Chapter 5: 5. Lingtian Continent
But who could have guessed, the one the Crown Prince truly favored was Mo Jiuli's elder sister, the little genius of the Mo Family, Mo Jiuqi. The two had a covert affection and were privately pledged to each other...
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince tried to dissolve the marriage agreement a few times with his Emperor Father, but he was always turned down with excuses like the Empress Dowager wouldn't allow it...
Thus, this time Mo Jiuqi and the Crown Prince decided to end all possibilities and cunningly tricked Mo Jiuli into a trap they had set in the Demon Beast Forest, intending to burn her alive and completely erase her from this world...
And indeed, the original Mo Jiuli was burned to death, thus allowing her soul from the modern world to cross over...
Aside from the past memories of how Mo Jiuli was bullied, she also recalled her arrival in this world, escaping from a sea of fire, evading the wolves, dealing with an aphrodisiac and antidote...
Feeling a little into it, upon realizing a strong signal of overuse from a certain part of her body, the corner of Mo Jiuli's lips twitched harshly...
She was indeed in bad luck, crossing over to become a waste was bad enough. She had been burned and chased by wolves, and even that was bearable. But she was actually dosed with an aphrodisiac, and couldn't even clearly see what the antidote looked like...
She vaguely remembered that from start to end, the antidote never seemed to wake up, causing Mo Jiuli's body to shudder. Perhaps she was so deeply poisoned that she used a corpse to detoxify...
On second thought she felt it was impossible. If it had been a corpse, there's no way it could perform a detoxification...
Even though her consciousness was blurry at the time, she could recall the heart-wrenching pain, so the antidote should have been alive...
Based on the memories in the original owner's mind, Mo Jiuli learned that this place is called Lingtian Continent, similar to ancient times recorded in 21st century history, but also different. To put it plainly, this is an imaginary era often seen in novels...
People born here can cultivate, by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to enhance their cultivation base. Because of this cultivation, the lifespan of people in this world has become prolonged...
Even an average person, as long as they seriously cultivate, could live for a few hundred years...
It's said when cultivation reaches a certain realm, not only can one keep their youthful looks, but also attain eternal life. Thinking about this, Mo Jiuli smirks; it seems cultivating is similar to eating Monk Tang's flesh...
Of course, although most people can cultivate, there are exceptions, such as Mo Jiuli. The term for these exceptions is 'Trash'...
Children on Lingtian Continent generally undergo a Spiritual Power Test at the age of three. Children with exceptional talents would be directly taken by the mysterious Sects of the continent as disciples for careful guidance...
Though most people on the Lingtian Continent can cultivate, and there are plenty with good talents, but those with demon-like talents are few and far between, with a ratio similar to those considered 'Trash'...
Mo Jiuli was very lucky to become one of the few 'Trash' at her third-year Spiritual Power Test...
Furthermore, Lingtian Continent is a place where might is right, where the strong are respected. Here, only those with enough strength have the right to speak...
Whether it's in front of the royal family or any other force, if you're strong enough, you can do as you please, but if you're trash, you'd have to let others do as they please with you...
Mo Jiuli looked at the injuries on her body, finally after sighing 250 times, she looked around. No matter what, she needed to think of a way to leave this place...
