"People can be horrible and cruel," Xu Lu whispered softly under her breath. She opened her mouth and slowly inhaled before letting out the stored air from her lungs. The voice in her mind got a bit softer and then disappeared. The saintess focused on her breathing and did not move from the spot. There was no easy fix for her current problem. Possessing the original Xu Lu's body meant that she also inherited her lack of self-esteem and her hatred and fear about her appearance. The saintess…-

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Fifth Peak) Months had slowly passed. Xu Lu stood silently in the middle of a clearing and unsheathed her blade. Leaves fell down from the treetops as she waited for the right moment to strike. Slash! A burst of sword qi erupted from the tip of her blade and all the nearby leaves were neatly bisected in half. The strike was faster than the normal human eye could follow. One moment the leaves were unharmed and the next they were sliced to pieces. Xu Lu let out a…

(Holy Sword Sect- Mount Xilean) (Fifth Peak- Private Residence) There was no place like home. Well... not really... because this home was 'poorly designed'... and that was putting it politely. Xu Lu sighed heavily as she approached the run-down wooden shack where she lived. She walked through the entranceway that was partially blocked by a door loosely swinging from the hinges that were not properly attached. There were only three pieces of furniture in the entire building. A small wardrobe to store…

(Mount Xilean- Public Library) (Third Floor) Xu Lu walked up the stairs that led to the upper floors of the library and ignored the stares that were directed at her. She had separated from Bai Lu and Tang Shu a few hours ago and now she had some free time to explore around the sect before she had to return to the fifth peak. She had to admit that it had been fun to hang out with the two young outer disciples. Their cheerful attitudes helped remind Xu Lu that not all cultivators were monsters. There…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) Xu Lu sighed under her breath as she soared through the air towards the fifth peak. Lei Ying had probably convinced all of the potential sect members that they were a close pair of master and disciple. The relationship between them could even be considered as parent and child. At least publicly... as for the reality of the situation well... Xu Lu planned to make sure that her master suffered the same way that she had because as she thought about what had happened to the…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Lower Mountain Range- Central Square) Huang Wei looked in amazement as the saintess finished her speech. He felt nervous just being here surrounded by thousands of other cultivators who all shared the same dream. Every single one of them wanted to join the Holy Sword Sect. The disciples belonging to this sect were not just powerful but also had a reputation for being paragons of justice and virtue. And the saintess was everything that he had imagined her to be. A…

These men and women were the newest batch of hopeful cultivators trying to enter one of the greatest cultivation sects on the continent. The Holy Sword Sect. This was a day that could change the course of their lives forever. The sheer number of weapons, techniques, pills, and other resources that the…

A magnificent wooden ship soared through the air as if it were somehow floating on the clouds that brushed against its massive frame. Intricate blue runes were carved onto the exterior of the vessel that throbbed and hummed with power. The ship was pulled by an entire group of winged lion-like creatures with impressive golden manes and muscular bodies. The creatures would occasionally open their mouth to roar loudly, and one would be able to see rows upon rows of razor-sharp teeth. This airborne vessel…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Huren Province- Tianjin City) "Hey brother…" Zhang Jie brushed off her robes and turned to her brother as if they had not been fighting on the ground in the middle of a crowded city just moments ago. "Can you see where the saintess is? I swear that she was standing over there but now…. has she left us?" "Um…" Zhang Ning paused for a moment, and he quickly looked around to see if he could find the masked woman wearing white robes. "Hmm… sister… I believe…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Huren Province- Tianjin City) They have been expecting me? That was rarely a good sign… Xu Lu carefully observed the man and woman in front of her. Both wore black starry cloaks with small pieces of diamonds interwoven into the edges of the fabric. The diamonds on their robes shone and sparkled to mimic the appearance of the night sky. She could not see any weapons on either person wait… no… Were those… playing cards? Yes… they were seemingly ordinary…
