Chapter 213: The Past Life

Upon seeing the female ghost, Wei Huo believed that the appearance of the fifth level was initiated by the heart. Perhaps subconsciously, female ghosts were either wearing a red dress and had their hair down or were like palace maids dressed in a qipao who appeared in hauntings in the Forbidden City.

Wei Huo understood that the fifth level of Qi Cultivation came from the heart!

He knew that human consciousness was divided into two types. If the fifth level was related to the heart, it would not only be influenced by the consciousness but also by the subconscious.

Psychologists often used the tip of the iceberg to describe the relationship between awareness and the subconscious. They described the subconsciously-hidden part of the iceberg as the tip of the iceberg.

If a person’s past life had been hidden in the depths of one’s consciousness, it must have been hidden in one’s subconscious. However, he had appeared on the fifth level today. Everything had emerged from his heart and become a reality.

He could use this opportunity to solve many puzzles.

However, at that moment, Wei Huo saw some changes in the red-dressed female ghost’s appearance. Her body kept gradually shrinking but became more solid. She used to be a spirit body and look translucent, but she looked much realer now.

Wei Huo asked her, “Who are you?”

The woman in front of Wei Huo lifted her head. The hair covering her face spread to the side, revealing an exquisite, beautiful face. Her eyes were as dark as night, making one feel as if they were being sucked in by them.

Wei Huo’s heart tightened for some reason when he saw that face and those eyes. It was as if he had been reading a book or playing a computer game quietly when a weird sound came from his house, making his heart skip a beat.

Wei Huo did not know why he had such a reaction, but he had no impression of this person.

He frowned. “Don’t tell me you’re my wife from a previous life and you’ve been looking for me.”

The woman said, “No, I was your enemy in a previous life.”

The golden armor saw the pretty lady and was about to hit on her. However, when it heard that, it stopped in its tracks and retreated silently to Wei Huo’s side.

“Everything we saw on the fifth level was not real. Those were just your memories. This person is the same. However, you might be able to understand your past life through this,” the golden armor said.

The woman added, “In your previous life, you were an emperor. I was the one who assassinated you. I stabbed your heart with a dagger.”

Upon hearing that, Wei Huo finally understood what had happened. It was no wonder his heart had tightened when he had seen that face.

Wei Huo had come across such a saying on the Internet before. Some netizens said that one’s heart would tense up and pound when one saw someone. One would think that they had fallen in love at first sight, but one had actually seen the enemy who had killed them in their previous life.

Although their memories had disappeared, the fear in their subconscious had not disappeared.

The golden armor thought about it for a long time before saying, “Motherf*cker, were you in the coffin just now?”

As it spoke, it hid the jade pendant that it had just obtained.

Wei Huo glanced at it and could not be bothered to look down on it. He said, “If everything on the fifth level is fake, you might not be able to bring those things out.”

The golden armor was not convinced. “That might not be the case.”

Wei Huo could not be bothered. He left the throne and approached the woman. He observed her face carefully before he asked, “Why are you here today?”

The woman said, “You can kill me and take revenge for your death.”

Wei Huo shook his head. “You’re just a fake memory.”

The woman suddenly said, “What is false and what is real?”

Wei Huo was stunned. He suddenly realized that this was the fifth level of Kunlun Mountain. If the first four levels described refining Qi into God, would the fifth level also describe refining Qi into God?

What was fake? What was real?

Wei Huo fell into deep thought. This was definitely the key to refining Qi into God. If he did not understand this key point, he would not be able to refine Qi into God.

As Wei Huo was deep in thought, the woman in front of him took out a dagger and stabbed Wei Huo’s heart. However, Wei Huo had been prepared for her. The Cold Light Sword flashed and blocked the dagger.

Wei Huo felt the force of the dagger and exclaimed, “Legendary?”

The woman in front of Wei Huo was a Legendary creature. She also had a Nirvana Domain!

The golden armor reminded him loudly, “Brother Huo, this is your obsession from your previous life. Only by killing the person in front of you will your obsession be eliminated. I think you can leave this level by killing her!”

The Cold Light Sword in Wei Huo’s hand flashed past, but the woman’s dagger stabbed at Wei Huo’s chest from a trickier angle. Wei Huo frowned and slapped her. However, the woman was very agile. She moved her feet and moved four to five meters away.

The golden armor continued explaining. “This is your subconscious projection. It will only be stronger than you. It will not be weaker than you. This is a rare opportunity. The assassination in your previous life left a mark in your subconscious. You can use this mark to comprehend the assassination technique!”

Wei Huo observed the woman’s steps carefully. He had to admit that her steps were very magical. It seemed like she could shrink the ground into an inch. Besides, the woman did not give off an aura. She only had the power of her domain when she attacked. It was impossible to guard oneself against her!

The woman continued attacking. Wei Huo could not dodge in time, so his arm was pierced. Although his Cold Light Sword also slashed out, the woman dodged it.

The golden armor’s heart was itching when it saw this footwork. It also wanted to learn how to move a few meters in an instant. How powerful was this footwork? However, the golden armor looked at its empty lower body and said in tears, “I hate myself for not having two legs!”

Wei Huo had been battling giant monsters for hundreds of years. He had never fought against humans of the same level. He had really met his match this time.

The woman in front of him was almost another Wei Huo. Her physique and domain were exactly the same as his. However, she was using assassination skills and killer steps!

This was a technique created for killing. It was not very useful against non-human creatures, but it was very lethal against humans.

The woman charged over with her dagger again. However, this time, Wei Huo moved his feet three to four steps away. He then waved his hand and cut off a few strands of the woman’s hair.

The woman’s consecutive assassination attempts finally allowed Wei Huo to understand her footwork. However, at that moment, the woman disappeared without a trace. It was as if she had turned invisible and all her aura had disappeared.

“Concealment Skill!”

Wei Huo frowned. He had always felt that something was missing. However, he understood the moment the woman disappeared. That was the strongest skill of an assassin. How could one pull off a secret assassination if one did not allow oneself to disappear?

At that moment, the woman appeared behind Wei Huo and plunged the dagger in his back where his heart was.

The first thing that came to Wei Huo’s mind was an advertising slogan. “Sprite, Chill Your Heart!”

When the dagger pierced his heart, his heart turned cold. It felt really cold.

Fortunately, Wei Huo was already a Legendary creature. His pierced heart could not kill him!

Wei Huo turned around and grabbed the woman’s slender wrist with his left hand. He then thrust the sword in his right hand toward the woman’s head.

The woman did not resist at all. She looked at the sword tip that was moving forward, and a relieved expression appeared on her face. It seemed like she wanted to be killed by Wei Huo just like that.

Wei Huo was confused. Was this an expression an assassin should have?
