Chapter 1: Identity

Shen Qingyi looked at the pear blossom petals falling on the ground and still felt a bit dazed.

Several days had passed since she arrived in this world, but everything still felt unreal.

Who could have imagined that one day she would become a character in a novel?

And not just any character, but a cannon-fodder female supporting character.

Yes, Shen Qingyi had transmigrated into a cannon-fodder female supporting character named Shen Qingyi from a novel she had read in her previous life, “Immortal Couple Journeying Together.”

Through fragments of the original host’s soul, she had glimpsed that girl’s short life.

Now, she had returned to the original host’s childhood.

“Immortal Couple Journeying Together” was a novel she had once read. It mainly told of the countless small worlds beneath the Myriad Realms of Floating Life, where each world practiced cultivation and revered martial strength.

The female lead, Fu Yuyao, transmigrated from an Apocalypse-era cultivation family. The male lead, Chu Jing, was a genius disciple of a major Sect. The two fought monsters, leveled up, fell in love along the way, and finally became powerful figures in the Cultivation World, praised by all.

When she read it back then, she thought it was pretty good, especially the parts where the male and female leads constantly challenged opponents above their level, slayed those who stood in their way, and delivered satisfying slaps in the face.

Back then, it made her blood boil with excitement.

She just never imagined that one day, she would become an insignificant little cannon-fodder character from that story!

Shen Qingyi was someone in the Zedi Sect who wasn’t even qualified to be a Menial Disciple.

She was only able to stay in the Zedi Sect because an Outer Sect Disciple took pity on her.

However, her very existence was an insult to some people in the Zedi Sect, though not quite a disgrace.

The reason was simple. The Lin Family was the most powerful family under the Zedi Sect’s jurisdiction. Two Ancestors of the Lin Family were among the top three Golden Core Ancestors in terms of strength within the Zedi Sect.

In the North Binding Realm area, the Zedi Sect was a first-rate Sect. Almost no one dared to provoke them, and cultivators from other Sects also gave them face.

And within the Zedi Sect, the Lin Family was an existence no one dared to provoke!

All of this was the source of pride the Lin Family boasted about.

Yet, this source of pride was shattered six years ago!

A down-and-out female Devil Cultivator from a Demonic Sect ambushed the Lin Family’s most talented Young Master when he was unfortunately separated from his group in a Secret Realm. She used a demonic technique to drain his masculine energy to supplement her own.

Originally, such things weren’t particularly rare in the Cultivation World.

At most, some might sigh at the female Devil Cultivator’s skill, or pity the Lin Family Young Master who lost his primal yang energy before even reaching Foundation Establishment.

But no one expected the Secret Realm to undergo a drastic change midway.

The Secret Realm, originally open for half a year, remained open for two years.

Moreover, an ancient inheritance Main Hall appeared inside.

Cultivators who could enter the Main Hall and receive an inheritance were almost always teleported to a safe Spatial Dimension to accept it.

The duration of these inheritances varied.

The shortest took a day, the longest took almost two years.

During this time, the Cultivator’s body would fall into a deep sleep. The Main Hall’s Formation Array would provide the inheriting Cultivator with a continuous stream of Spiritual Power and Vital Force to ensure their safety.

That female Devil Cultivator who had drained the Lin Family Young Master was one of the Cultivators who received an inheritance.

Moreover, she slumbered in that Spatial Dimension for over a year.

And it was during that time that the female Devil Cultivator unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to the original Shen Qingyi.

Freshly gaining an inheritance and giving birth left the female Devil Cultivator’s body extremely weak.

Regarding Shen Qingyi, this accident, she originally wanted to strangle her at birth. But she feared her weakened body wouldn’t allow her to escape the Secret Realm.

A flash of inspiration struck her. She remembered the identity of the male Cultivator she had drained.

The weight of the Lin Family Young Master was sufficient, and the Lin Family definitely had many members inside the Secret Realm.

Wanting to use the Lin Family women, she didn’t kill Shen Qingyi right away.

Carrying Shen Qingyi, she found the Lin Family Cultivators, intending to make an exchange.

After all, the Lin Family was a prominent and respected great family in the North Binding Realm, and they placed great importance on bloodline.
