Chapter 1: Traveled through time, but still fighting on Luoxing
Shi Yueyi sat by the campfire, fiddling with the roasted rabbit in front of her.
"Ms. Big... Miss..."
Beside her, five young men and women who looked to be in their twenties were tied up.
At this moment, Shi Yueyi was leisurely eating the ingredients she found in their soul guides, while the three men and two women could only watch with tears in their eyes.
But when they thought about what happened about ten minutes ago, they couldn't help but shudder.
They were a spontaneously formed soul hunting team, and their cultivation was not very good. The members of the team were all in their twenties, and the one with the highest soul power, Grizzly Brother, was only level twenty-five.
Their purpose in finding a second soul ring for the team member with the lowest cultivation level was to find a second soul ring, so they came to the outskirts of the frozen forest in the north of the Tiandou Empire to try their luck.
As a result, they met this little girl who was acting alone.
Soul hunting is often the most challenging of all.
Not only is it possible to kill other humans when encountering them and steal valuable things, but it is also possible that a split will occur within the small group.
The five people had a good relationship, so they encountered the first situation.
But they provoked a tough guy.
They ambushed this girl - a little girl acting alone in the forest was not normal at all.
Moreover, the girl's clothes were thin, but she stood very steadily in the snow and ice, as if she had something precious on her!
With that, the group instantly agreed. The Level 25 Grizzly Master leaped to his feet, unleashing his spirit behind her without hesitation, striking down with his massive bear paw.
Shi Yueyi's delicate right hand was even faster than the Grizzly's. Before his sturdy arm could reach the other's head, she spun around and grasped it.
His first spirit ring had just glowed, and he was about to unleash a buffing spirit skill when the other's palm transformed into a sharp claw, clamping down on his arm. The girl's arm trembled slightly, dislocating the Grizzly's elbow.
Grizz wanted to do something, but found that he couldn't retract his arm at all. He didn't even have time to feel the pain before another delicate hand climbed up to his neck and tapped twice with its fingertips.
Then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
When he woke up again, he found that he and his companions had been tied up, and the five of them were leaning against a big tree.
The rope was tied like an art. They tried to struggle, but the knot became tighter and tighter.
"Yeah." Shi Yueyi responded when she heard someone calling her, then glanced at them and continued to put the tender and delicious rabbit meat into her mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you." She finished eating the roasted rabbit, "You came from thousands of miles away to bring me such delicious food, people should repay you, right?"
"Yes, yes, who said it wasn't." The big brother Grizzli Bear nodded immediately, "If people don't know how to be grateful, then they are beasts, aren't they?"
"But you attacked again and wanted to kill me, how do I deal with this?"
Shi Yueyi patted the snow on the ground and cleaned her hands... but it looked like the executioner's preparation before execution.
Grizz shuddered and said quickly, "I have a soul tool here that can store things! There's some in there..."
"You mean this?" Shi Yueyi held out her hand, and in her palm were several metal objects. "This is spoils of war, what I deserve, it doesn't count."
"One of these I bought at a high price, it has a lock on it," Grizz whispered.
Shi Yueyi took out one of the soul tools that looked like a ring and said, "How much can something that doesn't even have a third-level core magic array be worth?"
Core magic array? What the hell is that?
Shi Yueyi simply tapped the ring twice with her right hand, and cracks appeared on the soul tool, and the contents were about to leak out.
"Look, it breaks at the touch." Shi Yueyi smiled.
This—
Big Brother Grizz was shocked. He remembered when he bought this thing, the owner boasted to him that even a three-ringed soul master wouldn't be able to break it with brute force.
"So, Miss, what do you say we do?" Big Brother Grizz looked at the white-haired girl before him, tears in his eyes.
He felt like she was a centenarian, rejuvenating herself. It was like the stories he'd heard as a child, about those hermit masters who lived in seclusion and enjoyed playing games with the human world.
"Let's do this."
Shi Yueyi put her spoils away, walked over to them, squatted down, and patted each of their faces.
"I'm in a good mood because I haven't seen a living person in a long time. So you're lucky. I don't expect you to bring me any benefits... Just tell me the current situation on the mainland, such as the current year and the power structure."
Grizz was stunned, then let out a low cry.
It wasn't that he found this girl strange, but he had just wanted to use this opportunity to try to break free from the ropes that bound him.
As a result, his dislocated arm made him grimace in pain.
"You are not a good boy." Shi Yueyi looked at him with a smile.
Seeing the white hand that had just slapped them in the face transform into a sharp claw, the girl next to the grizzly bear narrowed her eyes and said quickly, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
"This year is 2639 in the Dou Luo calendar. The continent is now divided into two major empires, Tiandou and Xingluo, with the Spirit Hall sandwiched between them!"
She spoke rapidly, recounting everything she knew. She mentioned
that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan were in the Tiandou Empire, while the Haotian Sect seemed to have disappeared.
"Is that really the case..."

Shi Yueyi sighed inwardly.
She wasn't from the Dou Luo Continent.
She was from the Sun Moon Continent.
Or, to be more precise, she was from the Sun Moon Empire, ten thousand years in the future.
She had traveled through time, but not completely, not to some other world. Instead, she had followed the trajectory of time and arrived ten thousand years ago.
No wonder she had been on the west coast, deserted, when she woke up from her coma.
Could it be because that place had once been... no, ten thousand years in the future, perhaps the border between the northern part of the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire?
After she woke up, she found that her body had shrunk, and she could clearly sense that
she was only six years old at the time. But the instincts deep in her bones remained, so she followed her sense of direction and walked towards the north, arriving at this frozen forest.
In her previous life, a friend told her that staying in the city or academy when she was young wouldn't be much help in her cultivation, as she wouldn't be able to sense "real danger."
After arriving in this forest, she relied on her instincts and skills to survive and train alone for over a year.
"You're so amazing," whispered the girl who had introduced Shi Yueyi to the mainland. "Can you tell me about your martial spirit?"
Perhaps it was because her palms transformed into claws during a previous battle?
But these weren't actually her martial spirits, but rather the claws that fell from a century-old spirit beast called the Thunder Mine, which she had slain that year—when the gang tried to strangle her. (The text then abruptly shifts topics.) (The text then abruptly shifts topics.) (
The text then abruptly shifts topics.)
Metacarpal absorption usually only occurs before the arm bones, and her new body happened to lack soul bones.
Trying to absorb external soul bones without her martial spirit awakened was a painful process, but she managed to push through.
"Don't push your luck," Shi Yueyi came to her senses. "I'm leaving now. You're on your own."
"No, didn't you say you wouldn't kill us?" the girl said anxiously.
"I didn't kill you," Shi Yueyi said strangely, "but I didn't say I'd let you go either. You want to kill me, but I can't tie you up?"
"?"
The others were stunned when they heard this, except for Big Brother Grizzly, who was still hissing and gasping in pain.
It seemed so reasonable! We couldn't even refute it!
"Let's do this."
Shi Yueyi said as she quickly climbed up the big tree behind them, then took out a small knife and placed it on the branch above their heads.
She jumped down from the tree and said, "I left a small dagger on this tree... the one in your soul guide. When it falls, you will have something to cut the rope."
"You lunatic!" Another girl who looked smaller scolded angrily, "What if it falls and hurts us?"
"You're right, I'm a lunatic." Shi Yueyi smiled, revealing her white teeth, "I like to see my enemies struggling to survive in the snow and ice."
If she wasn't lunatic, how could she try to absorb the external soul bone before awakening her martial soul?
"Oh, by the way, you have to hurry. We just had a fire here, and we might attract some soul beasts or other soul hunting teams." She kindly reminded them.
"Do we have to thank you then?" Another person gritted his teeth.
"Not so good." Shi Yueyi said, and then, wearing thin clothes and barefoot, he walked towards the south, leaving footprints on the snow.
"What should we do?" The others looked at each other.
"What else can we do? Just run into the trees quickly." One of the young men said with a wry smile, "Be careful not to get stabbed by the dagger when it falls."
The only strong attack soul master among them was Big Brother Grizzly, and the other four were not.
But now Big Brother Grizzly was like he was poisoned, unable to exert any strength and could only breathe.
It took the other four about half an hour to retrieve the dagger, and another half an hour to cut the ropes.
"Go find her!" the eldest brother, the grizzly bear, said bitterly. "I want revenge!"
But within a quarter of an hour of chasing south, Shi Yueyi's footprints vanished into a tangled mess.
"Brother, let's not chase her." One of them shivered. "Although this girl looks like a little girl, she always feels like some old monster who has come out to experience life... If she wanted to kill us, she would have killed us long ago."
"Yes, yes." Another person took over. "Look, she's wearing summer clothes. She's not afraid of the cold in this snow and ice!"
"Well... okay." The big brother Grizzly gave in. "Then find a place to heal my arm!"
At the same time, Shi Yueyi, who had already walked out of the frozen forest, looked at the city wall in front of her and couldn't help muttering to herself: "I heard that 10,000 years ago, when the Spirit Hall was still there, every year there would be special personnel to awaken the spirits of children... Why don't we go and take a look first?"
