From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

After reading about the rise and fall of the Heavenly Heart Sect, Zhang Yu felt a surge of emotion. He thought it was over, but to his surprise, a man in a green robe holding a sword appeared in the river of memories at the end.

The man looked at Zhang Yu.

"Now that you have merged with the will of Heaven, you must bear the consequences."

After saying that, the man slashed out with his sword, and a sword light slashed towards Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu had no way to dodge it, and the sword light was directly imprinted into the depths of his soul.

It was an invisible little sword.

It was painless and he felt nothing, but Zhang Yu had a gut feeling that the invisible sword deep within his soul could annihilate him at any moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yu opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

There was no joy in his eyes at obtaining the Heavenly Heart Illusionary Star Song, but rather a deep worry; his life had been inexplicably taken over by some powerful being.

"Hold!"

"What place is that?"

"And who is the man in the blue robe?"

Zhang Yu was filled with questions.

A moment later, he looked at Su Lingxi beside him. Her life force was already very weak, and she was about to die.

"You fucking can't die!" Zhang Yu cursed, and hurriedly took out a drop of five-hundred-year-old stalactite liquid and gave it to Su Lingxi to drink, protecting the last bit of life in her.

Only Su Lingxi could possibly explain what just happened; Zhang Yu couldn't let her die.

Inside a room at Shijia Farm.

The Shi family physician had already treated Su Lingxi's injuries, and her heart was protected by the rutin, so she did not die immediately.

Whether she can wake up or not depends on herself.

Zhang Yu frowned as he looked at Su Lingxi lying on the bed. Her fate had changed.

Name: Su Lingxi

Age: 17

[Cultivation Level: Peak of Transformation Realm]

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Extraordinary]

[Destiny: None]

[Constitution: Qingyun Yinti]

Huh?

Why did her destiny of heaven and earth disappear?

Zhang Yu looked puzzled.

"Could this damned Heavenly Fate have been transferred to me?" Zhang Yu was very worried and immediately checked the system panel.

Unfortunately, his destiny remains shrouded in mystery, though he can vaguely sense that something has been changed and that he has borne some kind of karmic consequence.

Three hours later, Su Lingxi woke up. She looked at Zhang Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a furrowed brow, and suddenly smiled.

A smile that could topple a city.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yu was not in the mood to appreciate the other woman's beauty.

"What is that Heavenly Heart?" Zhang Yu asked.

"The Earth-grade cultivation technique, Heavenly Heart Illusion Star Melody, isn't that what you've always wanted?" Su Lingxi replied.

At this moment, Su Lingxi felt relaxed, as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Her previously aloof and melancholic demeanor transformed into one of playfulness and liveliness.

She still looks the same, but the feeling she gives off is different.

"Who is that man in blue robes with the sword?" Zhang Yu asked. "What karma am I burdened with?"

"You really did see that man. I won my bet." Su Lingxi smiled. "You are now the leader of the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"What?" Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Our Heavenly Heart Sect has a very special lineage. Each generation's leader must swallow the Heavenly Heart, and there are only two possible outcomes after swallowing the Heavenly Heart."

"The two kinds?" Zhang Yu asked.

"The first possibility is that he will die from an explosion, which is 99% likely," Su Lingxi said.

"Damn it!" Zhang Yu wanted to curse, which meant he had just narrowly escaped death.

"The second way is to meet the man in the blue robe, receive the inheritance, and bear the karma." Su Lingxi continued, "Now you are the leader of the Heavenly Heart Sect, and you bear the responsibility of its revival."

"What if I don't become the leader?" Zhang Yu asked.

"According to the records of the founders of the Tianxin Sect, those who refuse to bear the consequences will have their souls scattered."

"Just as I thought." Zhang Yu thought to himself, because he had a vague feeling about it, and now he had received confirmation from Su Lingxi.

Zhang Yu and Su Lingxi talked for an hour, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Heavenly Heart Sect in detail.

Then he became depressed.

It's painful yet pleasurable!

Name: Zhang Yu

[Earth-grade cultivation technique, Heavenly Heart Illusionary Star Melody: Soul Tempering Chapter (Beginner Level)]

He obtained the soul-tempering method he had been longing for, but a special thing appeared on the system panel.

【Cause and Effect Reincarnation: Revitalize the Heavenly Heart Sect and Awe the Vast Ocean Regions of the East China Sea (Remaining Time: 17/60 Years)】

Zhang Yu guessed that 60 years was a Jiazi (甲字).

What is 17 years? Su Lingxi is 17 years old this year. Could it be that I have taken on her karma? Changed her fate? So her destiny of being destined for oblivion has disappeared?

Fuck!

Zhang Yu felt an urge to kill Su Lingxi.

Su Lingxi felt relieved of a heavy burden. She no longer wanted to die. Seeing the killing intent in Zhang Yu's eyes, she immediately said, "Young Master Zhang, if you want to revitalize the Heavenly Heart Sect, keeping me alive will be beneficial to you. In the eyes of the people of the East Sea, I am the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"Not enough!" Zhang Yu said coldly.

"I've been operating in the Western Wilderness Continent for ten years, and the Heavenly Heart Sect has 100,000 low-level members," Su Lingxi said hurriedly.

"Not enough!" Zhang Yu was furious. He had inexplicably been burdened with the karma of the Heavenly Heart Sect and had been branded deep in his soul by a powerful being.

"I will do everything in my power to help you rebuild the Heavenly Heart Sect." Su Lingxi said solemnly, "I want revenge!"

She shed the karma of reviving the Tianxin Sect and becoming a powerful force in the East China Sea, but she did not forget the tragic deaths of her master, senior brothers, and others. She wanted revenge, not for the Tianxin Sect, but for her master, senior brothers, and others.

Zhang Yu was right about one thing: her life wasn't just her own.

She has her own burdens to bear!

I will live on with the lives of my master, my fellow disciples, and others, and take revenge!

[Exceptional comprehension]

[Unvoiced rhyme style]

Considering Su Lingxi's comprehension and physique, Zhang Yu ultimately refrained from taking action.

"Would you be willing to become my maid from now on?"

"I'm willing, but I have one condition," Su Lingxi said.

"speak!"

"I will only serve as a maid and will not serve you in bed," Su Lingxi said, staring into Zhang Yu's eyes.

"I have no interest in you." Zhang Yu got up and walked out of the room.

Master Shi Cangyue was drinking tea and waiting for him in the outer living room.

"Master!" Zhang Yu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"How is it? Has the other party spoken?" Shi Cangyue asked.

Zhang Yu did not hide anything, because Shi Cangyue had been so good to him that he was fully worthy of being called his master.

"Reporting to Master, Su Lingxi has handed over the Heavenly Heart Illusionary Star Melody," Zhang Yu said.

"Great!" Shi Cangyue was overjoyed.

If he had the Soul Tempering Technique, he could advance further even without the Meridian Opening Method.

Zhang Yu immediately recited the soul-tempering method of the Heavenly Heart Illusion Star Song, a total of 1,800 characters of incantation and mental techniques.

"Master, the entire Heavenly Heart Illusion Star Song is burdened with cause and effect. I can only tell you the method of tempering the soul," Zhang Yu said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"That's enough. This Soul Tempering Technique is enough." Shi Cangyue couldn't hide his joy.

"After I've dealt with the Sima family's affairs for you, I'll be returning to the academy for seclusion. You should also cultivate diligently." Shi Cangyue was a martial arts fanatic. Because he lacked the cultivation method to open his meridians, he bravely ventured into the Central Continent years ago, but ultimately returned defeated.

After more than a decade of seclusion, feeling utterly disheartened, he decided to find a disciple to inherit his mantle. Little did he expect that his disciple, Zhang Yu, would obtain a Soul Tempering Method that was extremely precious even in the Central Plains.

His long-extinguished path of martial arts suddenly regained a glimmer of light.

The road ahead now offers the possibility of continuing.
