The story begins with him heading to the newly conquered demon territory of the Qingchi Mountain lineage, the 'Yellow Sand Plain,' to guard and develop it… This isn't a mindless, face-slapping story; the supporting characters are intelligent (the protagonist is even used as a pawn by them in the early stages). There's no saintly figure (mortals are merely tools in the protagonist's eyes). There's no harem (no matter how beautiful someone is, they have no value; in the protagonist's eyes, they're just withered bones in a grave). Immortal cultivation levels: Qi Refining Cultivator!

Content: As Li Siyue revealed herself, countless vengeful spirits shrouded in thick black energy surged forth from the ground like a tidal wave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying. Some gripped Li Siyue's ankles and bit them, while others opened their fanged maws and lunged at her body. Terrifying screams echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Li Siyue's eyes sharpened, and she instantly activated the Cold Moon Technique. In an instant, the cold moonlight surged from her body. The ghosts that had lunged at her before they could even touch her clothes were instantly frozen by the extreme cold contained within the moonlight, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures suspended in the air. Li Siyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and a visible ripple of moonlight spread out from her. The ghosts that had entangled her ankles didn't even have time to scream before shattering like glass within the ripples, dissipating into countless ice crystals. She leaped into the air, her spiritual power intertwining with the power of the cold moonlight, condensing into thousands of moon-colored flying swords around her. The swords spun wildly around her, emitting sharp whistling sounds. As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the stone walls. Li Siyue lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed towards the thousands of ice-sculpted ghosts suspended in mid-air. "Go!" A thousand flying swords shot out simultaneously, like a reversed silver meteor shower, each sword precisely piercing through an ice sculpture. The vengeful spirits of the ghosts were as fragile as paper before the moonlight flying swords. The moment they were pierced, the ice layer, along with the ghosts within, shattered into countless ice shards. The black energy was purified by the moonlight, emitting a hissing sound. Thousands of ghost soldiers were completely annihilated in a single breath. Then, even denser black energy surged forth from the cracks in the walls, from the corpses of cultivators, from the stone walls, and from the torches. Countless vengeful spirits surged out from all directions like a tidal wave, densely packed, filling the entire cave.
