Hundreds of years ago, in the eastern part of the Star-Moon Forest.
That place is under the jurisdiction of the Xingyu Sect, and the Xingyu Sect is one of the top four forces in the Dingzhou Dynasty.
If we compare Yuxu Sect with Xingyu Sect, Yuxu Sect can only be regarded as the light of fireflies and cannot be compared at all.
You must know that the Golden Core Realm is a cultivation level that can reach the pinnacle in Yuxu Sect and even the entire Jiangnan Prefecture.
However, in the Xingyu Sect, the Golden Core Realm can only be considered to be in the middle or upper reaches, not to mention catching a lot, but it is not unusual.
Above the golden elixir is the Nascent Soul, and Ling Yuyan's previous life was at this level of cultivation.
At that time, she still had another name, Ye Yunyan.
But even after reaching such a level, Ye Yunyan is still not one of the mainstays in the Xingyu Sect.
However, to be able to cultivate to the realm of Yuanying within a hundred years, she is also a genius.
The most important thing among them is that Ye Yunyan has one of the natural immortal bodies, the beast spirit body, which is a great innate opportunity.
Many cultivators have been trying hard for a lifetime to achieve a natural immortal body, but some people have it when they are born.
Although the beast spirit body control is not the strongest among all immortal bodies, it is definitely the most practical.
First, as a person with an immortal body grows up, he cultivates the soul of the beast spirit internally and refines the body of the beast spirit externally, and his practice can reach thousands of miles with each passing day.
Even in a certain sense, those who possess this immortal body may look like humans on the outside, but on the inside they are comparable to the ferocious beasts of heaven and earth. They are kings above ordinary spiritual beasts!
Secondly, since she is the king of spiritual beasts, she can naturally summon spiritual beasts and make countless spiritual beasts surrender to her.
This second point is really of great use. Even a powerful sect like Xingyu Sect attaches great importance to Ye Yunyan.
But Ye Yunyan never imagined that the sect that had trained her for hundreds of years and valued her very much would one day do something that would chill and break her heart.
After Ye Yunyan entered the realm of Nascent Soul, Xingyu Sect appointed her as the forest guard to guard the spiritual beasts within a thousand miles of the eastern part of Xingyue Forest.
Ye Yunyan happily accepted this appointment. After all, the immortal body of the beast spirit master naturally likes to coexist with spirit beasts. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the same kind.
With her Nascent Soul cultivation, supplemented by the spirit beast body control, she can summon spirit beasts within a thousand miles radius.
Gradually, she regarded all the spiritual beasts thousands of miles away as her own, loving and protecting them in every possible way.
However, one day, Xingyu Sect suddenly ordered Ye Yunyan to summon all the spiritual beasts to attack another sect.
And the power of the other sect is no weaker than that of Xingyu Sect.
If Ye Yunyan really summons the spiritual beasts, then these thousands of spiritual beasts will undoubtedly become the cannon fodder for the war between the two sects.
How could Ye Yunyan, who already regarded all spiritual beasts as her own, agree to such a condition?
However, the elders of Xingyu Sect came forward and said that this matter was not her fault.
If she doesn't agree, she will be stripped of her immortal body and then use it to control thousands of spiritual beasts to fight.
Ye Yunyan begged hard, but in exchange she was still tied up in the formation, and the elders of the Xingyu Sect personally presided over the formation in an attempt to deprive her of her immortal body.
At that moment, Ye Yunyan realized that Xing Yuzong had no feelings for her at all.
From the beginning to the end, he was just taking advantage of his immortal body.
Once he disobeys even a little bit, Xingyu Sect can deprive himself of his immortal body regardless of his centuries-old feelings.
The reason why you didn't deprive yourself of your immortal body at the beginning is because depriving yourself of your immortal body is not absolutely successful, it only has a half chance.
And even if it succeeds, if it is transferred to other people, the power will be greatly reduced, and it will never be able to make any progress.
And people who are deprived of their immortal body will even die because of it, so if Ye Yunyan is obedient, it will be in the greatest interest of Xingyu Sect.
However, Ye Yunyan refused to obey, so Xingyu Sect would rather take certain risks, lose some profits, and give up a life, or take it away by force.
After all, to Xingyu Sect, no matter how strong a disobedient "beast" is, it is useless.
On the contrary, the "beast slaves" who have lost some of their "wildness" and are completely obedient are more pleasing to them and easier to control.
When Ye Yunyan was heartbroken, thousands of spiritual beasts felt her grief and spontaneously gathered together to break into Xingyu Sect.
As a result, a battle between Xingyu Sect and thousands of spiritual beasts unexpectedly started.
In the end, both sides ended up with heavy injuries.
Fortunately, the efforts of the spirit beasts were not in vain. A black gold dragon with a perfect cultivation level comparable to the Nascent Soul saved Ye Yunyan.
However, after the black gold dragon took Ye Yunyan deep into the Xingyue Forest, she died from broken bones and muscles.
Before dying, the black gold dragon gave birth to a dragon egg, and what hatched was Xiao Hei.
Ye Yunyan took Xiao Hei and the surviving spirit beasts with her, and began to avoid the Xingyu Sect's pursuit.
Decades of wandering have passed like this. Although Ye Yunyan has broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage and can be respected as a powerful person by outsiders, she is still besieged by the elders of Xingyu Sect.
The eight elders are all in the late Nascent Soul stage, and there is one chief elder who is in the Nascent Soul stage.
Back then, it was this chief elder who gave the black gold dragon a fatal blow.
In the battle decades ago, all the strongest spirit beasts were wiped out. Now, relying only on Ye Yunyan, a late-stage Nascent Soul warrior, it is impossible to survive.
At this time, the chief elder gave Ye Yunyan one last chance and no longer forced her to control the spiritual beasts to attack other sects.
Instead, they have to make an agreement, allowing Ye Yunyan to control her body with animal spirits, constantly summoning spirit beasts, and then assist Xingyu Sect to imprison those spirit beasts and train them into beast slaves.
There was no way, Xingyu Sect also paid a heavy price in that war decades ago.
Seeing that Ye Yunyan has grown to the late Nascent Soul stage, they also want to take advantage of this uncompromising beast spirit body control again.
However, their delusions were shattered once again.
Ye Yunyan's spirit beast body control allows the spirit beasts to feel her emotions, and she can naturally understand their joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
And what Xingyu Sect asked her to do was simply more excessive than it was a few decades ago. She would rather die than tolerate it.
Not to mention helping Xingyu Sect to turn those spiritual beasts into beast slaves driven by humans.
Ye Yunyan's decades of wandering around were not without gains. She obtained a broken teleportation weapon.
The magical weapon was extremely mysterious, and because it was broken, I kept it and did not dare to use it.
But at the moment of life and death, Ye Yunyan couldn't care so much anymore and directly used the teleportation weapon to send all the spiritual beasts away.
As for herself, in order to buy time for the spirit beasts to leave, she stayed alone to fight against eight late-stage Nascent Souls, plus one Yuanying Perfection.
In this disparate battle, Ye Yunyan was destined not to survive.
So at the last moment of her life, she chose to sacrifice her immortal body in exchange for a chance to be reincarnated...
