Chapter 742

Xuan Qianlu sighed deeply, her consciousness becoming dim and heavy, and she was about to die.

However...

"Why do I still have consciousness?"

A moment later, Xuan Qianlu discovered that although she couldn't perceive her body, her consciousness hadn't dissipated.

Instead, it had become even clearer.

At the same time, some vague ancient memories began to emerge in her mind.

It was a starry universe where countless cultivators were practicing.

Xuan Qianlu seemed to have been one of them once.

However, Xuan Qianlu had another name in that era.

That name was very blurry.

Xuan Qianlu only remembered that in that era, her aptitude was just as poor.

She was almost an adult and had only just reached Foundation Establishment, not much stronger than an ordinary mortal...

At the same time, along with these memories, a technique slowly emerged in her heart.

"The Heavenly Dao divides aptitude; how unfair is this?"

"If the Heavenly Dao is unfair, I shall swallow the heavens! To compensate for myself and step onto the Emperor's path!"

"It is called..."

"Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art!"

A cold voice emerged in Xuan Qianlu's consciousness, explaining a peerless technique!

This technique was the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art!

"These... what are these memories?"

"Is what's written in the diary true? Am I really the reincarnation of an ancient Great Emperor?"

"Now that I'm dead, I'm starting to awaken memories?"

"Is this the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art written in the diary?"

Xuan Qianlu felt these inexplicably appearing memories, her heart shocked and overjoyed.

She had just felt that the reincarnation of a Great Emperor and resurrection after death were all fantasies.

Now she no longer had that thought.

Memories and even the technique had appeared; how could this be fake?

And the fact that Xuan Qianlu could have such a change was naturally Su Zhangqing's credit.

He used the system's "fabricate plot" function to rewrite Xuan Qianlu's fate.

At this moment, Xuan Qianlu was no longer the seventeen-year-old princess of the Nine Mysteries Divine Dynasty with mediocre aptitude.

She was a true reincarnation of a Great Emperor!

Just as Xuan Qianlu was immersed in the awakened "ancient memories."

Su Zhangqing's diary started updating again.

【Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art, this name really makes one nostalgic.】

【This technique can plunder the origin of others and change one's own aptitude! Finally, cultivating it to perfection can even achieve one of the strongest Saint Bodies: the Flawless Chaos Body!】

【However, this technique is too domineering and is not an orthodox sect technique, so it is called a Devil Art.】

【It is a technique created by the Ruthless Empress herself, specifically to compensate for her naturally mediocre aptitude; she relied on this technique to make up for her flaws and finally stepped onto the Emperor's path...】

"So that's it; is this the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art?"

"It's indeed very domineering! It can actually plunder the origin of others?"

"Such a technique was actually created by me in ancient times?"

"My past life is truly amazing!"

Xuan Qianlu looked at the diary while sensing the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art appearing in her consciousness, her heart shocked.

Just looking at the text of this technique, there was an invincible spirit that swallowed the heavens, extremely domineering...

It was called Heaven-Swallowing!

If this wasn't domineering, what was?

However, later on, this figure disappeared into darkness and made no sound.

"After resurrection, I can use this Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art to compensate for my aptitude and truly start cultivating!"

"In ancient times, I could use this technique to step onto the Emperor's path, which shows its powerful effect!"

Xuan Qianlu felt endless joy in her heart.

The previous despair was swept away and turned into hope.

After all, she was now the reincarnation of a Great Emperor and could be resurrected even after death.

Then what was there to be desperate about?

So, she listened intently to that cold voice, preparing to start cultivating the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art.

After all, this technique was the key to her resurrection.

But a moment later, she stopped, thoughtful.

"Wait, is this technique too full of baleful energy? Plundering the origin of others—what happens to the others?"

Xuan Qianlu was hesitant.

She was gentle by nature and had never done anything bad.

The only time was probably sneaking a peek at Su Zhangqing's diary before she died.

Asking her to cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art and plunder others' origins was truly hard to accept.

"If I use the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art to plunder others' origins to cultivate, how is that different from my father now?"

"Father uses the lives of living beings to cultivate, and if I plunder others' origins, it's about the same as slaughtering living beings."

"I know too well what it feels like to have poor aptitude; I have suffered enough because of it myself, so how can I let others suffer the same..."

The more Xuan Qianlu thought, the more she shook her head.

She thought of Xuan Wujiu.

Xuan Wujiu cultivated the Nine Mysteries World-Extinguishing Book, slaughtering living beings, and even Xuan Qianlu herself died because of it.

If Xuan Qianlu also cultivated a similar Devil Art, she couldn't get past this hurdle in her heart.

Because Xuan Qianlu had suffered cold glares due to her poor aptitude, how could she bear to swallow others' origins to cultivate?

It must be said that people are different.

If it were someone with a dark heart, where would there be such hesitation?

They would definitely practice it first.

After all, Xuan Qianlu was killed by her own father; wouldn't it make sense for her to turn dark?

But Xuan Qianlu was actually struggling like this.

In the original novel, Xuan Qianlu was exactly this kind of temperament.

Even until she was killed by her father in the end, she had no resentment.

The author used her kindness to set off Xuan Wujiu's cruelty; she was just a tool...
