Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 86 Golden Core Phenomenon
He muttered to himself, his thoughts churning like a surging tide.

"Reborn? Yes, I really have transmigrated and been reborn! At this moment, I am no longer the Shi Qinghan of the past, nor the original Shi Qinghan of this place. Now, I have become a completely new and unique Shi Qinghan!"

Shi Qinghan closed her eyes tightly, trying hard to recall every detail of the past.

"I seem to have made a promise to someone that I would protect them... But who is that person?"

Suddenly, a beautiful and refined face seemed to appear before his eyes. The woman had exquisite features and was gentle and charming.

"Ah! So it's my little sister!" Shi Qinghan suddenly realized, and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

"Little sister, you saved me from the brink of death back then. I, Shi Qinghan, will never forget this kindness."

From this day forward, my life belongs to you. No matter what hardships and dangers we encounter, I will never give up! I will protect you and ensure your lifelong peace and happiness!

Shi Qinghan suddenly came to his senses and saw that colorful auspicious clouds had appeared in the sky at some unknown time.

The auspicious clouds were layered and intertwined, resembling a magnificent painting.

Amidst these auspicious clouds, a golden figure appeared and disappeared. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a majestic and imposing dragon!

"Golden Dragon! Wonderful Sound, your disciple is truly extraordinary!" Venerable Danhua, witnessing this scene, nodded repeatedly, his face filled with amazement, his tone serious and earnest.

Venerable Miaoyin also said with a face full of satisfaction: "Yes, that's true. We really owe a lot to Qingluo this time. If it weren't for her discerning eye in bringing back Shi Qinghan, our Wuhua Sect would probably have missed out on such a talented and beautiful person."

In my opinion, Shi Qinghan is not only pure-hearted and resolute, but also exceptionally talented. Given time, he will surely become a pillar of our Wuhua Sect, adding icing on the cake for our sect!

The rain fell like silk threads, as if it were the gentlest caress of nature, descending as scheduled upon this mysterious and ancient land.

Shi Qinghan lay quietly in the deep pit. As the rain fell, the coolness seeped into his skin, and the gruesome wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, all his injuries had disappeared, and he was filled with a new vitality, as if he had been reborn.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He gently moved his body, his bones making a crisp cracking sound.

Shi Qinghan's eyes were clear. He took out a set of robes from his storage bag and put them on. He looked dashing and smiled knowingly.

With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, rushing towards where everyone was.

From afar, his excited voice rang out: "Master, Senior Uncle, Sect Master, and everyone else, Qinghan has succeeded!"

Shi Qinghan landed steadily in front of Venerable Miaoyin, knelt down on both knees, and respectfully performed a grand salute.

He stood up, turned to face everyone present, and bowed deeply once again.

Venerable Miaoyin nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Hmm, Shi Qinghan, you are quite good. Today, I bestow upon you the Daoist name Mochen. I hope that you will remain humble and continue to strive for excellence."

Know that the path of cultivation is long and endless; only by forging ahead bravely and holding fast to one's true nature can one achieve something.

"Thank you, Master! I, Mo Chen, will certainly follow your teachings!" Shi Qinghan kowtowed deeply. He rose and walked to Gu Shihan, who was standing to the side, his eyes full of smiles, saying, "Little sister, thank you so much for your help this time!"

Gu Shihan smiled slightly and said softly, "Brother, congratulations on successfully forming your core! You should hurry back to your cave to consolidate your cultivation. We'll meet again after you emerge from seclusion!"

"Alright!" Shi Qinghan replied, bowed to everyone in farewell, and then turned and left, flying towards the direction of Immortal Sword Peak.

Gu Shihan watched Shi Qinghan's departing figure, a slight smile of satisfaction appearing on her lips. After greeting her master and the others, she boarded her flying sword and headed towards Danyun Peak.

After returning to Danyun Peak, Gu Shihan first took care of some matters on the mountain before turning around and going into her room.

Instead of entering the space, she simply collapsed onto the soft, comfortable bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In a hazy state, Gu Shihan felt as if she were being pulled by a mysterious and powerful force, falling into a strange world once again.

A woman with a graceful figure and alluring face gradually appeared before my eyes.

She wore a fiery red dress, like a red spider lily blooming in the dark night, exuding a fatal attraction.

However, the woman's gaze toward Gu Shihan was full of mockery and contempt.

Her voice was alluring and captivating, yet every word carried an air of utter disdain.

"Gu Shihan, you are nothing but an insignificant little character in this world, a pitiful worm destined to become a stepping stone on the road to success for others."

No matter how hard you cultivate, no matter what realm you reach, in the end you're only paving the way for my ascension to immortality.

The woman tilted her head slightly, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and continued, "Today, I'm in a bad mood, and it's all because of you. Who told you to meddle in my business, ruin my plans, and damage my reputation?"

Therefore, you must pay a heavy price for this. That price is—you shouldn't even exist in this world! You were just cannon fodder! Do you agree, Gu Shihang?

At this moment, Gu Shihan was still in a daze. The word "cannon fodder" kept echoing in her mind, and she seemed to have lost the ability to think.

After a long while, she seemed to wake from a dream and muttered to herself, "No! How could I be content to just be cannon fodder?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: "A book!"

Right, Gu Shihan remembered that she was just a super cannon fodder character in a book.

But now I am no longer the cannon fodder in the book who can be manipulated by others. Haven't I changed my fate?
As an individual with independent consciousness and soul, how could I easily accept such a tragic fate?

The scene shifts, and the contents of the book are laid bare before your eyes: Gu Yufei is indeed a person of destiny, and Gu Shihan is indeed cannon fodder destined to die young...

Must we only become insignificant cannon fodder, manipulated by others?
No, I absolutely don't want that! I want to be the heroine who controls her own destiny!

The female lead? Will it be someone like Gu Yufei?
No, no, no! That kind of shady "leading lady" is not what I'm looking for at all...
