Luo Mingyue's expression involuntarily changed slightly.
Suddenly, she realized.
Ye Zhaozhao's final obsession was truly insidious!
Since she was already dead, she no longer cared about her reputation after death. Her last obsession, seemingly to make Li Shuang experience what she had experienced.
In reality.
She wanted Li Shuang's reputation to be ruined as well!
In Ye Zhaozhao's obsession.
Li Shuang had no memories of her own.
She genuinely believed she was Ye Zhaozhao.
Then.
In the same situation as Ye Zhaozhao, what choices would Li Shuang make?
If Li Shuang also made the same mistakes as Ye Zhaozhao, even if those things weren't actually done by Li Shuang, it would still draw questions about her character.
For instance.
Comments like, "If you were in Ye Zhaozhao's situation, you would also be a second Ye Zhaozhao," would escalate!
However.
The demon-slaying formation was still active, and Ye Zhaozhao's obsession hadn't dissipated.
Though they were anxious, they could only watch eagerly.
In the water curtain.
Scenes from Ye Zhaozhao's previous life flashed by quickly.
"This Ye Zhaozhao actually came from another small world," a Tribulation Transcendence stage expert said slowly.
The higher one's cultivation reached, the more one realized the vastness of the world.
There were countless small worlds, and their world was just one of them.
The world Ye Zhaozhao belonged to was clearly different from theirs.
Now.
Li Shuang, in the obsession, also gained all of Ye Zhaozhao's past life memories.
In Li Shuang's mind, she was the transmigator Ye Zhaozhao.
"Ye Zhaozhao. It's good that you're awake. The Sword Sect will select a batch of inner peak disciples in a few days. If you sleep any longer, you'll miss the deadline," the disciple kindly reminded her.
Li Shuang rubbed her temples and softly acknowledged.
Seeing that she was fine, the disciple turned and left.
As soon as the disciple left, a voice suddenly echoed in Li Shuang's mind.
"Transmigrator welfare has arrived. Do you wish to bind the Parasitic System? This system can allow you to easily plunder others' cultivation for your own use, and thus reach the pinnacle of life." The voice carried a hint of temptation.
"System? What's that! Is it the demon that just came out of Ye Zhaozhao's body?"
"What is this thing that can plunder others' cultivation for one's own use?"
The scene instantly erupted in an uproar.
Clearly.
Ye Zhaozhao ended up in such a state because she had bound this so-called system.
Everyone couldn't help but ask themselves.
What if it were them?
Would they bind this system?
Most people couldn't definitively say yes or no.
And Li Shuang?
What choice would she make?
"Parasitic system? Plundering others' cultivation for my own use?" Li Shuang frowned. Was such a thing really reliable?
Li Shuang didn't respond to the voice in her mind; she walked directly out of the room.
The system grew anxious and its voice rang out again: "Currently in the Sword Sect, there is a peerless genius named Li Shuang. She is a natural sword cultivator and possesses a supreme heavenly spiritual root. And you, you are merely a miscellaneous spiritual root. With such a spiritual root, no matter how hard you cultivate, you will struggle to reach the Grand Dao! As long as you bind the system, we can take everything from Li Shuang. From then on, you will be the true genius!"
The expressions of the people from Lingxu Peak changed slightly.
Sheng Yuan's face turned completely pale.
Seeing this situation, what more was there for him not to understand! Over those ten years, Li Shuang's cultivation had been stolen by Ye Zhaozhao using this parasitic system!
And they were nothing short of accomplices! Everyone already knew what choice the original Ye Zhaozhao had made.
What about Li Shuang?
What choice would Li Shuang make?
Li Shuang knitted her brows and said coldly, "Plundering others' cultivation? Are you truly legitimate?"
The system was momentarily stunned. "I can help you reach the pinnacle."
Li Shuang said expressionlessly, "I have two lifetimes of experience. Can I not reach the pinnacle by relying on myself?"
Currently.
Her memories were Ye Zhaozhao's.
However.
Li Shuang's proud soul had not changed in the slightest.
Even with a miscellaneous spiritual root, she had never doubted herself.
Without relying on such evil things, she could still reach the pinnacle!
The system was somewhat exasperated: "If you don't choose to parasitize, I will make you suffer the agony of soul-gnawing and bone-eating day and night!"
As the system's voice fell, Li Shuang felt an immense pain in her soul, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
"How about it? Do you know fear now? As long as you bind me, you won't have to suffer this pain anymore, and you can reach the pinnacle of life." The system kept tempting her.
It didn't believe anyone could resist such temptation.
Amidst the intense pain, a cold, indifferent smile appeared on Li Shuang's lips.
"What are you smiling at?" the system couldn't help but ask.
Li Shuang said calmly, "Forcing people to bind with you, and then getting furious and making them suffer excruciating pain if rejected. You, like this, are indeed no good thing."
System: "???"
It immediately became enraged and further intensified the punishment.
Sometimes it was lightning strikes, sometimes acupuncture, the pain was inescapable.
But Li Shuang ignored it all; she calmly walked out of the room.
In a few days, the Sword Sect would recruit inner peak disciples, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
After Li Shuang understood the basic situation of the Sword Sect, the pain slowly disappeared.
"Just you wait, in a few days, you'll regret it," the system's menacing voice rang out.
It hadn't absorbed any energy yet, and its punitive measures were quite limited. The previous punishment had exhausted its accumulated energy, and it still needed to quietly gather strength.
Li Shuang simply ignored it.
She peacefully became an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, and then, she diligently studied cultivation techniques and practiced her sword day and night.
However, the spiritual root aptitude of Ye Zhaozhao's body was indeed too poor.
Even Li Shuang couldn't make significant progress in just a few days. During the Sword Sect's inner peak disciple selection competition, she unquestionably failed.
At this moment.
The system popped up again: "How about it? It really can't be done by yourself, can it? As long as you choose to bind me, you won't have to cultivate assiduously anymore. You can plunder anyone's cultivation you want. Isn't that good?"
Li Shuang still ignored it.
The system furiously punished her for a while, seeing that Li Shuang remained unyielding, the system could only fall silent again.
In the subsequent water curtain.
On one hand, Li Shuang practiced her sword and cultivated day and night.
Her current body's talent for swordsmanship was also mediocre, but Li Shuang was focused enough. If she couldn't learn profound sword techniques, she would learn basic ones.
Every sword strike, she put in her full effort.
Every time, she desperately improved herself.
On the other hand, she utilized the advantage of her memories from two worlds and chose the same path as Ye Zhaozhao: cooperating with the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.
True Lord Lingxu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Look!
Li Shuang also went to cooperate with the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion!
When she had said Ye Zhaozhao shouldn't have done it, she was so self-righteous, but now, wasn't she doing the same thing herself?
