When Si Wanning gained the resolve to risk everything, the dream did not enter the cycle again, and she suddenly woke up.
Si Wanning lay there a bit dazed.
It's clearly only a dream.
Yet she seemed to have truly lived such a life.
That kind of real yet despairing feeling made her still tremble uncontrollably even now.
If she hadn't suddenly seen Little Junior Sister and thus gained endless courage, at this moment she would probably still be trapped in that dream, looping endlessly!
Ye Danxia.
The man.
The Demon Clan.
Si Wanning's heart was full of dread.
From the moment Little Junior Sister appeared, the scenes in the dream had actually undergone a great change.
At least.
Right now, Ye Danxia wasn't the same as in the dream, basking in endless favor.
Master had also recovered his cultivation, and Eldest Senior Brother was completely different from the one in the dream.
Therefore.
Those things shouldn't repeat again, right?
"Senior Sister." Si Wanning was still a bit absent-minded.
Yun Jin, prompted by the system that the soul fusion had completed, had already brought the others of Heavenly Sword Peak inside.
"Master… Senior Brother, Junior Brother, Junior Sister." Si Wanning looked at these familiar faces one by one, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.
In reality she had not yet reached a hundred years of age, but that phantom dream made her feel as if she had lived through countless centuries. Suddenly returning, she even found it hard to distinguish dream from reality.
"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Yun Jin asked with concern.
Si Wanning struggled to sit up. Suddenly, she tightly gripped Yun Jin's hand.
Little Junior Sister's hand was warm.
Little Junior Sister's face was also this vivid.
No matter how many times the dream had repeated, this was reality.
Whether or not that dream was the original fate, now, they had already broken free of it.
Looking at Yun Jin, an endless grievance suddenly surged in Si Wanning's heart. She hugged Yun Jin and burst into loud sobs.
The people of Heavenly Sword Peak were somewhat at a loss.
From the words 'soul fusion', Yun Jin faintly guessed something. Her gaze grew solemn as she gently patted Si Wanning's back.
Si Wanning cried without any restraint, unable to stop.
Lin Ya and the others were completely confused.
Normally, after overcoming a Heart Demon, one should feel the joy of surviving a calamity, right?
Si Wanning, however, looked as if…
She had suffered countless grievances and had finally found someone who she could vent to.
What exactly happened to Si Wanning?
No one urged her, they simply waited quietly.
At last, after crying enough, Si Wanning wiped her tears and looked at everyone, a bit embarrassed, "Sorry, I… I couldn't help it for a moment."
"Passing the Heart Demon is a good thing. You are weeping from joy," Lin Ya said with a smile. "Come, let your master examine you, see if there are any hidden issues."
Si Wanning obediently extended her wrist.
Lin Ya examined carefully and found her spiritual power abundant, she even looked more energetic than before, which left him somewhat puzzled.
Generally, when struck by a Heart Demon, even if one survives, there is usually a period of weakness.
But Si Wanning had no such problem.
Her spiritual power was not only abundant, but even stronger than before, with a faint hint of breaking through a bottleneck.
"Master, is there any problem?" Yue Zhao asked nervously.
Lin Ya shook his head, "There's no problem at all. It doesn't even seem like she was invaded by a Heart Demon, it's more like she just took some heavenly treasure."
There's actually such a situation?
Yue Zhao and Yu Songnian were confused.
Si Wanning, however, vaguely realized that what she had just experienced was probably not a Heart Demon.
Si Wanning secretly glanced at Yun Jin, Little Junior Sister looked as if she was pondering.
Could it be that Little Junior Sister understood her situation?
Si Wanning did not ask Yun Jin in front of everyone. She waited until the others had dispersed, then secretly transmitted a message to Yun Jin.
When Yun Jin returned and only the two of them were present, Si Wanning finally revealed a panicked expression, "Xiao Jin, I… I just had a nightmare."
Yun Jin comforted her, "Senior Sister, it's only a dream. It cannot be taken as reality."
Si Wanning shook her head, "Xiao Jin, listen to me."
Si Wanning organized her words and carefully described the contents of the dream to Yun Jin.
Yun Jin already had her suspicions, after hearing Si Wanning, she became even more thoughtful.
This dream of Si Wanning's was clearly content from the previous life.
If she had not quick-transmigrated through countless worlds and restarted this one.
Then, that would originally already have been the fixed ending.
As for Second Senior Sister's situation…
To use a modern phrase, it's like rebirth.
The difference was.
Second Senior Sister had experienced it in the form of a dream, and her current life's soul retained absolute dominance. The memories of the previous life were fused into her as soul fragments.
For Second Senior Sister, this was a good thing.
First.
Like Eldest Senior Brother, it was equivalent to two souls fusing. Her soul potential would be greater.
Second.
She had glimpsed the original trajectory of fate and knew things she should not have known. In the future, she could avoid those crises.
"Xiao Jin," Si Wanning looked at Yun Jin a bit nervously, "in that dream, you never came to Heavenly Sword Peak."
Si Wanning did not know what Yun Jin's identity in the dream had been.
After all, in the previous life Yun Jin had entered the sect only to become Ye Danxia's maid. A maid who had not entered the immortal path would receive no attention.
Si Wanning and Yun Jin had no interactions in the previous life, not knowing was normal.
In fact, if not for hearing Si Wanning describe the dream, Yun Jin wouldn't have known what Si Wanning had gone through.
Back then, Yun Jin herself had already been imprisoned and could not access any outside information.
"Senior Sister," Yun Jin smiled lightly and said softly, "but in reality, I'm here, aren't I? We are all well. Master is well, Eldest Senior Brother is well, everyone is well."
There was a quiet certainty in Yun Jin's tone that set one at ease.
The paleness on Si Wanning's face gradually gave way to a flush. She said softly, "I just felt like that dream was overly real."
"Senior Sister, you can treat that dream as a kind of omen," Yun Jin said in comfort. "It is Heaven helping you, wanting you to avoid some dangers that might exist in the future."
Si Wanning's expression shifted slightly, she whispered, "Xiao Jin, do you think… that man will appear in reality? Did Ye Danxia really raise a member of the Demon Clan?"
Si Wanning's brows knit tightly.
In today's Cultivation World, humans and demons were already fiercely opposed against each other.
Though they had remained in the sect without going out, for the disciples who took missions outside, seven or eight out of ten of those missions involved the demonic cultivators or the Demon Clan.
If Ye Danxia so brazenly kept a demon, and it was discovered by the Demon-Destroying Alliance, the consequences would definitely be miserable!
But Si Wanning was also puzzled.
The methods cultivated by the Demon Clan and those of cultivators differ greatly. This is the main means by which the world of cultivation identifies demons. Yet in the dream, that man beside Ye Danxia had no demonic aura at all, she didn't know how he did that.
Yun Jin's expression was unreadable, "Since it is a warning from Heaven, that man will, in all likelihood, appear. But this time, we are already prepared in advance. What happened in the dream will absolutely not happen."
Hearing this, Si Wanning inexplicably felt at ease.
The plot of the dream had already changed long ago.
What's more, this time she had even had this prophetic dream.
If Ye Danxia still dared colluding with the Demon Clan…
A trace of darkness flashed in Si Wanning's eyes.
