Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Jiang Luo transmigrated.

The good news: She had become the daughter of a wealthy family.

The bad news: She was a fake, and she was about to be shipped off to marry the dim-witted son of the city lord.

On a dark and windy night, Jiang Luo grabbed her bundle and made a swift escape.

But she hadn't gone far when a piercing cat's yowl split the darkness. She looked up to see a crowd of paper figures carrying a glaringly red bridal sedan chair, drifting toward her in a swirl of white mist.

Jiang Luo's scalp prickled. She turned and ran. "Sorry to bother you! I'm out of here!"

After finally making it home, Jiang Luo realized that things weren't any more normal inside than they were outside. Her father reeked, his face a ghastly blue-white, and maggots crawled in her mother's eye sockets...

Someone told her she could leave the city by getting into the bridal sedan chair carried by the paper figures.

Jiang Luo believed them.

The chair rocked and swayed, and sure enough, it carried her out of the city. But no one told her it was a one-way ticket to the Ghost King's wedding banquet!

Red candles flickered and ghostly shadows filled the hall. The Ghost King, dressed in wedding robes, curled his lips into a smile. "Would you give me your heart?"

Jiang Luo, forcing a smile: "I only want your life, but you want my heart?"

With one swift stroke, Jiang Luo dispatched him without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, this bout of "killing her husband to prove the Dao" activated a golden finger!

She went straight from an ordinary mortal to the Qi Refining stage and even obtained a peerless immortal manual!

Thus began her long road of cultivation. But every so often, a question would cross her mind: Why was the Ghost King so weak?

Only much later did she finally remember that they had known each other long ago...

You Chuan was the last to close his eyes.

Outside, streaks of flame poured down from the sky, and a colossal Golden Crow wailed mournfully.

At his feet lay the bones of his fellow disciples.

His sect had been reduced to scorched earth, and every disciple had perished. There was one last thing he had to do:

Send his little junior sister into her next life.

His little junior sister was not yet a hundred years old. Compared with her level of cultivation, she was still a child.

How could she shoulder the expectations of so many people all by herself...?

In the end, You Chuan went against his master's dying wish.

He would use his own life to pave the way for her...
