(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Punishment Hall) Xu Lu furrowed her brows as she looked around the inside of the large building. Cells were stacked tightly together and she could see strange symbols and letterings carved onto the floor of each cell. She looked through the original Xu Lu's memories for anything useful but could not find any information related to the punishment hall. The original Xu Lu had never stepped inside this place. Still… there was no use delaying the inevitable. She was…-

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) Xu Lu could understand why the ordinary civilians of the continent saw cultivators as gods. As she stood on the deck of the floating golden boat, she could see the headquarters of the Holy Sword Sect slowly come into view. Massive mountain peaks rose up towards the heavens and were surrounded by fluffy white clouds. Gigantic cranes, small dragons and other fantastic creatures soared through the air with cultivators on their backs. The mountains were all covered with…

(Western Region- Xercon Plains) (Unnamed Village) It was a scene from hell. The heavy metallic scent of blood filled the air as well as the sounds of injured cries and moans of pain. These cries eventually ceased. Wooden shacks and stone huts alike had all been destroyed. Bits and pieces of rubble lay scattered on the ground. Corpses of men, women and children stared blankly at the sky. Their bodies had been twisted and warped beyond recognition. Some had been chopped up into pieces while others had…

(Northern Region- Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle) (City Lord's Estate- Private Meeting Room) Xu Lu walked through a long winding corridor with her three companions following closely behind. There was a tense atmosphere among the cultivators. The saintess had met them at the meeting point with Shen Guo nowhere to be found. When Lin Kun asked about their missing companion, the saintess simply said that it would be dangerous to talk about the matter outside. She would explain in a safer location where…

(Northern Region- The Gobrean Jungle) (Secret Underground Space) Xu Lu cautiously stretched out her hands and tried to sense if there was anything different or changed about her body. She lifted up the mask that covered her face and gently touched the flesh that lay beneath the metallic surface. No… she could still feel rough patches of skin and horrific scar tissue. Xu Lu placed the mask back on her face and let out a small sigh. Fuse? But she felt no different. Maybe fusion only worked for…

"Oh my… I know I'm cute but… please… don't stare at me…" the sweet melodic voice echoed through the cave. The giant egg shifted slowly from side to side as if it was wriggling around in embarrassment. Now Xu Lu had seen a lot of strange sights in her many lifetimes. She had experienced the afterlife, she had seen vampires and now she had lived among immortal cultivators but this… This was truly bizarre. "Sorry… I um… I…" Xu Lu stuttered as she truly had no idea what to say. How was…

"Eeny... meeny... miny..." "MOE!" Xu Lu stopped chanting and looking in the direction where her finger was pointing. Her index finger landed on the middle corridor. The one with the ominous fang. The saintess looked at her finger. Then she looked at the corridor. "MOE!" Xu Lu yelled again and this time she shifted her finger so that she was now pointing at the entranceway with the white horn painted above it. No one needed to know the truth. Xu Lu unsheathed her blade and then walked through the…

Xu Lu slowly exhaled and counted to ten in her mind. When she stopped her breathing exercise, the strange feeling was gone. The saintess cautiously looked around but could not detect any other lifeforms or threats. The plain was eerily quiet. No traces of animals and not even a single blade of grass grew on this black soil. Xu Lu walked forward with her feet sinking into the soil ever so slightly. This area was nicknamed 'The Dead Man Zone' for obvious reasons. Adventurers and mercenaries usually came…

(Northern Region- Gobrean Jungle) "Fuck… I made a mistake," Xu Lu muttered as she backed away from the cloud of purple gas that was spreading throughout the forest. She held her breath and tried not to inhale just in case the gas was poisonous. She had just wanted to scare Shen Guo at first which is why her initial strike only scraped his neck. But then when he dropped the vial… her instincts took over. Years of training as Camilla's bodyguard meant that if there was a threat to her safety… she…

(Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle- White Lotus City) (Border Wall) The sun was shining brightly in the sky and warm rays of light illuminated the rich forest that was teeming with life. A faint white mist hung around the treetops since the air was hot and humid. Xu Lu glanced at the map in her hand with five locations that were circled using a bright red ink. Based on the information that she had gotten last night… these were the locations that were most likely to be the entrance to the mysterious…
