Cold Flame Shines on Eternal Life

[Yuri, Xuanhuan]

“Ever since Heavenly Phoenix Island burned down, no one has seen a single phoenix. This egg...”

The daughter of the ancient city’s lord was driven out after her mother seized control of the city. Alone, she wandered the martial world, found an opportunity, and went to the Sword Sect to train. After more than two hundred years, her swordsmanship reached perfection, making her the greatest practitioner of magic in the world. Her beauty also earned her the title of the world’s most beautiful woman. She should have inherited the position of sect leader, but in the end, her two hundred years of hard work could not compete with connections. At the grand ceremony for the new sect leader’s succession, many people objected. She said nothing, though, and simply left in silence. From then on, she kept a low profile outside for hundreds of years. The Sword Sect also lost the people’s trust, and many disciples left. Over the course of a century, she founded a sect called Ling Sheng. Everyone in it was a master. They rarely took action, and there was also a place called the Heavenly Pillar Pavilion, where assassinations were arranged in secret. Both places were hidden behind a barrier in a cave. More than two hundred years had passed. She had long since grown cold-blooded and mature. One day, while out and about, she found a phoenix egg in a wolf’s den. She took it home and raised it, and two hundred years later, it successfully took human form. It was supposedly a phoenix, but looked just like a little dumpling. The aloof and elegant sect leader instantly became a doting mother. Her subordinates couldn’t help but grumble, “She spoils that little dumpling rotten. She won’t even let it do any hard work.”
