Chapter 2379 Fragments of Memories from Ke’Er’s Past life

Duan Ling Tian had just returned to the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land not too long ago. The first time he was in the Upper Province, he still did not know about the existence of Bodiless Celestials. When he received the message from Qing Huo, a Guardian from the Fire Worship Sect, it was not difficult for him to guess that the mysterious young man and his servant who was probably a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial were from the dragon clan. They had probably come because he had killed Li Bing.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that the people from the dragon clan knew he killed Li Bing since he noticed a Mirror Image Talisman had been activated when he killed Li Bing. The entire scene was probably transmitted to the other person who held the corresponding Mirror Image Talisman. The other person should be Li Bing’s master.

‘According to San Dao, the Bodiless Celestials from the three great sects are forbidden from leaving the dragon clan unless they were sent out on a mission by their patron. However, they were only allowed temporary leave! Li Bing was definitely sent on a mission by his patron since he was allowed to leave the clan. He came to the Fire Worship Sect without permission. In this case, according to the agreement between Senior Feng Qing Yang and the dragon and phoenix clans, Li Bing’s death is the result of a direct conflict between the Seven Absolutes Sect and the Fire Worship Sect. The dragon clan has no reason to interfere at all…’ Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. Why did someone from the dragon clan come for him? Did the dragon clan forget about their agreement with Feng Qing Yang?

After a while, Duan Ling Tian looked at the extremely worried Ke’er and said reassuringly, “Ke’Er, don’t worry… I won’t allow anything to happen to your sister. I’ll go look for San Dao now.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he turned to leave. However, Ke’er quickly called out, “Brother Tian!”

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Ke’Er quizzically.

“Brother Tian, Guardian Qing Huo said… there’s no need for you to return if you’re not confident you can defeat them!” Ke’er’s expression was grim when she spoke. She was, naturally, worried about her sister, but she was also worried about her husband. She would never trade her husband’s life for her sister’s life!

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Duan Ling Tian smiled at Ke’er reassuringly before he left to find Chen Yi Ru.

Ke’Er remained rooted to the spot, feeling sad. ‘I’m still too weak to help…” This was not the first time she felt dejected about her strength. An idea took form in her mind at this moment as her eyes shone with determination. ‘I’ve only tried it once, but it didn’t last long. This time, I’ll try to make it last longer. If I can do that, my strength will definitely improve tremendously!’

Ke’er had a secret. For fear of worrying the others, she had never spoken about it to Duan Ling Tian or Gan Ru Yan. When she was still imprisoned in the Fire Worship Sect’s Enforcement Hall, a casual thought appeared in her mind and caused her to feel as though her soul was being burned. The pain was so excruciating that she could still remember how it felt. The burning pain did not last for long, but she discovered her cultivation base had risen a few stages after that. At that moment, she knew she could rapidly increase her strength and improve her cultivation base by burning her soul.

Later on, she experimented a few times and mastered the trick of burning her soul. Since it was painful, she did not attempt to try it again. However, at this moment, she mustered up all her courage and decided to burn her soul to increase her strength in a short time. This was so she would not feel so useless and helpless whenever the people she cared about were faced with danger.

Ke’er began to think of the times when she tried burning her soul. ‘When I tried to burn my soul at that time, apart from the burning pain, I remembered unfamiliar scenes flashing in my mind as well… I wonder if it has anything to do with why Tang Xuan thinks I’m the reincarnation of a goddess.’

Previously, Tang Xuan, the former Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, had sworn on the lightning penalty oath that he was not lying when he said she was the reincarnation of a goddess. Although it was hard to believe, she had no choice but to believe it.

‘Maybe the more I burn my soul, the more memories I’ll regain from my past life!’ After Ke’er discovered she was the reincarnation of a goddess, she had been curious about her past life. She wanted to know what kind of person she was and why did she reincarnate in the mundane realm? Moreover, she wanted to know what was the intention of her cousin from her past life. All these questions had plagued her and taken roots in her heart.

‘This time, I must endure the pain for as long as I can to raise my cultivation base and recover my memories from my past life!’ Ke’er thought to herself resolutely as she left the pavilion to return to her room so she could cultivate.

‘No matter who I am in the past. I’m Ke’er. I’m Brother Tian’s wife and Si Ling’s mother!’ Ke’er thought to herself before she began to burn her soul. She kept repeating this phrase in her mind because she was afraid she would lose herself after regaining the memories from her past life.

At this moment, Ke’Er closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. In the beginning, she looked at peace and her body was still. However, soon after, an agonized expression could be seen on her face as her body began to tremble. It did not take long before she was drenched in her own sweat. Her teeth were chattering even though she tried clenching her jaw tightly. Blood began to dribble out from a corner of her mouth at this point.

Inside, Ke’er felt as though she was being burned. Her consciousness threatened to leave, but she managed to hold on again and again…

During this process, she began to gain more and more fragments of her memories.

Through the fragmented memories, she saw a breathtaking and gorgeous woman who was always at the center of attention no matter where she went. She was as captivating as the brightest star in the night sky. Apart from being beautiful, she was extremely powerful, capable of moving mountains and rousing the sea. With just a wave of her hand, she could change the sky’s color, stop the sun from shining, and turn a 10,000-acre forest into a desolate land.

Ke’er was, naturally, shocked beyond words when she saw this. ‘Is this me in my past life? Even the most powerful existence in the mundane realm, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, seems inferior in comparison.’ The beautiful woman’s strength was unlike anything she could imagine.

Ke’er felt her consciousness begin to slip, and a thought kept repeating in her mind. ‘Hang in there. Just a little more. I must endure this. No one will be able to threaten family if I have even a tenth of my former strength…’

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Ke’er’s consciousness was at risk of being destroyed and she could die. Otherwise, he would have stopped her at all costs.

Chen Yi Ru who had learned about what happened from Duan Ling Tian said, “Master, as far as I know, people from the dragon clan usually honor their words. There’s no reason why they would break the agreement between the clan and Senior Feng Qing Yang even if they’re displeased that you killed Li Bing! However, your guess is most likely correct. The mysterious young man is probably from the dragon clan.”

“Then… What do you think we should do?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Return to the Fire Worship Sect and stop him! Chase him back to the dragon clan!” Chen Yi Ru sneered. “If words get out that someone from the dragon clan is trying to kill you because of Li Bing, it would tarnish the dragon clan’s reputation. That person from the dragon clan wouldn’t dare to seek revenge for Li Bing if he isn’t sure word of it wouldn’t get out.”
