Chapter 993: The Soul Within the Ring
When Jiang Yantian left with his junior sister and wife, and also with Xiao Xiang'er.
Xiao Xu was still standing behind, looking very inspired.
He felt that what his senior said was absolutely right.
No pain, no gain; he was willing to endure hardship.
You have to endure a lot of hardship.
Even if it's not bitter, you have to endure it.
He wanted everyone to know that he had endured hardship along the way.
That would make his success all the more meaningful.
That way, people won't dismiss him or say he's just relying on his family.
There's really no one to rely on.
"Keep it up!" Xiao Xu encouraged himself.
Then he looked at the family elders.
Xiao Xu didn't say much; he wasn't afraid of hardship anymore.
He accepted the mockery without hesitation.
And, hehe, patience!
He believes that this forbearance and hardship can become the best whetstone.
He sharpened his somewhat dull, broken knife into a sharp, precious blade.
Xiao Xu flicked his clothes and strode towards his residence.
Today, he is a completely new version of himself.
A hardworking and resilient person.
That's right, everyone says that labor is the most glorious thing, but what good is glory? If it weren't for the heavy burden of life, who wouldn't pursue their dream of making a living?
Xiao Ji, an inspirational figure, endures hardship online.
Jiang Yantian and the others had already gone to a very large room.
The room was a combination of two rooms, and it was very large.
As soon as Jiang Yantian went inside, he released Xiao Xiang'er.
Xiao Xiang'er was thrown to the ground, and before she could struggle to get up, a blood-red aura enveloped her.
"You better behave yourself, or I'll kill you!" Xue Hai Fu Ling's voice was very soft.
Her pretty face wore a charming smile.
But his words sent a chill down one's spine.
Xiao Xiang'er originally wanted to say a few more words.
But upon hearing these words, she dared not move.
What's going on here? Everyone who comes is a powerful figure.
This woman, dressed entirely in red robes, was clearly a top-tier expert.
The aura emanating from him made Xiao Xiang'er feel weak all over, and she couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
Zhongli Qingwan sat at the table, resting her chin on her hands, looking at Jiang Yantian in front of her.
Jiang Yantian always had his back to them.
Don't know what I'm doing.
In fact, Jiang Yantian sensed the fluctuations in the ring's energy.
The remnant soul inside is awakening.
Gradually, the storage ring suddenly became slightly warm.
The cloud pattern on the ring face suddenly lit up with a pale blue halo.
An invisible force of attraction emanated from within the ring.
Like a gentle stream, it quietly wrapped around Jiang Yantian's body.
Jiang Yantian's eyes narrowed.
I understand in my heart.
woke up.
Moreover, based on the aura I sensed, there was a woman inside.
We'll see how things go.
He did not reveal the slightest aura; his entire aura was completely concealed.
Disguised as an ordinary cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
If the being within that ring were to perceive his true strength...
They would probably never show themselves easily, much less be drawn into this situation.
In the blink of an eye, a wisp of pale white mist suddenly rose around Jiang Yantian.
The mist was light yet thick, enveloping him entirely.
Cut off from all sights from the outside world.
The rustling sounds from the outside world gradually faded away.
Within the white mist, time and space seemed to be distorted, and a sense of dizziness came over me, only to vanish in an instant.
When the white mist dissipated, Jiang Yantian found himself in an unfamiliar world.
Underfoot is a path paved with bluestone slabs, with exotic flowers and plants growing on both sides.
It exudes a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.
Not far away is a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters.
Beneath the pavilion, clear water murmurs, and koi carp frolic.
In the distance, the green mountains are like ink paintings, shrouded in clouds and mist, making it a secret paradise that seems to be a secluded place.
This is the interior space of the storage ring.
Jiang Yantian stood by the pavilion, his gaze slowly sweeping over his surroundings.
This space is much larger than it appears on the surface.
Deep within, there seem to be pavilions, towers, springs, and medicinal gardens hidden.
It is far superior to ordinary storage rings.
It seems that the person inside that ring must have been a powerful being of extraordinary status in the past.
He never released a single breath.
Like an ordinary disciple who was drawn here and was somewhat bewildered.
They stood quietly in place, waiting for the person in question to appear.
A moment later, a pleasant female voice came from behind.
Her voice was gentle and soothing, carrying a touch of wisdom that comes with age.
Like a clear mountain spring flowing over blue stones, it is melodious and pleasant to the ear.
"Young friend, do you know why you are here?"
Jiang Yantian slowly turned around.
Then a white, lingering soul was seen floating not far away.
The soul appeared somewhat ethereal, yet its form was still clearly discernible.
She was a young woman dressed in white.
Young woman!
Her features were exquisite, and her face was stunningly beautiful.
A faint sadness lingered between his brows.
Her temperament was ethereal, like a celestial being from the heavens.
Even though it was just a remnant soul, only the upper half of its body was clearly visible.
Her exquisite figure is enough to make one imagine her former unparalleled beauty.
It's a pity that it's not 13, but oh oh eh is not so bad!
I just want to add Kun to her... Confucian culture.
The young woman in white slowly floated towards Jiang Yantian.
Wherever the soul passed, the space rippled slightly, carrying an ancient and pure aura.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Yantian, and she sensed him for a moment.
With a complex mix of apologies.
He said softly, "Young friend, I'm sorry to have startled you. I used my soul power to guide you inside."
Jiang Yantian lowered his eyes, pretending to be bewildered.
"I'm not surprised, but you might be."
"May I ask who you are, senior... and where this place is?"
He did not bow or address him as a senior.
Otherwise, this remnant soul might explode.
Jiang Yantian then changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly come here?"
He deliberately lowered his voice, his tone carrying just the right amount of fear.
He perfectly portrayed the image of an ordinary cultivator who had accidentally wandered into a secret realm.
The young woman in white looked at him, her eyes filled with even deeper apology.
"This is the inner space of the storage ring you wear. I am a remnant soul trapped here, named Yunxiu."
She paused, her gaze falling on the storage ring on Jiang Yantian's fingertip.
"Young friend, do you know why your cultivation has stagnated and even declined over the years?"
Jiang Yantian's heart stirred.
A look of confusion appeared on his face: "What do you mean by that, senior?"
"I...I think I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with it..."
Yunxiu could tell from his expression that he didn't want to talk about it.
Perhaps it's also a warning.
Yunxiu sighed softly, her soul body trembling slightly.
Her tone was full of self-reproach: "I'm so sorry, you got this ring by accident!"
"Actually, it's like a trap I set up; only those with the right destiny will find it."
“Over the years, all the spiritual power and cultivation you have accumulated through arduous practice have been secretly absorbed by me.”
She slowly raised her hand, a pale blue aura swirling around her fingertips.
He explained softly, "I was betrayed and my soul was destroyed. Only this wisp of my soul remains, which resides in the ring and has fallen into a deep sleep."
"Many years ago, you had the opportunity to wear this ring!"
"My remnant soul was awakened by your aura, but because the aura was exhausted, I could not manifest myself!"
"I can only secretly draw upon your cultivation and spiritual power to nourish your remnant soul and rebuild your divine soul."
"I know this is too unfair to you."
Yunxiu's eyes were filled with guilt: "You were originally a person of extraordinary talent. If I hadn't secretly absorbed your cultivation..."
"You have now become a powerful figure, instead of being trapped in the same place and suffering the scorn of others."
"Over the years, I have sensed your arduous efforts in your spiritual practice, only to have them all come to nothing. I am filled with remorse!"
"But my soul power was weak at that time, so I couldn't stop absorbing it, let alone communicate with you."
Jiang Yantian understood.
Xiao Xu's tragedy was caused by Yun Xiu.
