A Girl Dies Every Day in Her Dream Life 200

Chapter 200: The Fallen Celestial Ship, The Eternal Soul of Antiquity

When Luo Xue opened her eyes again, she was greeted by the endless flames of immortality, ignited by the will of immortality.

However, these flames didn’t harm her. When she touched them, she only felt warmth in her palm.

“This is…”

Luo Xue looked around, and the scene before her was incredibly familiar.

It was the courtyard where everything began.

Of course, this should be the original version of the courtyard.

Luo Xue was currently in the bedroom of the main house, but the bed had long been incinerated by the inextinguishable flames, leaving only ashes and faint traces.

However… the dressing table before her was strangely intact. Luo Xue looked up and saw her reflection in the mirror. It was Nangong’s appearance, but lacking her coldness and majesty.

The appearance was that of the Nangong ancestor, but the aura was still Luo Xue’s.

“Going around in circles, it seems I can’t escape this loop.”

Luo Xue shook her head and sighed.

She was now used to this soul form, moving around wasn’t a problem, but even the Sacred Soul, if it stayed in the outside world for too long, risked dissipation.

Complete annihilation wasn’t likely, but erosion was unavoidable.

If the soul body was eroded, Luo Xue’s consciousness might also be damaged.

At that time, she would truly become a mindless, wandering ghost, a fate worse than death.

“But hasn’t the Sacred Soul become the Shadow of Withering? Why does it seem to have some resistance to the will of immortality?”

Luo Xue was puzzled. Immortality and withering were opposing forces, unless perfectly balanced, they would only destroy each other.

But the inextinguishable flames in the Nangong ancestral land only brought Luo Xue a peaceful warmth, no discomfort at all.

“Perhaps it’s because Nangong herself controlled both the laws of withering and immortality… I wonder if it will affect my consciousness.”

Luo Xue’s current situation was rather tragic. Her soul and body had been eroded by withering, only her consciousness remained, residing within the Sacred Soul’s body.

Although Nangong had agreed to give her the Sacred Soul, it wasn’t… original equipment…

“I have to find Senior Sister Li first, but… can I even find her on my own?” Luo Xue was troubled.

That was Li Guijiao, her timid Senior Sister, with her countless transformations and puppets.

Luo Xue only knew that Senior Sister Li had disguised herself as her, but she didn’t know where she was now…

The barbarian lands were vast and dangerous. Searching blindly, if she could find Senior Sister Li like this, it would be like winning the lottery.

As Luo Xue was pondering, another voice echoed in her mind.

“Ah, how did the residence of the Twin Phoenixes end up like this?” Nangong’s voice was filled with surprise. “This won’t do. When Phoenix Venerable returns, she’ll nag me.”

“You’re awake?” Luo Xue replied. “It should be the will of immortality that leaked out when suppressing the demonic remains, right?”

“Oh, I almost forgot about that.”

Nangong said. The memories she saw within the Sacred Soul only went up to the final battle of the ancient era. She didn’t know about the disasters that occurred ten thousand years later.

“I was briefly awakened by the surrounding will of immortality. If I stay awake for too long, this wisp of consciousness will be eroded.” Nangong explained. “But since I’m awake, I’ll give you something nice. After all, this was my territory back then.”

As her voice faded, the surrounding inextinguishable flames converged uncontrollably.

The immortal flames that had burned in the Nangong ancestral land for countless years were extinguished in a few breaths, all their power condensing into a small spark.

Finally, this dim, inconspicuous spark floated before Luo Xue.

“The Inextinguishable Flame Seed, take it. Even if you can’t absorb it, you can use it as a trump card.” Nangong said faintly.

“The method is very simple. Infuse it with spiritual power and activate it. The Inextinguishable Flame Seed will transform into a sea of fire enveloped by the will of immortality. Even a Foundation Establishment child can use it—of course, I can’t guarantee whether you’ll survive after using it.”

“…Indeed, quite simple.”

Luo Xue twitched her lips. Such a powerful, law-touching existence, condensed by Nangong into a one-time-use item that anyone with spiritual power could use.

…To recondense this sea of fire back into the Inextinguishable Flame Seed, there was probably only one person in the world who could do that.

Perhaps Phoenix Venerable could, but Luo Xue had never seen it.

“I’ll continue my slumber now. If you need anything, just call me.”

After saying her last words, Nangong fell silent.

Luo Xue waited for a while, but she didn’t speak again, so Luo Xue turned her attention to the Inextinguishable Flame Seed.

“Ancestor Nangong said I could absorb it… but I don’t even have a body now, can I try absorbing the Inextinguishable Flame Seed?”

Luo Xue pondered for a moment, then reached out with her soul body to touch it.

Using such a good thing as an indiscriminate bomb was too wasteful. If she could use it to control the will of immortality… perhaps the Eternal Withering Body wouldn’t have to remain dormant in the Blood Sea.

As long as the will of immortality and the will of withering reached a balance, she could use her power normally, without destroying her body and soul every time she used the will of withering…

Luo Xue suspected that the will of withering was also partly responsible for her true death in the post-apocalyptic world.

Thinking of this, Luo Xue’s soul slowly enveloped the Inextinguishable Flame Seed, her consciousness touching the will of immortality within.

In an instant, without giving Luo Xue any time to react, the Inextinguishable Flame Seed dissipated like smoke.

The next moment, countless memories flooded Luo Xue’s mind.

“…This is humanity’s mission… but there will be no result…”

“Set sail! Escape this world of despair…”

“Failure, failure, failure… Crash, crash, crash…”

Luo Xue opened her eyes, staring at the world before her in shock.

The formations of the Immortal Martial World and the machinery of the post-apocalyptic world were perfectly combined. Countless magnificent celestial ships soared through the sky, heading towards the terrifying deep space.

The next moment, the ships crashed, and the world shattered.

“This is… a memory? Is it really a memory? A memory from the ancient era?”

Luo Xue’s consciousness returned to the present, but these memories remained, clear as if etched in her mind.

Every rune, every ray of light on the celestial ships, was crystal clear.

Luo Xue panted, her heart pounding, and she looked up at the bronze mirror. For some reason, her soul’s eyes were burning with a blinding, crimson flame, incredibly eerie.

At the same time, the long-awaited upgrade to her special talent finally arrived.

[Double Pupils Evolved: Eternal Soul of Antiquity]
[Eternal Soul of Antiquity: The soul carries the will of eternal antiquity, containing the laws of eternity and continuation. The soul power of the soul and consciousness is transformed into the will of immortality.]
[Note: The possessor of the Eternal Soul of Antiquity, their Dao unharmed, immortal and indestructible.]

A certain law descended upon Luo Xue’s consciousness, bringing visible changes to the Sacred Soul.

The originally pure white, almost translucent soul body, solidified.

Soon, it looked no different from a real person, like Nangong reborn.

However… it was still a soul body.

A few strands of purplish-red aura escaped, and the dark shadows instantly dissipated, the withering aspect of the Sacred Soul vanishing.

The appearance of the Eternal Soul of Antiquity made it impossible for the opposing will of withering to coexist, and Luo Xue now controlled another ultimate law.

Besides this, there was good news and bad news.

The good news was that Luo Xue no longer had to worry about her soul being eroded. Even wandering the world for tens of thousands of years, the Eternal Soul of Antiquity wouldn’t lose its consciousness.

The bad news was… she might forever be a wandering soul.

The only body that could accommodate the Eternal Soul of Antiquity was probably Phoenix Venerable’s.

The problem was, Phoenix Venerable was still alive… how could she take her body?

Thinking about it carefully, if Phoenix Venerable was willing to…

Luo Xue quickly shook her head, discarding this absurd thought.

She composed herself, pondered for a moment, and sorted through her current situation.

At least, Luo Xue was no longer in immediate danger. Even without asking Li Guijiao for a puppet body, she could still wander the world.

It was just that having the face of the Sacred Soul was a bit uncomfortable. This was the appearance of Nangong, the ancestor of the Nangong clan. If she was caught by the Nangong clan, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Luo Xue always disliked trouble.

“It’s a pity that even the Thousand Faces Cultivation Art can’t change the appearance of a soul. Perhaps Senior Sister Li has upgraded it, but I haven’t.” Luo Xue thought for a moment, then clapped her hands. “So, I still have to find her.”

Besides the matter of a vessel for her soul, Luo Xue was also curious about how Li Guijiao came to the Great Thousand Worlds.

Because Luo Xue knew that even now, those who knew about the caged world could still be counted on one hand.

This meant that the door between the two worlds hadn’t been opened, and Phoenix Venerable was still guarding the fragile humans in the cradle.

“Oh right, I wonder how the Peerless Summit Sect is doing…”

Luo Xue suppressed her anticipation and anxiety, left the courtyard, and looked into the distance.

She only knew that the Nangong ancestral land was in the southern barbarian lands, but not its exact location.

It seemed she had to ask someone… or some demonic beast.

Luo Xue flew into the air, extending her Divine Sense, covering a radius of dozens of miles.

The Sacred Soul’s cultivation couldn’t be measured by ordinary realms, and the same went for Luo Xue’s current state, but her Divine Sense was at least at the Soul Transformation level, so it should extend further than just dozens of miles.

“It seems some kind of power is restricting my Divine Sense, but it doesn’t matter, I’ve found it.”

Luo Xue locked onto a location where spiritual energy was concentrated, probably a demonic beast tribe settlement, and flew towards it.

…

“She still refuses to see me?”

The Immortal Emperor closed the book in his hand and looked at the scholar who had come to report.

“Yes, she… still seems hesitant, but this subject truly doesn’t understand.” The scholar lowered his head and said respectfully.

“Does she think I’ll take her power?” The Immortal Emperor’s fingers tapped lightly on the table. “Or does she think… I’ll harm her?”

“This subject doesn’t know.”

The scholar still kept his head lowered.

“We’re alone here, is there something you can’t say?”

The Immortal Emperor said casually. He could tell that the scholar had some speculations, but didn’t dare to voice them.

“This…”

The scholar hesitated.

“This is my command, an imperial decree.” The Immortal Emperor pointed to a nearby scroll. “Or do you want me to write one personally?”

“Perhaps… this woman is related to the Empress!” The scholar gritted his teeth and said. “The Nangong clan, where the Empress comes from, originated from the southern barbarian lands!”

“…Impossible.”

The Immortal Emperor’s eyes flickered, and he shook his head.

How could he not know about this? But the Nangong clan couldn’t possibly unify the southern barbarian lands.

The southern barbarian lands were always in chaos. Although the Immortal Emperor didn’t believe that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve a feat even he couldn’t, the Nangong clan was also incapable of this.

Another reason was that during his southern tour, the Immortal Emperor had examined many formations created by “Luo Xue,” and the more he saw, the more apprehensive he became.

These formation methods were unheard of, not even recorded in ancient texts, only possible during the peak of the ancient sects, in the ancient era.

Could this woman be a representative of some ancient sect? Was her true identity a descendant of an ancient sect?

The former rulers of the Great Thousand Worlds, the absolute overlords of the ancient era, the Eight Ancient Sects, were they returning?

These were terrifying monsters that even the powerful ancient clans feared, eradicating them completely, not even daring to let a single spark remain.

“But, Your Majesty, the Nangong clan… during the ancient era, had a deep connection with the ancient sects, which have all disappeared now.”

The scholar hesitated for a long time, then subtly hinted at this. After all, mentioning the forbidden ancient sects was dangerous.

He had been in the southern barbarian lands for hundreds of years and naturally understood what the Immortal Emperor had already seen.

“Luo Xue” herself wasn’t important. What was important was the inheritance she possessed, and the long-lost formation system.

This was the true reason she could unify all the demonic beast tribes in the southern barbarian lands. She must be representing some powerful force.

Hearing this, the Immortal Emperor’s fingers stiffened slightly.

Clearly, he had also realized this.

“I… understand. You may leave.” The Immortal Emperor sighed and waved his hand at the scholar.

“Yes.”

The scholar bowed again and slowly left the room.

“The ancient era, the ancient sects…”

The Immortal Emperor looked out the window, his expression complicated.

“I didn’t expect that even today, the Great Thousand Worlds are still shrouded in your shadow.”
