(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert) Xu Lu stepped out of the tent and squinted slightly as the harsh desert sunlight fell down on her body. In the distance she could see the tribespeople staring at her with fearful expressions on their faces. The young children's mouths were covered by their parents and the older ones looked at her with terror in their eyes. Xu Lu let out a heavy sigh and turned away. There was no point in lingering here any longer and frightening these poor…-

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert) "We can speak in your tent," Xu Lu suggested kindly. She was not stupid and could read the obvious change in the atmosphere after her announcement that she was a cultivator. These tribespeople were terrified of her. Maybe they thought that demon cultivators represented all cultivators or perhaps there were those on the 'righteous' side who were no better. Xu Lu's brows furrowed slightly beneath her mask as she felt an uncomfortable sickly…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Capitol City Outskirts- The Forbidden Desert) Xu Lu squinted as blazing hot rays of sunlight fell down on her body. The air was hot and dry which made it difficult to breath. The ground beneath her feet had changed from grasslands to shifting sand particles that made her sink slightly with every step. Enormous mountainous sand dunes rose up in the air and cascaded towards the horizon like an endless sea of dust. The Forbidden Desert was aptly named. Apart from…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Capital City- Unnamed Brothel) "The Immortal Hunters?" Xu Lu asked in a puzzled tone as she stared at the elderly woman sitting down across from her. The brothel madam reached for a wrapped-up bundle of tobacco leaves and slowly lit the bottom of the bundle using a match. She placed the leaves in her mouth and inhaled slowly. A heavy fog of foul-smelling smoke left her mouth as she exhaled. "It is just a rumor…" the brothel madam continued to speak. "Whispers…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Capital City) A year was considered a blink of an eye to immortal cultivators. Xu Lu looked around the bustling marketplace and tried her best not to bump into the many civilians that were moving around while buying and selling wares. The saintess glanced at the thin sheet of paper in her hand. The paper contained a map that had been hastily sketched. The final destination of the map was a building. Whoever had made the map was not a good artist but still tried…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (First Peak- Hall Of The Founder) The Hall Of The Founder was a massive building that contained a single hall. The exterior of the building was made from a pure white marble-like material that gleamed under the sunlight. This was the place where the sect leader of the Holy Sword Sect resided. It was a place where even true disciples were normally forbidden to enter. Only high-ranking senior members of the sect, certain elders and those who had won the sect leader's…

(Mount Xilean- Fifth Peak) "Disgusting freak," Lei Ying spat out as she tossed Xu Lu to the ground. The saintess landed on the floor with a heavy thump. She gasped for breath as her injured ribs felt as though they were going to crack. Lei Ying kicked the mask on the ground in her direction. "Put it on," Lei Ying hissed darkly. "Put it on right now so that I do not have to look at you." Xu Lu's body moved automatically as her fingers grabbed the edge of the mask before hurriedly placing it back on her…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Fifth Peak) Xu Lu stepped off her floating sword and reluctantly landed on the grassy plain on top of the mountain where her master lived. She looked around and saw that everything was exactly as she remembered. "Master?" Xu Lu called out as she waited patiently for a response. There was no reply to her words and the mountain seemed even more desolate than before. Well… hopefully her master would not be returning anytime soon. Xu Lu slowly exhaled and felt a bit of…

"What's your name?" Xu Lu asked gently as approached the girl who continued to press her forehead against the ground. "My... name... is Tang Shu... saintess please... please save my friend..." the girl pleaded desperately. Xu Lu commended her courage. Even if the girl in the original Xu Lu's memories was not the one in danger... she still planned to go rescue her. "Lead the way," Xu Lu calmly spoke as she knelt down and pulled up the girl from the ground. The round-faced girl gave her a grateful smile…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Punishment Hall) Xu Lu slowly stepped outside the building and took a moment to relax under the warm sunlight that illuminated her surroundings. She could feel her body throbbing with energy. The unicorn inside her dantian had gotten even bigger and now its horn glowed with a faint white light. "Thank you elder for watching over me," Xu Lu politely spoke to the elderly man standing in front of the punishment hall. She bowed her head at him respectfully then walked…
