After returning to the Devouring Moon Sect, Fenrir didn't waste any time before returning to her closed Cultivation once again. Though she had experienced rapid growth in her previous world, there were few ways to experience 'leaps' in growth just by practicing a simple technique. She didn't harbor the delusion that she would become one of the most powerful people in the world in a short period of time, Fenrir knew that she needed to continue growing as quickly as possible in order to avoid a disaster. Even if it ended up taking several years, there would come a point where she stood at the very apex of the world since, just as her Master had stated in the past, the only true limit was a person's patience and comprehension. So long as you never gave up trying, you were capable of functionally infinite growth, both physically, spiritually, and emotionally...
While Fenrir had secluded herself in the mountain's peak, Wen Xiulan was busy taking care of the rather chaotic affairs of the Sect. Because of Fenrir's rather tyrannical actions, they were no longer under pressure from competing Sects since few people wanted to antagonize someone that could wipe out an entire group of Elders in a single day. The mystery surrounding Fenrir and her elusive 'Master' kept most people at bay while a veritable horde of Cultivators continued to show up in the hopes of joining their Sect. Because of this, Wen Xiulan found herself extremely busy since she needed to make sure those attempting to enter the Devouring Moon Sect weren't enemy spies that simply wanted to infiltrate and discover the truth...
From amongst the Cultivators attempting to join the Sect, there were several faces that, if she paid them any attention, Fenrir would have recognized. They were the former students of the Blazing Sun Sect, led by the 'girly man', Hua Yan. This was the same man who had stayed back to buy time for his fellow Disciples, even knowing his own death was assured. Since he had known Fenrir was from the Devouring Moon Sect, he decided to try his luck by offering up the treasures he had looted from his prior Sect in order to follow in the footsteps of his benefactor. Though part of him also held a small hope that would have earned Fenrir's ire, it wasn't his main focus as, following behind Hua Yan, there were two young men, three young women, and a mature beauty who had uncommon purple eyes...
The youngest in their group, only seventeen years old, was Hua Yan's younger brother, Xuan Yan. He had only managed to enter the Blazing Sun Sect with the support of Hua Yan and, compared to most Cultivators, had a relatively demure personality. Since he pursued the Scholarly Dao, meaning he preferred to avoid fighting, Xuan Yan was often the target of scorn for other Cultivators, even amongst his fellow Disciples. As for the other young man, he was the would-be rival of Hua Yan, Zhu Qiu, a man with uncharacteristically short hair and visible muscles. He focused more on the development of his body than his spirit and carried around a large ornate spear that had a blade forged from a rare blue ore...
Lingering near Zhu Qiu was his own younger sibling, an adorable young maiden named Mao Qiu, possessing a petite figure and a perpetually smiling face that produced two dimples whenever she found something that caught her attention. As for the other two girls nearby, they were the close friends of Mao Qiu who, during the incident at the Blazing Sun Sect, followed after her to safety as their personal strength was relatively low. They were the type that pursued Cultivation to preserve their beauty and protect themselves, caring little about achieving the pinnacle of Cultivation since they lacked the 'talent' required...
Completely contrary to the other girls in the group, the final beauty, with her deep purple eyes and long black hair, was anything but talentless. Her name was Gong Xinyue and she possessed a rare constitution that allowed her to practice Yang Elemental techniques without the detriments other women would suffer. In most circumstances, such techniques would not only be much weaker in the hands of women than other natures but it would also cause their body to experience changes, making them somewhat more masculine as their strength increased.
Such things were enough to deter most women from even picking up such techniques but, having found a rare scroll deep within the mountains at a young age, Gong Xinyue had already reached a startling degree of Cultivation for her age. The only discernable downside had been that her body matured a bit faster than others, giving her the appearance of someone in their mid-twenties, even though she was only nineteen years old. Since most Cultivators aged slower when increasing their strength, it was a very noticeable change that had caused Gong Xinyue to become somewhat distant from others in order to avoid their curious gazes and incessant questions...
