it exceptionally sharp, but it was also inscribed with countless seals, sufficient to ensure her sister’s soul remained safe within.
Furthermore, unless her sister willed it, no one else—not even those martial artists with awakened Heavenly Eyes, nor the Soul Masters—could possibly see through the tens of thousands of seals placed upon the Purple Moon Saber…
Yet, this fellow before her saw her sister residing within it at a single glance. How… how was this possible?
She couldn't know that the Heavenly Eye between Ye Jingyu's brows was formed from his soul-essence, possessing the innate divine ability to see through origins. No matter the myriad seals or myriad transformations, it could directly perceive the fundamental source, almost like Sun Wukong’s Fiery Eyes of Truth…
"Your sister? You actually used your sister's soul to refine a Blade Spirit? Aren't you utterly ruthless?" Upon hearing the girl confirm that the spirit confined in the blade was her sister, Ye Jingyu’s face changed. He had heard of many Blade Spirits forged from the souls of various animals or humans, sealed within weapons, but he never imagined such cruelty existed in the world—using one's own sister's soul to forge a Blade Spirit…
A murderous intent emanated from within him…
"No, Big Brother, this Purple Moon Saber is my natal magic treasure. My physical body was destroyed, so my soul can only reside here. Sister is taking me to find the ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus to reconstruct my body…" Sensing Ye Jingyu's killing intent, the little girl inside the blade laughed lightly…
"Uh… reconstruct the physical body?" Ye Jingyu was aghast. Soul Masters, upon reaching the Manifestation stage, could have their souls leave their bodies. But once the body died, unless aided by some powerful magic treasure, the soul would eventually dissipate. Only by reaching the Soul Immortal realm could they survive indefinitely…
But even those Soul Immortals could only perform body usurpation or reincarnation; none could reconstruct their physical body. Only figures who reached the legendary True Immortal realm might possibly condense a new body…
Could it be that this little girl before him was a legendary True Immortal?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the look Ye Jingyu gave the little girl became utterly strange. If such a young girl was a True Immortal expert, then had he, along with the Grandmasters and Martial Saints, allowed dogs to eat their brains?
