Chapter 2 Oh, isn't this the legendary so-and-so?
Shi Yueyi pulled a map from the confiscated spirit guide and determined the direction.
It wasn't a complete map of the continent, only the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
She didn't know why she had traveled back ten thousand years, and she couldn't even remember what happened before that.
In her previous life, she had reached the highest level of spirit master cultivation at the time, and was a killer, an assassin. So
what? Coming
from ten thousand years in the future, she recalled information about this era and learned about the Spirit Hall. It was said that its headquarters was a city of sin, ultimately overthrown by the Sea God.
Later records of the Spirit Hall were extremely scarce, and the only description repeated was that of the corrupted City of Sin.
That was it.
Well, the sinners of the City of Sin would help ordinary people awaken their spirits for free.
Upon closer examination, it seemed that there was truly no historical evidence to prove that the Spirit Hall had committed any major evil.
Even the Spirit Hall's predecessor, the Church, led human spirit masters to conquer their own lands amidst the pressure of spirit beasts.
Except for the war they launched in the end, aiming to unify the continent.
But judging by the outcome, the Spirit Hall vanished, but the war lingered, and it never ceased.
From what she'd seen, some of the lower classes continued to suffer. Even during her missions, she'd encountered soldiers who—unless they possessed spirits.
Well, slaves ten thousand years ago certainly had spirits, but soldiers ten thousand years from now might not.
As she pondered this, she arrived at a city gate.
"Dear guest from afar, welcome to the Ice City. But for your frail frame and beautiful face, I sincerely suggest you wear two layers of clothing,"
the guard at the gate said sincerely.
Shi Yueyi's lips twitched silently, having changed into a confiscated coat.
In a previous life, she possessed a spirit bone from a spirit beast from the northern ice sea of the Sun-Moon Empire, giving her exceptional resistance to cold temperatures.
This time, she had consumed a large amount of ice-attributed spirit beast meat in the Frozen Forest, and after acquiring an external spirit bone, her physical condition had also undergone a transformation.
But in life, why rely on physical strength when you can rely on acting?
So, seeing Shi Yueyi's frightened eyes and trembling legs, the guards had no choice but to treat her as some noble lady, offering comfort and ushering her into the city.
"Ah, I heard the Crown Prince was recently visiting the northern part of the empire... all that pretense must be exhausting,"
the guard said, curling his lips as Shi Yueyi entered the city.
After entering the Ice City, Shi Yueyi first went to a clothing store to buy a few coats and gather some information.
Although her new body was only seven years old, she was already nearly five feet tall.
Even among spirit masters of her "same age," she was considered tall, so she didn't arouse suspicion.
She looked like a teenager.
Then, she changed into her new clothes and headed towards the Wuhun Sub-Hall in the city.
"I've heard all along the way that the Spirit Hall does indeed help people awaken their spirits for free,"
Shi Yueyi pondered as she arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Hall's sub-hall.
"Hello," Shi Yueyi greeted the guard standing by. "Excuse me, is it still possible to awaken spirits?"
"Awaken spirits?" The guard glanced at Shi Yueyi curiously. "Little girl, how old are you?"
Shi Yueyi replied, "Seven."
Then, she remembered what she had heard before: every year, the Spirit Hall sends staff to awaken the spirits of civilian children, even in remote mountain villages.
"Because I was away on the previous Awakening Day," she added, "So, is it still too late now?"
The guard smiled kindly. "Of course, it's a little late, but it's not too much trouble. Little girl, please go in and find the awakening room."
"Thank you," Shi Yueyi replied politely, then walked in.
However, just as she found the awakening room in the deepest part of the sub-hall, she suddenly sensed a murderous aura!
It wasn't coming from within the Spirit Hall, but from the outside!
She immediately turned and peered out a nearby window at the sky.
She saw a dark red ripple appear on the horizon, just as dusk fell. Within that ripple, a figure seemed to be hidden!
"This is—"
Shi Yueyi's pupils suddenly narrowed. She couldn't be wrong. This was her instinct as a killer. Before the opponent appeared... no, before they even appeared, she would use some means to intimidate the target. These means were usually pre-set traps or other surrounding elements.
But this was just the way most people did it. If someone could radiate overwhelming murderous aura from the moment they appeared, then any additional arrangements would be superfluous!
As a killer from ten thousand years in the future, she had naturally studied these things. At this moment, the dark red magic pattern on the horizon, and the transparent ripples that shook the surrounding clouds apart, corresponded perfectly to a power she knew.
This was a power that almost every killer from ten thousand years in the future dreamed of: the God of Killing Domain!
Shi Yueyi wasn't the only one who noticed this newcomer; the other Spirit Hall staff members had noticed him as well.
The transparent wave instantly poured down at this moment, covering the entire Wuhun Sub-hall. The invisible pressure was released, directly crushing the staff members who were low-level soul masters to the ground, unable to move!
"Who are you?! How dare you come to the Wuhun Sub-hall to make trouble!"
An angry roar came from the Wuhun Sub-hall, and then a bishop in a red robe rushed out. Cardinals usually have a cultivation base above level 70.
"Making trouble?"
The wind came from nowhere and blew up the face of the figure. It was a pale face, and he might be wearing something like a mask. But Shi Yueyi could tell at a glance that this guy was using a disguise similar to a disguise, because the corners of the mask's mouth were raised!
Nine soul rings fell one after another, two yellow, two purple, four black...

A flash of red!
A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!
Meanwhile, in this figure's right hand, he wielded a massive hammer, its head the size of a water tank.
"Clear Sky Hammer! You're from the Clear Sky Sect!"
The cardinal's face suddenly changed.
The conflict between the Qian Family Spirit Hall and the Tang Family Clear Sky Sect was well known even to someone like Shi Yueyi, ten thousand years from now!
"Haha! Clear Sky Sect! Haha!" The figure seemed to laugh wildly. Then, the hammer in his hand surged with the wind, instantly transforming into a mammoth hammer a hundred meters in length. He then smashed down on the Spirit Hall, now enveloped by his Killing God Domain.
"I'm here today to reclaim what's mine!" the Tang Family Hammer roared furiously.
As the massive hammer fell, not only the Spirit Hall was affected, but also many ordinary people in the neighborhood.
"A Titled Douluo has killed someone!"
"Run!"
But it was no use. Even a Soul Sage cardinal couldn't escape the sheer force of the force.
A massive gust of soul power swept over her. Though she was deep within the Spirit Hall's innermost chambers, and Tang Dachui's blow had only impacted the front half, the aftermath still sent her careening back.
Shi Yueyi felt the piercing pain course through her body, like a ferocious dragon burrowing into her, threatening to crush her very organs.
"Damn it!" She stared intently at the figure, spitting blood. "Don't let me live, or I'll skin you alive!"
But her spirit hadn't even awakened yet.
How could she possibly survive?
Extreme Experience: Dizziness.
At that moment, an unknown rage ignited within her. Instinctively, she shrank back, trying to protect her heart.
Then, shielding her head with her right hand, she used the aftermath to crash into a room.
It was as if the external soul bone of the Thunder Vine was protecting its master. This ruthlessness was like a swift bolt of lightning, shattering the chaotic images in her mind, distorted by the Killing God's Domain.
A white-haired figure appeared before her eyes. It seemed like her past life self, reaching out to her.
She suddenly regained consciousness, a surge of inexplicable rage filling her heart. The impact of over a year of life-or-death crises suddenly transformed into a shockwave, and with it—she
automatically awakened her spirit!
This must be a treasure room in the Spirit Hall. She reached out her right hand and grabbed a cabinet nearly built into the wall. This special cabinet was incredibly durable, and contained treasures. She pulled it directly in front of her and hid behind it.
"Ugh—"
blood flowed from her mouth again.
Before her eyes, the front half of the hall collapsed, and the rubble below her continued to fall. She kept pulling at anything nearby that could block the impact.
A fierce will powered her actions. She hadn't yet grasped the identity of the person who had destroyed the Spirit Hall, but she was determined to kill him someday!
An ordinary person might not have survived, perhaps even retreating upon learning he was a Titled Douluo. But Shi Yueyi was different. She was determined—no, she absolutely must—to kill him!
Through the cracks between the shattered walls, she discerned the spirit in his hand.
Tang Hao, the instigator of all this, turned and left, searching for the next remote Spirit Hall to "retrieve his belongings," as he had mentioned in the letter he left for his son upon leaving Holy Soul Village.
He needed to act quickly, and not be identified by his spirit abilities. So, he didn't employ any specific spirit abilities, relying solely on brute force and the Killing God Domain to destroy the sub-hall.
The Killing God Domain, possessed by only two people today, was unrecognizable to the average person.
He didn't notice that, deep within the Spirit Hall, a pair of eyes slowly closed, or perhaps even if he had noticed, he wouldn't have paid it any mind.
The narrowed gaze resembled that of a dead person.
Or perhaps, perhaps, someone looking at a dead person.
...
When Shi Yueyi woke up again, she was lying in a room.
Sitting in front of her was a young man.
He had long black hair, tied with a green cloth, and hung neatly behind his head.
"You're awake." The young man looked at her gently.
"I..." Shi Yueyi struggled to support her body and wanted to sit up.
"Be careful, don't move." The young man stretched out his hand and supported her, with a faint soul power emanating from his hand.
Shi Yueyi was stunned. How could she feel the other person's soul power entering her body? And there were fluctuations of soul power in her body... communicating with it?
The young man also felt a little surprised, so he withdrew his hand.
She quickly circulated her soul power according to her memory.
That's right! Her martial soul really awakened automatically!
"Little girl, my name is Xue Qinghe." The young man looked at Shi Yueyi with a smile, "Whose child are you? Why are you alone in a place like that?"
"If you weren't lucky, you would have died there at that time." The young man's voice was very gentle, and although his clothes looked very ordinary, he had a natural temperament that made people want to get close to him.
Hearing the young man introduce herself, Shi Yueyi couldn't help but blink: "Hello, my name is... Shi Yueyi."
"October 1st?" Xue Qinghe was stunned, "This name is quite special."
"Xue Qinghe? Your name is also quite special... Could you be the rumored prince of the Tiandou Empire?"
But what she was thinking in her heart was: Could this be the legendary... who?
The plot is new, and the overall style is light. The heroine has a top-notch start and follows the Qian Renxue route (not a pure Spirit Hall route)
