Chapter 51: Remember and Abandon 51

"Remember in my past life, when I had just turned sixteen, I was suddenly possessed by Divine spirits while cultivating the Heavenly Heart Technique, and I had an epiphany overnight. I advanced from First Rank to Fourth Rank. Then, within less than a year, I crossed the peak of the Ninth Rank at an astonishing speed and reached a higher realm—the Sword Master Realm. And in the years following, I even reached the Sword Saint Realm, becoming a legend that countless swordsmen could only look up to."

"Even till today, Mu Hanyan couldn’t figure out why such a transformation took place."

"After resting for a moment, Mu Hanyan cast aside all distractions. The past was the past; some things could be remembered, but others had to be let go. The priority was to enhance her strength."

Mu Hanyan repeatedly circulated the Heavenly Heart Technique, trying to find the satisfying sensation of Qi flowing freely that she had experienced in her previous cultivation."

"Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Two hours had passed, her strength had not improved noticeably, and the condensation of Qi was still painfully slow, almost negligible."

"Hey, are you joking with me? Making me run hundreds of miles and it’s still the same as before?" Mu Hanyan took out the Star Compass, her voice tinged with resentment."

As soon as she finished speaking, the compass in her hand trembled violently, shaking so much that Mu Hanyan could hardly hold onto it."

"Hey, hey, hey, I was just complaining a bit—do you have to get so worked up?" Mu Hanyan gripped the compass tightly, fearing it might shatter from all the excitement."

"Hum"—from the Star Compass came a pleasant humming, melodious and vast, resembling the legendary music of the Nine Heavens."

Mu Hanyan was stunned; she couldn’t understand how the old and worn Star Compass could emit such a pleasant sound. Just then, a red glow enveloped the sky."

Mu Hanyan looked up and saw hundreds of meteors falling from the sky."

Meteor Shower, a rare sight that appears once in a thousand years!"

Normally, Mu Hanyan might have gotten slightly excited and admired this spectacle, but now, she couldn’t feel any excitement at all, nor was she in the mood to watch this beautiful scene. The reason was simple—the meteors were falling directly where she was."

In just a few breaths, a vast expanse of red meteoric fire enveloped half the sky, intertwining like a massive web of flames descending upon her, with Mu Hanyan at the center."

"Seriously! I just complained a bit, and now you want to fight me to death?" Mu Hanyan didn’t have time to think further; she tucked the Star Compass into her chest and started to run. She had never seen such a petty divine artifact—it was actually ready to battle its owner just over a few complaints?"

Mu Hanyan wanted to run, but with thousands of meteors raining down densely like a torrential downpour, where could she possibly go?"

She had only run about fifteen steps when the scorching firelight completely surrounded her."

"She was doomed!"

Was she to die a tragic death once again in this life? Perhaps even more miserably than in her last life, being struck by a meteor shower meant being utterly obliterated, leaving no remains to bury! Mu Hanyan felt a wave of depression."

"Boom, boom..." Thunderous roars filled her ears, the sound of meteors crashing to the ground."

Such meteors—let alone a meteor shower—even a single one was enough to obliterate Mu Hanyan’s body and even flatten Heishi City for hundreds of miles."
