Chapter 1 The Remnant Soul Recognizing Reality
[This is a lighthearted read, please don't take it too seriously. The entire story revolves around the mindset of cultivation. It's just something to keep in mind.]
Who am I? Where am I? What kind of place is this? Uh!
The remnant soul suddenly regained consciousness and asked, "?"
The voice echoed in the mind of a mother in her thirties; lying in bed, her head spinning, a voice kept asking. A scream shattered the morning's tranquility!
"Mommy, I want to drink milk."
"Mom, I need to go to the toilet."
A two-and-a-half-year-old boy was lying next to his mother, sitting beside her and shaking her arm.
At this moment, the new mother is experiencing pain that most people cannot bear. She turns her head and reaches for her phone next to the pillow.
The dizziness is persistent, and the new mother can't get out of bed! She feels dizzy when she tilts her head to the left or to the right; she can only see normally when her head is centered and still.
The voice in my head rang again;
Remnant Soul: "Hahaha! I'm awake, I've awakened! Why are all the ties deep within my soul gone?"
Why are none of the sect's soul lamps lit? Where are the senior brothers? Junior brothers? Senior sisters?
What's wrong here? Where am I? No one could answer.
The little boy asked, "Mommy, I need to go to the toilet."
Mom: "Baby, Mommy has a headache. Can you get up and go to the bathroom by yourself?"
The little boy sensed that his mother was in pain, so he slowly got up and crawled under her body from inside the bed.
I went to the bedside, lay down, and slowly lowered my feet to the ground, then slowly reached for the door; the first time I tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge.
The little boy said in his childish voice, "Mommy, I can't open the door. Can you help me, Mommy?"
The new mother felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but she held back her nausea and said, "Baby, you can do it! You're the best, little one! You can do it!" She was torn between her own feelings and her own, feeling nauseous and weak all over.
The little boy stood on tiptoe, grabbed the handle, and pressed down hard to pull the door inward, but the door still wouldn't open.
Xiao Bao said, "Mommy, I need to pee, but I can't open the door!"
The mother said, "Baby, hold the doorknob with both hands and press down hard, pull back with all your might, keep going, baby!"
Following his mother's instructions, Xiao Bao used all his strength to pull it open a little, and tried to pull it open again. After five attempts, he finally managed to pull it open.
Little Bao kept saying, "Hurry! Hurry! I need to pee!"
He slammed the door shut behind him.
The little feet made a thumping sound on the wooden floor as they ran.
Then they heard the sound of peeing. Xiao Bao said, "Mommy, I peed! My pants are wet! Change them!"
Xiao Bao took off his pants, leaving his bare bottom exposed, and casually put his wet pants into the pink changing basket next to his urinal.
Then Tata's footsteps returned to the door, and she pushed hard, but the door wouldn't open.
The little boy said, "Mommy, why can't I open the door again? Mommy, help me, Mommy, Mommy!"
The mother said, "Baby, hold the doorknob with both hands and push down hard, push forward! Go, baby!"
Following his mother's instructions, Xiao Bao used all his strength to push it open a little, and tried again with all his might. After seven attempts, he finally managed to push it open.
Xiao Bao came to the bedside and said to his mother's head;
Xiao Bao: "Mommy, I took my pants off and put them in the basket! Mommy, can I get up? Are you feeling better? If Mommy feels unwell, call Daddy!"
Mom: "Could you help me out and give my phone to her?"
Xiao Bao: "Okay;"
Little Bao's little feet were still dangling on the edge of the bed. He pounced on the bed, lifted his other little foot, climbed onto the bed, and walked to his mother's head with his bare bottom exposed. He squatted down and took the phone from next to the pillow and gave it to his mother.
Xiao Bao: "Mommy, cell phone, let's call Daddy!"
The new mother was panting heavily, feeling uncomfortable. It was as if a force was pushing and conquering new territory in her mind; it was unbearable.
Suddenly, a surge of energy shot out from my shoulder blades, flowing throughout my body, activating all the acupoints. Each acupoint seemed to emit a faint yellow light, and then ripples circulated around them. My whole body suddenly felt hot, a surge of heat rising from my spine straight to my head. My head suddenly cleared up—that kind of clarity is indescribable. My mind was exceptionally clear for just a few seconds.
In those few seconds of Qingming Festival, the new mother immediately took out her phone and dialed her husband's number.
Gong Yong: "Hey, what's wrong with Lin Yue?"
Mom: "Honey, I'm dizzy, I can't get up, I feel nauseous, please come back quickly!"
Gong Yong: "I'll call 120 right away, hang in there."
Mom: "Don't hit me! Come back here for a second and check on the baby. I feel my blood pressure is very high, my heart is beating very fast, and I'm dizzy!"
Gong Yong: "Okay, I'll be right back! You wait! Or should we call 120?"
Mom: "No need, you come back first; going to the hospital will cost thousands, you should come back first!"
Gong Yong: "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, the new mother felt changes in her body; indescribable, unimaginable, unbelievable—her worldview shattered!
How could this be? How could this be?
Who is speaking to me inside my head? And with such a bizarre appearance, I actually saw a soul!
Born under the national flag, raised in the spring breeze! I find it a bit hard to accept. I don't have supernatural powers. Although I've stayed home to take care of the kids for a few years and haven't worked, I usually read novels on Tomato TV when I have free time—all sorts of things—but I always thought those novels were just things people imagined, just wish-fulfillment stories, just things written when the brain is in a frenzy. How could such things exist in the real world, let alone appear in my mind?
Good heavens!
Feeling lost? A little confused? What's going on? Is this possession? Have I been watching too many domestic fantasy novels, TV dramas, and anime lately?
With the recent economic downturn, my husband's salary is less than a third of what it used to be. I can't pay my credit card bill this month, and I'm getting endless collection calls. It's so annoying! Just one month without a payment, and I'm being bombarded with calls from banks. It's driving me crazy! I'm just a poor stay-at-home mom with three kids, and I only owe the bank 15,000 yuan. The banks are calling me like crazy! Tell me, what about those with huge debts? I think even the banks would be worried if they heard from them. These poor people are almost being chased down, it's not like they don't want to pay! Ugh!
The remnant soul said, "What's in your head? What's a bank? What's anime? What's a TV series? You don't have the third eye, so I'm living inside your head. I'm just checking what's in your head. I didn't try to possess you, and I don't even want this body of yours!"
Xiao Bao: "Mommy, I need to poop!"
The mother's head is throbbing, and now she's feeling dizzy! What should she do? The child needs to go to the toilet!
Mom: "Can my baby go by himself?"
Lin Yuebao's mother lay weakly on the bed, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, nauseous and unable to move.
My child said, "Mommy, I want to go to the toilet. Mommy, I want to poop."
Lin Yue, forcing herself to endure the discomfort, told her baby, "Baby, go down slowly and go to the toilet by yourself, okay?"
Little Bao carefully got out of bed, followed by the sound of thumping footsteps. A moment later, the sound of the baby sitting on the toilet could be heard.
"Mommy, I've finished pooping. Can you wipe my bottom for me? Mommy, I need to wipe my bottom. Mommy, Mommy."
Lin Yue was anxious, but she was too weak to get up, and she didn't know what to do.
The baby has already run to the bedside, but the mother can't move; she gives the baby a tissue, can the baby wipe himself?
The little one didn't know how to do it, so he just scribbled a couple of times on his bottom and then took the paper to the living room trash can to throw it away.
The little dog came running over, climbed onto the bed, crawled over its mother's body, and then crawled inside the bed to lie down next to its mother!
The sound of a door opening reached the master bedroom, and Gong Yong quickly walked in;
"What's wrong? Are you feeling better? Call 120," Gong Yong said anxiously.
Xiao Bao said urgently, "Daddy, Daddy, open my butt, Mommy feels uncomfortable!"
Lin Yue turned her head and the dizziness returned. She said, "No need to go to the hospital, no need to call 120. Please check my blood pressure and get the emergency pills from the living room." After she finished speaking, the remnant soul's mocking laughter came again, "Hahaha!"
Damn it! You and I are actually one, and you are actually a part of my soul! I remember that I only separated a wisp of my soul to save my sect; the rest of my soul disappeared into the world and should not exist. But because of the merit accumulated by this wisp of soul, it actually reunited with my existence! That remnant soul should not have had any self-awareness, so how come it has retained most of its memories!
Is this a revelation from heaven? This small world has very little spiritual energy; the five elements are incomplete! And there are even cultivators here, quite a few at that! Wait, there's a gap; this is a small world gradually awakening! Oh! Hahaha!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cute dividing line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Yue was also being battered by the wind, her body being ravaged! Deep within her soul, a ghost was howling and screaming. What was going on? She thought she might be about to have a stroke, but what happened? She was experiencing a reality that ordinary people could never accept.
Unable to find the emergency pills, Gong Yong brought the medicine box he kept at home to the bedside. He showed Lin Yue each pill one by one, explaining which one she needed, and then asked how much money was left in her social security account. At that moment, Lin Yue felt incredibly distressed. She usually took such good care of her husband that he didn't even know where the basic medicines were kept. She was worried about his panic when she was sick, his anxiety about not having enough money, his worry about who would take care of the children, and his worry about his work problems if he took leave. In short, she was destined to worry!
At this very moment, that wretched soul of a madman is chanting sutras like a tortoise; saying: Who would have thought that someone who will turn 40 in two years looks like a 50-year-old in terms of face and body? A host of health problems, didn't take proper care of herself after childbirth! She's in a state where she could have a stroke at any moment, chronically sleep-deprived; her body is so broken that she thinks I'm still giving this body—it's utterly ridiculous!
My awakening means that the protective shield I once formed with my soul has gradually faded away. Earth, or this place, was once protected by my soul cultivated with my entire body. My awakening as a remnant soul means that the protective barrier is gone, and I can't contact my sect or my clan at all. What happened? Hmm, I can't figure it out no matter how I try. Sigh! This world is so much smaller... no, it should be... I can't say... interesting! But the humans here have degenerated. If the revival is too fast, ordinary people can't withstand this spiritual tide. I'll check where my old things are, see how many still exist. This body is too weak.
