The Rakshasa Woman and Her Zhulong Mount

In a word: The Primordial World is nothing like the human realm. It is filled with deadly dangers and wondrous opportunities. The Rakshasi has drifted in the Sea of Blood for three hundred years, devouring countless fragmented souls that fell into its depths before finally taking human form. The Patriarch of the Nether River tells her that she was born with baleful bones and is ideally suited to cultivate karmic fire, so he takes her in and teaches her the way of Red Lotus Karmic Fire. That day, at the Monster Manor on Mount Cuiyun in the Western Ox Continent: “I've heard that the Northern Sea clan are deceitful, vicious, and fond of eating souls. It seems the rumors are true!” Meeting his gaze, the Rakshasi curls her lips into a half-smile, though her tone is unhurried: “Zhu Jiuyin, how about we make a deal?” His golden eyes fix coldly on the Rakshasi, betraying neither joy nor sorrow. After a moment, he says flatly, “What deal do you want to make?” The Rakshasi's lips lift slightly. Her voice is calm, but carries an unmistakable note of certainty: “To be honest, I am the Rakshasi, a direct disciple of the Patriarch of the Nether River beneath the Sea of Blood in the Northern Sea. I've just mastered Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and now I need to venture into the world to temper myself and strengthen my foundations.” “Zhu Jiuyin.” The Rakshasi turns to look at him, her eyes clear and bright. “You want to complete your Ancestral Witch true form, which requires devouring the flesh and blood of countless great demons. We Netherfolk, on the other hand, cultivate by taking only their primordial spirits and vital essence. We have no interest in their skin, flesh, or bones.” “What we seek is a perfect match. Why not join forces and hunt down the great demons and strange races of this world together?” “Agreed.” [Read before you begin] 1.
