The woman grinned and stretched her hand, revealing bandages around her hand, exposing the shredded skin of her body, and looked down at the unconscious Zhen’er.
“You can sleep well, Zhen’er. I will take good care of this body of yours.” With those words, Rhea’s body fell to the ground, her eyes turning white as if she had lost her life, causing the man to kneel beside her, lift her, and distance himself from Zhen’er’s body.
“These memories? It’s dark.” Suddenly, Zhen’er slowly opened her eyes, looking up toward the sky as she stretched her hand to observe her newly acquired body, revealing that it was not she, but Idolse Rhea, who had now taken over Zhen’er’s body.
“Lady Rhea, congratulations on getting the new body,” the man congratulated as he kept his head lowered, not looking up.
“Haah, how did he do it?” Rhea lay down, closed her eyes, with memories of both Zhen’er and her own now residing in this body, gazing upward as she searched inside her memories for the one who unsealed this body.
Nonetheless, because of Xiang Zhen’s blindness, her thoughts were solely occupied with sounds, lacking any visual memories.
“Pardon?” The man didn’t understand the meaning behind Rhea’s words causing him to inquire.
“Whatever, if fate wants then we will definitely meet,” Idolse stood and stretched her body, feeling a new vitality coursing through her new body, as she looked in the direction toward the pond with a smile forming as just with the gaze, slowly the fishes automatically started to float on the surface.
For years, she had been on a quest for the ideal body, hoping to flee from her deteriorating form. However, every potential vessel was either killed by Veronica Devereaux or sealed away by Angelica Devereaux, rendering them worthless.
Idolse Rhea’s enmity with the Devereaux sisters was from the time they were at the peak of flagbearer battle, and due to using forbidden techniques, she had destroyed her own body until the point it became irreversible.
Due to her strength, it was really hard for her to find a suitable body, and in doing so, she needed a body which could withstand the corruption of remnants of her forbidden techniques, and she finally found the one who could give her information.
Angelica Devereaux, the one who was the archenemy of her, suddenly chose to help her by offering the most suitable body Idolse Rhea could ever get to transfer her soul.
Angelica’s offer was for the chance to master the forbidden art of soul transmission.
Unlike simple soul talismans or some soul transfer techniques that only transferred the souls of two individuals, the forbidden technique of Soul Transmission allowed for a transfer at a level where the soul could impart its complete strength to another body. This is in contrast to other third-grade techniques, which depend on the body’s or host’s inherent abilities.
Another advantage was that no one could tell if the soul belonged to another individual just by looking at it.
Idolse Rhea, in her urgency to obtain a body and without any hope, agreed to teach Angelica this forbidden technique. However, she intentionally left a loophole in the technique, making it as someone possessing a spirit sword would be able to see through her.
As she expected, Angelica betrayed her and attempted to destroy the child whose body was perfect for Rhea. In the end, Idolse Rhea protected that child’s life at the cost of crippling herself.
However, Angelica had already sealed the child’s body with a technique that would slowly destroy its senses.
Angelica left after acquiring the soul transmission technique, leaving behind the sealed child and Rhea, who had somehow escaped.
Inside the Jade Dominion, she had left Zhen’er to search for a way to unseal that particular seal placed on her, but it was all futile, and Zhen’er lost her eyesight due to the effects of the seal.
But after so many years, suddenly Rhea felt the seal had been undone by someone, prompting her to arrive here.
“You can rest.” After a brief glance at her lifeless old body, Rhea watched as the ground swiftly engulfed and concealed it before seamlessly settling back into place.
Her technique was advanced and perfect due to three major advantages:
1. She could have both the body and her own memories remain intact while her consciousness will be dominant.
2. No one, even the Spirit Sword holders could see through her real soul or body and distinguish if she was not genuine.
3. She got all her strength transferred to the new body and even got the powers of the present body too.
This technique was in itself perfect but was forbidden by someone according to a rune she had created this technique from, though there were several things erased but still she was able to invent this.
The name of the creator of this technique was mentioned as Ruken, who appeared like some fallen god to her but who cares.
Now, She possessed a body which could fully exert her complete strength and now only thing left was to deal with Angelica Devereaux who dared to betray her.
“Let’s leave” With those words, Rhea’s body turned into dark smoke before disappeared from that place with a man following behind her but man’s smoke moved towards the dense tree where it felt the presence of someone.

‘N-no! I need to tell this to Young Master!’, Ten Hai who was given the task to protect Zhen’er by the black-robed man, ran through the forest as his eyes trembled seeing a strange woman killing Zhen’er and taking over her body.
Ten Hai had been lusting over Zhen’er for several months and due to being the son of the mayor here, he always remained unscathed but last night after the order that strange amber-eyed man gave him, he came here to keep an eye on Zhen’er from distance.
But he knew, he had seen something which would kill him,”Fuck! I just wanted to plow, not become a scarecrow!
Swish
He cried before a gust of breeze, filled with smoke covered his head causing him to directly fall on the ground as he clenched his neck to have some breath but all appeared futile as the supply of aura was cut off.
Due to his cultivation strength, he might have survived but the smoke was filled with some kind of poison, instantly causing his internal energy to exhaust and finally killing Ten Hai.

Inside the middle town’s gate number 34, existing in the northern prefecture, three horses accompanied by five men and a woman seemed to make their way towards the main gate where several soldiers were checking the arriving individuals’ identity.
“Young Master, we have arrived at one of the gates of Middle town.” Bone Breaker turned his attention towards the black-robed man accompanying him while wearing a black masquerade mask covering his amber eyes.
“I can see th—” Before Ryuk could complete his words, a notification instantly popped up.
DING!
╔─━━━━━━━━━░★░━━━━━━━━━─╗
One of the targets of the Enslavement Grimoire lost his life.
Target name: Ten Hai
╚─━━━━━━━━━░★░━━━━━━━━━─╝
‘?!’
“Esme, don’t panic”, As soon as Ryuk caught sight of the notification, he immediately scooped up Esme in a princess carry and vanished from the scene, leaving behind fading orange remnants of their aura.
“Huh? Y-Young Master?” All four individuals could see their surroundings but could not comprehend that they had been abandoned on the outskirts of Middle Town.
Naturally, the plan according to the Young Master was for all four of them to act as his servants while he used a plaque from the Wei family to enter Middle Town. But now…
“B-boss? Soldiers are coming this way!” Upon seeing the soldiers finally approaching, Number 1 cried out. Bone Breaker felt a wave of sweat break out on his forehead. He turned to his companions and uttered in a defeated tone, “Raise your hands, it looks like we’re going to have to surrender.”
Here is a few things that may not be possible for several readers to link since I, being a careless idiot don’t update regularly, causing many readers to forget a lot. So, here is the explanation of this chapter and links….
–> So, Ruken is name of Ryuk’s Father.
In Chapter 59, I explained why Amayara betrayed Ryuk, showing how Angelica (sister of Alisia) had taken over Alisia’s body to carry out her evil plans. In this chapter, we learn that the one who taught this technique of body possession was none other than Idolse Rhea.
We also understand why Amayara was able to see through Angelica’s disguise: Idolse had intentionally left a loophole.
As for why Angelica wanted to possess Alisia’s body, we will reveal her true intentions in future chapters.
I hope you understand the remaining things from this chapter.
