Su Chun sensed an immense crisis and did everything in her power to keep the other person away.
Ding Yuqin began to devour Su Chun with her own consciousness.
Under normal circumstances, the consciousness of a cultivator is far stronger than that of a mortal.
Unfortunately, in order to escape back then, Ding Yuqin fought against a powerful enemy, which depleted a large amount of her golden core essence, resulting in only a small number of remnant souls surviving.
Numerous flower petals adhered to Su Chun's body, completely enveloping her.
As Su Chun's consciousness was about to be swallowed up, the aura of death filled her heart, and her consciousness began to sluggish, as if she would fall into a deep sleep at any moment.
"Am I going to die? No, I don't want to die like this in this life, I want to live!"
Su Chun struggled with all her might, and at that moment, the originally white space of consciousness began to radiate with vitality.
Ding Yuqin immediately let out an incredulous exclamation.
"Impossible! How could this be? How could a twelve-year-old girl have such a powerful soul? No... you... you still retain memories of your past life! No, no, no..."
The petals that enveloped Su Chun suddenly dispersed and were then absorbed into her body.
Ding Yuqin's attempt to possess Su Chun failed, and she was instead devoured by Su Chun.
Ding Yuqin's memories, techniques, and experiences flooded into Su Chun's mind like a burst dam.
The Xuan Yue Sect's mountain gate, the cultivation techniques, the tribulation during the Core Formation stage, the battles with the He Huan Sect cultivators, the despair during the escape... countless images flashed before her eyes, so clear as if she had personally experienced them.
Su Chun clutched her head in anguish, feeling as if her brain was about to explode from the overwhelming amount of information.
Possession carries risks.
If Ding Yuqin had more of her golden core essence and a more complete soul, even if Su Chun had lived two lives, he would still be unable to resist.
It can only be said that Ding Yuqin was destined to suffer this calamity.
Chapter 2 Reverse Possession
Shortly after Su Chun's backlash caused the cultivator to faint, night gradually fell.
When the owner of Huichuntang in Qingniu Town realized that Su Chun had not returned, he sent a message to Su Chun's family, who then gathered a group of people to go up the mountain to look for Su Chun.
But after searching all night, they couldn't find Su Chun. Instead, they discovered bear tracks in the area where Su Chun was gathering herbs.
So everyone in the family assumed that Su Chun had been eaten by a bear.
She didn't know how much time had passed. Su Chun's eyelashes trembled, and her consciousness, like cotton wool submerged in ice water, struggled to float upwards.
She felt a warm touch on her face and suddenly opened her eyes, only to meet a pair of watery dog eyes.
It was the same puppy they had rescued yesterday, and it was looking at Su Chun with an innocent expression.
Su Chun casually patted the puppy's head, then propped herself up on the ground and sat up. She could no longer feel any pain; instead, a warm current flowed slowly through her limbs and bones.
"Trying to possess me, but I turned the tables on you? Is this what you call reaping what you sow? It's actually a lucky break for me. I never imagined that my chance to defy fate would be to possess a cultivator?"
At that moment, my temples throbbed, and countless unfamiliar images flashed before my eyes.
The misty, ethereal mountains and pavilions, the cultivators in brocade robes flying on their swords, the golden runes shimmering on ancient books—she shook her head. Those memories belonging to Ding Yuqin were like shattered glass, slowly merging with her life trajectory.
This is Su Chun's memory merging with Ding Yuqin's memory, but it is not yet fully merged.
Normally, when a Core Formation cultivator possesses another's body, their cultivation level would drop to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Su Chun only retained the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, which means that Ding Yuqin had very little power left.
Furthermore, gaining Ding Yuqin's memories allowed Su Chun to rediscover the world.
This world is even more mysterious than she imagined.
Ding Yuqin's sect, Xuan Yue Sect, is one of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom. She is the eldest disciple of Qu Xinyao, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in Xuan Yue Sect. At her peak, she possessed the cultivation of the Core Formation Peak and was known as the number one Core Formation cultivator in Xuan Yue Sect.
More than a hundred years ago, she went out to find rare and precious materials to help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and unexpectedly encountered the Demonic Old Demon Qianqing, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.
The founder of the Xuan Yue Sect was named Fairy Yan Yue. She came from the He Huan Sect, but due to a disagreement with the leader of the He Huan Sect at the time, she left the He Huan Sect and came to the Yue Kingdom to establish the Xuan Yue Sect.
Therefore, the Hehuan Sect regards the Xuan Yue Sect as traitors. The cultivation methods of the two sects are from the same lineage, and the Thousand Emotions Old Demon wants to capture Ding Yuqin to replenish her cultivation.
Ding Yuqin naturally fought back desperately, but her opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator. There's a saying in the cultivation world: those below the Nascent Soul stage are all ants.
She paid a heavy price and, with the help of a protective magic item given to her by her master, managed to escape from the other party.
But she was seriously injured and her life hung by a thread. In order to survive, she used some means to lure woodcutters and hunters up the mountain into the cave and drain their life force, trying to use their lives to sustain her own.
Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe, and after enduring for several days, she ultimately succumbed to her physical death.
Therefore, Ding Yuqin is not exactly a good person.
After calming herself down, she glanced at the belongings left behind by Ding Yuqin.
First is a Sumeru Ring, a magical artifact used by cultivators to store items.
This ring can keep perishable items fresh for a long time.
Su Chun opened the Sumeru Ring according to Ding Yuqin's memory, and let her divine sense go in to take a look.
This is a storage magic treasure belonging to a peak Core Formation cultivator. It contains a large amount of spirit stones, various rare and precious materials, as well as pills, cultivation techniques, and magic weapons.
The most precious item inside is a Nascent Soul level magic treasure called the Yin-Yang Harmony Ring.
Ding Yuqin escaped from the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivator thanks to this Nascent Soul-level magic treasure.
Unfortunately, with Su Chun's current magical power, he was simply unable to activate such a magical treasure. A magical treasure of this level could only be used by those at least at the Core Formation stage.
"Hahaha, these are all mine now."
Su Chun was quite happy.
"Wait a minute, now that I have everything Ding Yuqin has, if I go to the Xuan Yue Sect as her, will they mistake me for Ding Yuqin?"
While excited, Su Chun had a bold idea: to impersonate someone else.
Such cases of a possessor being possessed by another are rare, but once the two merge, they become indistinguishable, and cultivators cannot distinguish who is who through fluctuations of divine sense.
Although she could live a decent life as a rogue cultivator thanks to what Ding Yuqin left behind, her life wouldn't be too bad.
The problem is that her aptitude is extremely poor, with a pseudo-spiritual root of five attributes. If she wants to continue cultivating, she needs a lot of cultivation resources. Otherwise, let alone forming a core or a nascent soul, it's questionable whether she can even reach the foundation stage.
However, if he went to the Xuan Yue Sect, relying on Ding Yuqin's identity, he should have no problem getting back to the Foundation Establishment stage by living a life of ease.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Chun decided to go to the Xuan Yue Sect.
She took away all of Ding Yuqin's belongings. As for the remains, Su Chun tried to mobilize the power within her body and struck Ding Yuqin's remains with a palm.
A ball of pale green energy condensed in Su Chun's palm, which she then struck at the skeleton, shattering it into dust.
"Is this the power of a cultivator?"
Su Chun looked at her hand with a surprised expression.
"Hmph! You want to possess me? Then I can't send you back to the Xuan Yue Sect. From now on, I am you, and everything you have is mine. You delivered this to me yourself, so don't blame me."
After doing all this, Su Chun glanced at the celestial cave above her head, and then took out a pink petal-shaped magic artifact from her Sumeru Ring.
This is a flying artifact. Qi Refining cultivators cannot fly on their own and can only rely on flying artifacts.
Although she had Ding Yuqin's memories to assist her, she was not the real Ding Yuqin after all. This first time she operated it, she was a bit clumsy, like a beginner, and not at all like the Core Formation cultivator she used to be.
But given time, she is sure she can master everything about Ding Yuqin.
After the petal-shaped flying artifact appeared, it hovered in front of Su Chun. Su Chun carefully stepped onto it while holding the puppy, then manipulated the artifact to slowly ascend, finally leaving the cave and seeing the light of day again.
"Ah... it's true what they say, 'When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you.' Indeed, opportunities always come with risks."
After Su Chun sighed and looked down at the cave below, he summoned a magic artifact that could be used by those at the Qi Refining Realm, called the Jade Soul Pearl, and struck the entrance of the cave heavily, causing it to collapse.
After destroying the place, Su Chun left satisfied.
But instead of immediately returning to Qingniu Town, she searched in the Kapok Mountains and soon found the black bear that had chased her not long ago.
"You stinking bear, I've found you! Die!"
After finding the black bear, Su Chun said he was going to kill it.
The black bear was stunned to see the human it had been chasing not long ago flying down from the sky.
But just then, the little black dog in her arms suddenly started struggling and howling.
This caused Su Chun to stop her attack.
The little black dog jumped down from her arms and went to the black bear, where it began to interact with it affectionately.
Seeing this, Su Chun suddenly realized something.
"Huh? Could this little black dog be a bear cub?"
This is awkward. No wonder the other party kept chasing her; it turns out she had captured a black bear's cub.
"Haha! Um, sorry, goodbye."
Su Chun left with a single sentence and slunk away.
Since she made a mistake first, it would be inappropriate for her to take her anger out on the black bear.
The little black bear stared at Su Chun as she flew away for a while before leaving with its mother.
After returning to Qingniu Town, she glanced at Huichuntang from the sky. Huichuntang had not changed much because of her disappearance.
"Sigh! It seems my disappearance didn't have much of an impact after all."
So Su Chun returned to Qiligou, a village under Qingniu Town.
As soon as she returned to the village, she found that a funeral was being held at her home. She scanned the house with her divine sense and discovered that it was being held for her.
Looking at her parents and younger siblings, Su Chun weighed the pros and cons and finally chose not to see them.
Now that she was a cultivator, Ding Yuqin's memories told her that her future path would be fraught with danger and could easily endanger her family. So she might as well go with the flow and pretend she was dead.
However, she still secretly left some valuables at home as a way of repaying her parents for raising her.
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, I'm leaving now. I may never come back. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. The path of cultivation is long and dangerous, and I don't want to live an ordinary life."
After leaving home, Su Chun silently said something in the direction of her home before using her magic weapon to fly towards Lingzhou, where the Xuan Yue Sect was located.
Along the way, she tried to avoid the territories of other cultivation forces. She estimated that it would take three to five days to reach the territory of the Xuan Yue Sect in Lingzhou.
