Arc 3: Part 2
Healing Card: A card imbued with a mysterious power. As long as the individual is not dead, it can heal all wounds! However, if limbs or organs are lost, they wouldn't regrow.
Terrified and crying, 666 chose to use it. A bright light appeared in the air and seeped into the snow stained red with blood, flowing into the injured girl buried under the snow.
Tong Su, in the throes of near-death pain, suddenly felt a warm current pooling into her body. The intense pain throughout her whole body started to gradually cease, her wounds were visibly and quickly healing up.
"666, what is happening?"
Tong Su pulled herself out of the snow, teeth clenched as the pain still pierced her bones and meridians, making her unsteady on her feet.
She managed to find a clean patch of snow to sit on, reached to her back and felt her wound. It was completely healed, the skin was smooth, without a single scar.
If not for the torn and knife-slashed dress on her back, and the blood-soaked ground, she would almost doubt if she had been dreaming earlier.
Wiping away tears, 666 stammered, 【I... I... I will immediately block the pain for you, miss, and then transmit this world's background data!】
As soon as the words fell, countless scenarios, like filmstrips of a movie, began to spin in Tong Su's mind.
The original owner of this body was named Bai Tong, the legitimate disciple of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, Jing Yang Peak lineage.
She was originally a beggar in the mortal world. During her youth, she happened to meet Immortal Master Tian Xuanzi of the Jing Yang Peak, who was visiting the mortal realm. Tian Xuanzi discovered she had innate wood spiritual roots and took her back to the sect.
Despite the opposition from others, Tian Xuanzi took her as a disciple on behalf of his deceased master. Hence, she became Tian Xuanzi’s junior sister.
The one who brutally hurt her earlier, Senior Sister Feng, is the most beloved disciple of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace’s leader, Feng Yin Yue.
Although the original owner had good abilities, her mind was lacking. She was still like a naive child even in her teen years. Nonetheless, with her senior brother’s protection, no one in the Ziwei Heavenly Palace dared to ridicule or humiliate her.
After ten years of hard training, the original owner managed to reach the early foundation-building stage, making her one of the new emerging talents in the world of cultivation.
Her senior brother, Tian Xuanzi, is one of the most powerful cultivators in the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. He has already reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation. Despite his ethereal Daoist name, he is bloodthirsty and uncontrollably violent.
Tian Xuanzi is the greatest sword cultivator among all practitioners. With his Chi Ming Sword, revered throughout the world, he is approaching the status of the number one person in Daoism.
Logically, with such a protective and powerful brother guarding her, Bai Tong should have never been so ruthlessly humiliated.
However, the course of the world is unpredictable. No one in the world of immortals would have imagined that Tian Xuanzi, who was only one step away from ascending, would suddenly betray his path and fall into demonhood.
The Immortal Lord of Jing Yang ceased to exist, and all that remains now is the demonic lord of the Underworld.
The leader of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, Lu Han Yuanjun, was furious, joining forces with more than ten of the sect's ancestors who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage to attack Tian Xuanzi, defeating him and casting him down into the demon cave.
Their sect ordered an investigation into Jing Yang Peak, but to save face, they strictly suppressed the news of Tian Xuanzi's fall into demonhood, instead secretly arresting and imprisoning all disciples belonging to Tian Xuanzi's lineage.
Disoriented and panicked, Bai Tong encountered her consistently kind senior sister, Feng Yin Yue. Confused, she left the mountain gate only to have her spiritual roots brutally stripped by Feng Yin Yue who then abandoned her in the snowy wilderness.
The spiritual roots are the foundation of a cultivator. A cultivator forcibly stripped of their spiritual roots is as if a mortal was cruelly deprived of their skeletal and nervous systems!
All of her cultivation dissolved into nothingness. She could no longer cultivate, and her physical condition was even worse than a mortal's. It could be said that she had become completely disabled.
Any normal cultivator, afflicted with such a heavy injury wouldn't survive. Yet Bai Tong, possessing the strongest lifeline, who is of the wood spirit root, and with a sliver of protective aura left by Tian Xuanzi guarding her heart, gritted her teeth and held on until the sect's pursuers found her and saved her back to the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.
However, upon being brought back, Bai Tong indeed descended into a real hell.
