[Fantasy + open ending + master and disciple + hidden darkness]
Jiang Lu was an orphan living among ordinary mortals. No one knew she had already set foot on the path to immortality.
She lived by an eight-character motto: If you can beat them, win. If you can’t, run.
She kept a low profile, scavenging for treasures, refining pills, sipping tea, and enjoying the pleasures of mortal life. Only when her bottom line was crossed would she reveal her astonishing edge, suppress the whole field with a single sword strike, and bring ten thousand people to their knees.
During a trip into the barren mountains, she rescued Lu Mu, a frail, orphaned boy whose clan was on the verge of extinction, and took him as her disciple.
She was already at the Golden Core stage, while he was still in the mortal world. She quietly stole the show, and he followed silently. She protected him and gave him a life of peace; he revered her as the divine will of Heaven.
They wandered at ease and grew stronger along the way, journeying from the mortal world to the immortal path, from the lowest realms to the clouds above.
By the time she finally reached the summit, she had become a mighty Soul Transformation cultivator, able to command the winds and clouds with a wave of her hand.
She smiled gently and gazed toward the horizon:
“Soul Transformation is only the beginning.”
The road ahead is long, and cultivation has no limits. Master and disciple walk side by side, taking their time and growing stronger all the while.
