Chapter 282: A Thoughtful Older Sister

Yao Mengyun sat beneath a tree, meticulously cleaning her sword.

“Ah, I truly admire Miss Mengyun,” a voice sighed.

“Me too,” another chimed in. “Miss Mengyun’s existence is simply a role model for us all!”

Within the Fanhua Sacred Lands, the female disciples behind her couldn’t help but express their admiration as they watched Yao Mengyun.

Flower petals drifted down from the tree, gently landing on Yao Mengyun.

Her figure appeared slightly emaciated, yet exuded an air of admirable resilience.

It was as if nothing in this world could ever break her.

“Miss Mengyun seems to have lost weight again,” one disciple whispered.

“Yes,” another agreed. “Although we admire her, it’s truly heartbreaking to see Miss Mengyun like this.”

Within the Sacred Lands, the Fanhua Saintess was revered by all disciples as a holy and supreme being, worthy only of admiration and aspiration.

As the Saintess’s younger sister, Yao Mengyun, although her cultivation strength was far inferior, still commanded immense respect from countless disciples.

The reason was simple: they admired Yao Mengyun’s unwavering Dao Heart.

For ordinary cultivators, even with immense strength and extraordinary power, there was no guarantee of controlling one’s Dao Heart.

As the most crucial element for cultivators, any damage to the Dao Heart could lead to devastating consequences.

For ordinary cultivators, even a single shattering of the Dao Heart was incredibly difficult to repair, potentially leading to irreversible decline.

But Yao Mengyun was different.

When her Dao Heart first shattered, she relied on superhuman willpower to restore it. Her cultivation, instead of regressing, actually advanced. She practically defied all conventional understanding of Dao Heart shattering, achieving what seemed like a miracle.

As her Dao Heart shattered repeatedly, Yao Mengyun remained undeterred. Finally, today, she emerged from seclusion, having recovered her Dao Heart.

Moreover, the disciples noticed with astonishment that Yao Mengyun’s cultivation had significantly improved.

She had now reached the peak of the Opening Profound Realm, a mere step away from breaking through to the Transforming Sea Realm.

Shattered yet rebuilt, broken yet unyielding.

Only Yao Mengyun could achieve such a miracle!

Although they rejoiced that Miss Mengyun’s shattered Dao Heart had become an opportunity for her strength to soar, the female disciples still felt a pang of heartache watching her endure it repeatedly.

“I truly hope Miss Mengyun’s Dao Heart will never shatter again,” one wished aloud.

“Yes,” another replied. “But Miss Mengyun has already shattered it so many times, and now her Dao Heart is much stronger than before. It shouldn’t shatter again, right?”

As soon as a female disciple finished speaking, she realized all eyes were on her.

“Uh, I feel like you just raised a remarkable flag,” someone commented.

“D-did I?” she stammered.

“What do you think?”

All eyes remained fixed on the female disciple, sending shivers down her spine.

“Pretend I didn’t say anything! How could I jinx Miss Mengyun? Miss Mengyun is so powerful. It’s just a trip to the Desert Forbidden Area. How could something so coincidental happen? Hahaha, how could the world be so coincidental? Really, hahaha…”

Everyone: “…”

The female disciple: “…”

“I really didn’t mean it!”

Unfortunately, her explanation seemed weak and unconvincing.

The playful banter behind her continued, but Yao Mengyun simply focused on cleaning her sword, paying no attention.

The blade was sharp, gleaming with a cold light.

Like her sword, Yao Mengyun was resolute and unwavering.

The repeated shattering of her Dao Heart had indeed plunged her into despair.

But it was precisely these shatterings that propelled her forward, time and time again.

Not only did her cultivation increase at an extraordinary pace, but the stability of her Dao Heart became as firm as a rock.

Now, she felt as if her Dao Heart had weathered the scouring of a vast ocean for millennia, virtually indestructible and unshakeable.

As she polished, the blade seemed to grow increasingly sharp and radiant, and Yao Mengyun’s gaze gradually sharpened.

Time and again, her Dao Heart had shattered because of Nie Chen.

But did she hate him?

The answer was no.

Yao Mengyun knew she had never hated Nie Chen.

On the contrary, it was because of him that she had progressed so much.

Despite the multiple Dao Heart breakages, Yao Mengyun felt no fear or hatred towards Nie Chen, only a burning desire to surpass him.

This time, Yao Mengyun was more confident than ever before.

During her long seclusion, her Dao Heart had not only been restored but strengthened, and her cultivation had soared.

In this Forbidden Area trial, no matter what happened, she would not lose to Nie Chen again.

This time, victory would be hers!

Yao Mengyun sheathed her sword, a confident glint in her eyes.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted over, refreshing and invigorating.

In the distance, a graceful and holy figure descended.

“Sister,” Yao Mengyun greeted respectfully, bowing slightly as she hung her sword back on her waist.

Despite their sisterly bond, Yao Mengyun always treated her sister with the reverence due to the Saintess, never showing any disrespect.

Except… for the time she overheard the conversation between Nie Chen and the Saintess.

The turmoil caused by that encounter remained unresolved.

Yao Mengyun could only comfort herself with the excuse that she had misheard.

After all, how could her sister, the noble and holy Fanhua Saintess, possibly engage in such shameful acts under Nie Chen’s coercion?

It must have been a misunderstanding.

“Keep this wooden box safe,” the Fanhua Saintess said with a gentle smile, handing a wooden box to Yao Mengyun. “Inside is a Heavenly Grade bamboo flute. If you encounter any trouble, use its power to resolve it.”

“A Heavenly Grade magical treasure!” Even Yao Mengyun was astonished.

Heavenly Grade magical treasures were incredibly valuable and possessed immense power.

“Thank you, Sister,” Yao Mengyun accepted the box with gratitude, carefully putting it away.

“Use it without worry. With this bamboo flute, nothing in the Secret Realm should be able to trouble you.”

Despite her words, the Fanhua Saintess still harbored a slight worry, given Yao Mengyun’s recent Dao Heart ordeals.

With a gentle tap of her finger, she imprinted a spell into Yao Mengyun’s mind.

“This spell will allow you to sense the aura lingering on objects, helping you avoid danger.”

As points of light merged into Yao Mengyun’s forehead, the Fanhua Saintess finally relaxed, a hint of pride and excitement welling up within her.

“With this, everything is settled!”

With these two safeguards, there was no way Yao Mengyun could encounter any further mishaps.

She truly was a thoughtful older sister! o(*^▽^*)!
