Chapter 152 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 1
I'm so hungry...
The eerie sound kept echoing in the system's ears, making it wish it could lock itself in a dark room for some peace and quiet.
But thinking about it, the host really has it tough.
In the previous world, due to health reasons, he was unable to eat and drink to his heart's content, so it's not surprising that he feels particularly craving food now.
It could only offer words of comfort: "Once your soul awakens and your physical body is rebuilt, you can eat whatever you want. This is the world of cultivation; there are plenty of delicious foods brimming with spiritual energy..."
[System! I hate you!]
Knowing full well that she can't have it, he still makes her crave it.
System: ...Okay, I'll shut up.
The system went silent, but Yun Qing felt even more frustrated.
She can't sense the outside world now, so she can only talk to the system.
[System, I'm so bored...]
If you're bored, watch the plot a few more times.
Yun Qing said irritably, "What's so interesting about it? Just watching how the male lead gets bored with the old and craves new things?"
The original owner, Chu Yunqing, and the male protagonist of this world, Zong Yunze, were fellow disciples. They often cultivated together, had a close relationship, and eventually naturally became Daoist partners.
However, an accident occurred during the marriage ceremony. Chu Yunqing sacrificed herself to save Zong Yunze, and her soul was scattered.
In the end, it was only through the intervention of their master that they were able to barely retrieve a wisp of her remnant soul, but that wisp of soul had already merged with demonic energy.
The remnant soul is too weak; if the demonic energy is expelled, this wisp of soul cannot be preserved.
However, if the demonic energy is not dispelled, even if this remnant soul is healed, it will inevitably become possessed by a demon.
Zong Yunze tried many methods and put in a lot of effort before finally managing to expel the demonic energy little by little while preserving the remnant soul. He then patiently nurtured this wisp of remnant soul, hoping to awaken her and reshape her physical body.
In the original storyline, this process took Zong Yunze a total of one thousand years.
It shouldn't have taken that long originally, but in the last two hundred years, Zong Yunze had a naive and innocent little disciple whom he doted on and spoiled. Later, he developed feelings for her and inevitably became somewhat lax.
The system said that according to the plot, she would not wake up for another two hundred years, so now should be the time when Zong Yunze takes in his little disciple and shows her all kinds of favoritism.
Eight hundred years is a long time for mortals, but it's really not long for cultivators.
But people's hearts are always changing.
After Zong Yunze fully realized his feelings for his little apprentice, he finally understood that his feelings for Chu Yunqing were not romantic love.
Out of guilt, he was eager to wake Chu Yunqing up.
Just then, a rare soul-nourishing treasure appeared, which he found and finally managed to awaken Chu Yunqing's incomplete soul. Then, he hurriedly stuffed her soul into the wooden figure, allowing her to rebuild her body and be resurrected.
After Chu Yunqing came back to life, she was overjoyed, thinking that she could finally be with her Daoist partner for a long time.
Zong Yunze seemed quite happy, because he felt he had repaid the debt of life he owed Chu Yunqing.
So, without any guilt, he pursued true love and got together with his young apprentice.
He was even somewhat relieved that the original covenant ceremony had not been completed.
Upon waking up, Chu Yunqing was confronted with her Daoist partner's change of heart, which she found unbelievable and difficult to accept.
What she found even harder to accept was that after her physical body was reshaped, her aptitude became extremely ordinary.
It should be noted that she was once a genius whose talent was no less than that of Zong Yunze.
The sudden change in his qualifications was no less devastating than Zong Yunze's change of heart.
Especially after she thought about it carefully, she realized that her condition was not due to Zong Yunze's inability to help, but rather because he couldn't wait any longer and didn't want to put in the effort.
A thousand years later, Zong Yunze is already the number one righteous cultivator in the cultivation world. If he really wanted to, he could find even better natural treasures than that spirit wood to reshape her physical body and give her better aptitude.
But he didn't.
This realization chilled Chu Yunqing to the bone.
Even disregarding the fact that the two almost became Daoist partners, they were still fellow disciples under the same master, and their relationship was extremely good. Moreover, she perished and her Dao disappeared because she was trying to save him.
But in order to be with his little apprentice more quickly and comfortably, he treated her so perfunctorily, without considering her future at all.
Chu Yunqing suffered repeated setbacks in her cultivation and watched helplessly as Zong Yunze and her little disciple became affectionate, finally unable to hold back and turned to the dark side.
The story says that she became evil and turned to demons because her soul had been corrupted by demonic energy.
But Yun Qing felt that this was clearly a result of being provoked.
Her cultivation partner changed his mind, ruining her path to immortality. She had to watch the scumbag and her little disciple be all lovey-dovey, and watch helplessly as that naive and innocent girl's cultivation far surpassed that of her, a former genius.
It's so frustrating to even think about it.
In the end, Chu Yunqing was killed by the enraged Zong Yunze himself, because she had hurt his precious little darling.
No one thought Zong Yunze did anything wrong, because Chu Yunqing had already fallen into demonic possession and deserved to die!
Even when people think about how Zong Yunze spent a thousand years and put in so much effort, only to end up saving a demon, they feel sorry for him.

The Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect is now undoubtedly the number one immortal sect in the cultivation world.
Inside the sect's main hall, the young men and women who had passed several tests stood with their heads bowed, their faces showing barely concealed anticipation, excitement, and trepidation.
The people standing here are all those who have been recognized by the Liuyun Immortal Sect and are qualified to become disciples of the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
However, whether one will ultimately become an outer disciple or an inner disciple, and whose sect one will be able to follow, remains uncertain.
Several elders in the sect who were interested in taking on disciples had been paying close attention to the previous assessments and already had candidates in mind. Without further ado, they directly pointed out the candidates.
Those who were chosen were delighted, and no one refused.
After all, becoming a disciple of a sect elder is exactly what they aspire to.
Although their most revered figure was still the immortal venerable one in their sect.
However, that immortal venerable one does not easily accept disciples. Currently, he only has two disciples under his name, both of whom are extremely talented and have extraordinary aptitude.
With their qualifications, they probably don't meet the requirements of a Celestial Venerable.
Moreover, the immortal venerable did not appear at this disciple-acceptance ceremony, which means he probably had no intention of accepting disciples, leaving them with only regret.
As the elders selected their chosen individuals one by one, the remaining people grew increasingly nervous.
At this moment, the sect master of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect, who was sitting upright above, suddenly stood up, his expression showing a hint of surprise, "Senior brother, you're back?"
Upon hearing this, the oppressive atmosphere in the hall instantly became somewhat restless.
Everyone knows that Qi Yu, the sect leader of Liuyun Immortal Sect, and Yunze Immortal Venerable, the current recognized leader of the righteous path in the cultivation world, were both disciples of the previous sect leader and were close fellow disciples.
Immortal Venerable Yunze was aloof and indifferent, and had no interest in the position of sect leader. In the end, the position of sect leader fell to this Sect Leader Qi.
The previous sect leader of the Liuyun Immortal Sect was also someone who didn't like to take on disciples; he only had three direct disciples in total.
As the junior brother, Qi Yu always held Yunze Immortal Venerable in high esteem, and the two had a close relationship.
The person who could be addressed as "senior brother" and show such delight must be none other than Immortal Venerable Yunze.
