Playing cards, I am your ancestor! Novel – 001 Cultivation Expert, Bound by the Masochistic Card Drawing System_1 “Wen Jiang, Wen Jiang, wake up.” Wen Jiang opened her eyes, a dark gleam passing through her pure black pupils. The nurse who woke her didn’t notice, only saying, “It’s time to change your medicine. It’ll hurt a bit.
Just bear with it, okay?” As the nurse applied the medicine to her face, a sharp pain almost made Wen Jiang pass out. She also heard the nurse’s sympathetic voice, “Such a pretty face. What a pity…” Wen Jiang hissed, feeling somewhat bewildered. She was not the original Wen Jiang. She had once been the most talented individual in the 21st-century Yunxia Country’s Cultivator World, but unfortunately, she failed her Tribulation at the brink of ascension.
She was struck by Tribulation lightning that annihilated her soul. Logically, she should not have survived. But in a daze, she felt her Remnant Soul drifting in space for a long time. After an indeterminate period, she opened her eyes and awoke inside a girl’s body. A girl with the same name as her, a freshman at Yunxia Empire’s university. A week prior, she had been bullied on campus, beaten up, and hospitalized with a knife wound to her face.
The original owner of the body was already frail and couldn’t hold on. This allowed Wen Jiang’s Remnant Soul to inhabit it. The pain was real. However, the path of cultivation was inherently one of defying fate. She had endured far greater suffering than this. Gritting her teeth, Wen Jiang didn’t utter a sound. Even the nurse was somewhat shocked. She remembered that when this girl was admitted to the hospital yesterday, she was covered in wounds, and her condition had been critical.
They even thought this child wouldn’t make it. The nurse said with pity, “Those people, they’re just too cruel…” Stopping midway, she glanced at Wen Jiang’s face, not daring to continue. Those were the children of nobles, people she truly couldn’t afford to provoke. Wen Jiang understood her implication. The original owner’s soul had likely moved on to reincarnate. Since she was now alive in this body, it was hers to control. As repayment, she planned to smash that bullying bastard’s skull.
After the nurse finished applying the medicine, Wen Jiang rested in bed. Searching through the original owner’s memories, Wen Jiang frowned. This isn’t my original world. It was also the 21st century. In her original world, Spiritual Energy had resurfaced, cultivators had reappeared, and she had become one of these new-era cultivators. In this world, there were also records of the revival of Spiritual Energy, but it had taken a completely different path.
The revival of Spiritual Energy also brought forth numerous Demons. To combat them, humanity stumbled upon a method: using cards to summon the spirits of Divine Beasts. Unfortunately, the battles were brutal, and countless countries vanished during the era of spiritual revival. A thousand years later, the wars subsided. Yunxia Country had paid a heavy price, even experiencing a collapse of civilization and losing its once-prized cultural heritage.
The world order was reshuffled, giving rise to three great empires: Yunxia Empire, leading the Eastern Continent; Sanctuary Empire, leading the West; and Frost Moon Empire, leading the North.
