[Three thousand years ago.]
[Wen Zhen and Zuo Yingchun were both cultivating at the Skyguard Temple on the East Sea Continent.]
[Both of them were extraordinarily gifted. They cultivated together and had a very strong bond.]
[Two thousand seven hundred years ago, Zuo Yingchun ascended to the Heavenly Realm and became an immortal.]
[At that time, Wen Zhen was already at the mid-stage of the Ascension realm.]
[If there were no unexpected events, she would also have had the chance to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.]
[But one day, a demonic cultivator came to the Skyguard Temple.]
[He wanted to seize the temple's treasured artifact, the Wentian Ruler.]
[Naturally, the people of the Skyguard Temple refused.]
[This triggered a great battle.]
[The demonic cultivator was at the peak of the Ascension realm.]
[In just half a day, he slaughtered the entire Skyguard Temple.]
[Wen Zhen was the only one left, struggling to hold on. She intended to take the Wentian Ruler and escape.]
[But she was blocked by the demonic cultivator.]
[With overwhelming power, the demonic cultivator seized the Wentian Ruler, and gravely injured Wen Zhen.]
[Wen Zhen cursed at him.]
[In anger, the demonic cultivator used a secret technique to banish her to the place of exile.]
[Since then, Wen Zhen had been trapped here.]
[She had muddled through more than two thousand years.]
[After hearing her story, Zuo Yingchun was already in tears.]
[She kept asking Wen Zhen who the demonic cultivator was.]
[Wen Zhen shook her head slightly.]
[She said that the past couldn't be recalled and that the demonic cultivator had likely already ascended to the Heavenly Realm, so there was no point in talking about it.]
[Then she asked Zuo Yingchun why she had returned to the mortal world.]
[Zuo Yingchun told Wen Zhen that she had encountered an enemy in the Heavenly Realm. After being killed, she used a secret technique to be reborn.]
[However, she didn't regret it.]
[Because in this life, she had met her beloved Dao companion.]
[Saying this, Zuo Yingchun took your hand.]
[And introduced you to Wen Zhen, saying you were also a reincarnated immortal named Li Dong.]
[Unexpectedly.]
[Upon hearing this, Wen Zhen suddenly started trembling all over.]
[She kept backing away.]
[Crying out: The demonic cultivator who destroyed Skyguard Temple was called Li Dong!]
[Hearing this, you frowned slightly, firmly stating that it was absolutely impossible.]
[Zuo Yingchun was also slightly stunned.]
[She then went to Wen Zhen's side, asking if she was mistaken. How could the person who destroyed Skyguard Temple be Li Dong?]
[Wen Zhen shouted, No, I am not mistaken, I will never be mistaken.]
[She stared at you intensely, claiming that over two thousand years ago, when you came to the Skyguard Temple, you were wearing a mask.]
[So she never saw your face clearly.]
[But she clearly remembered that there was a scar on the back of your left hand.]
[Zuo Yingchun's face instantly turned pale.]
[She stared intently at your left hand.]
[You looked down as well.]
[Indeed, there was a scar on the back of your left hand, caused by a fishhook injury when you were young.]
[But what does this prove?]
[You knew very well that "Li Dong" was just a name you mentioned casually.]
[How could it be such a coincidence that you were the demonic cultivator who destroyed Zuo Yingchun's sect?]
[Besides, the scar on the back of your hand can be easily seen by anyone; it didn't prove anything.]
[So you reprimanded Wen Zhen, calling her claims nonsense!]
[Zuo Yingchun's face immediately turned grim.]
[She softly murmured, No wonder you kept saying that your memory hadn't recovered.]
[Did you know all along that I was from Skyguard Temple, so you said that on purpose?]
[Faced with this question, you felt speechless and annoyed.]
[You straightforwardly declared that you were never a reincarnated immortal.]
[The only reason you admitted it was because Zuo Yingchun kept pestering you back then.]
[So you went along with it.]
[And all these years, you had been looking for a chance to clarify this.]
[For this purpose, you even made a memory stone.]
[After saying this, you took out a memory stone from your storage ring and placed it in front of Zuo Yingchun.]
[She looked at it solemnly, reaching out to take it.]
[At that moment.]
[Wen Zhen, with a venomous expression, told Zuo Yingchun that you had planned all this deliberately.]
[She claimed that the content of the memory stone couldn't be trusted!]
[Then she continued to manipulate Zuo Yingchun.]
[Senior Sister, have you forgotten our master and mistress?]
[They died miserably, tortured to death by the demonic cultivator.]
[Now is not the time to be soft-hearted!]
[Kill him, avenge our master and mistress, and the entire sect!]
[Zuo Yingchun trembled all over, deeply conflicted.]
[She kept whispering, I can't do it, I really can't.]
[One was the sect that raised her in her previous life, the other was her lover in this life.]
[Zuo Yingchun truly didn't know what to do.]
[At this moment, you also realized.]
[This woman named Wen Zhen was nothing but trouble.]
[She was the one stirring up everything.]
[Although you didn't know why she was doing this, you were already burning with anger.]
[You drew the flying sword that Zhuang Chengbi had given you and struck Wen Zhen's soul.]
[Ah!]
[A chilling scream echoed throughout the place of exile.]
[Senior Sister, when the Skyguard Temple was destroyed, you weren't there. Do you still want to watch this demon torment me now?]
[Upon hearing this, Zuo Yingchun quickly snapped out of it.]
[She hurriedly rushed forward and forcefully pushed you away!]
[She shouted, stop hitting her, she has suffered enough!]
[Zuo Yingchun didn't notice.]
[At that moment, she was still holding the soul-stopping spike used for setting up the array.]
[In the process of pushing you, it struck you directly in the chest.]
[Blood began to drip.]
[Seeing this, Zuo Yingchun looked at the soul-stopping spike in her hand in disbelief.]
[She quickly ran to your side, saying it wasn't intentional.]
[Then she took out a pill, trying to save you.]
[The soul-stopping spike, as its name suggests, stops the soul with one strike. How could a mere pill save you?]
[Blood quickly soaked your robe.]
[The pill couldn't save your life.]
[In your final moments, you picked up the memory stone once more and placed it in Zuo Yingchun's hand.]
The dream ended, the scene completely shattered.
Ye Yu felt an overwhelming frustration.
How hateful!
Such a promising golden talent, yet he died unexpectedly before he could make his mark.
That ghost named Wen Zhen definitely had something up her sleeve.
She schemed to drive a wedge between him and Zuo Yingchun.
Constantly sowing discord, it was infuriating!
[This dream experience concludes.]
[Died at the age of 281.]
[Dream evaluation: Average+.]
[You have gained an ability from this dream life.]
[Profound Heart Sword (Great Achievement Level).]
Listening to the system's voice, Ye Yu let out a long breath.
He didn't expect the reward to be quite good.
A Heaven-grade technique, even though it's not at the perfection level.
But with the memories from the dream, improving it further in the future shouldn't be too difficult.
As Ye Yu was contemplating this.
The spiritual boat suddenly began to shake violently.
Explosions echoed all around.
