The pain slowly spread through Ye Rushang's body as an unbearable force seemed to engulf her.

Her eyes opened as she saw a familiar sight. It was her old room at Ye Residence. It had been years since she had last got into this place.

Ye residence was very expansive due to its large number of disciples and elders. It had exactly twenty-four elders, six branch masters and two hundred disciples. Which were all fleshed out into different sectors.

If one didn't look closely, they would think it was a small sect. In order to enter Ye residence, one needed a good endorsement. Only orange roots were allowed, the highest being a orange root youth, and the lowest being a yellow spirit root.

He was the only exception as he was the son of one of the branch masters. In the martial realm one must be powerful to survive.

Just like in the wild, it was survival of the fittest, only

the strong survived and the weak were trampled upon their feet.

The rankings included heavenly god, heavenly priest, heavenly paragon, heavenly venerate, yang lord, Gold Qi realm, true warrior realm, and martial Qi realm. It was unknown that there were realms higher than the heavenly gods on this mainland. Ye Rushang, however, had observed numerous powerful people who could belittle even the heavenly gods. This people on this continent were even weaker compared to the ones she had seen.

It was not an easy task if you wanted to be strong. The Ye family only had one heavenly priest, and he was the first elder, her grandfather. So far not even her father nor uncle had been able to break through to heavenly realm.

*******

Ye Rushang got up from the bed.

Shocked!

How could she be alive? She had clearly died, and Luo Yun was the one who killed her.

Hatred and hostility filled her eyes.

Luo Yun!

For two hundred years Ye Rushang and Luo Yun fought endlessly like cat and mouse, and Luo Yun emerged as the victor in the end. Ye Rushang still remembered her proud smile when she finally won.Powerless she could only watch her life esssence slowly slip from her gasp

Ye Rushang had already guessed she had been reborn. She vowed in her heart to get even with Luo Yun and the other people who humiliated her. Ye Rushang wasn't a righteous person, but neither was she terrible. She just followed her instincts.

Walking out of her courtyard she left for her father's study. After leaving the Ye residence and entering the Yuxun sect, she never saw her father again. He was assassinated by cultivators sent by Luo Yun.

Ye Rushang didn't know how she offended Luo Yun, she kept looking for her Phoenix bloodline.

Yes, the mighty Phoenix bloodline, the mystical fire race. Ye Rushang was lucky enough to be born with a bloodline like that. Sadly, it seems like having a bloodline like that had drained her of all luck.

Ye Rushang was a heavenly master when she died, but Luo Yun still surpassed her as she was already a heavenly priest. Therefore, it was effortless for her to kill Ye Rushang.

Luo! Yun!

I'll repay you a thousandfold, you just wait. Ye Rushang was at the third stage of first heaven martial Qi, and her spirit root was high, so she was very certain she could enter Yuxun sect again.

But the three-stage assessment test is very difficult, and some participants die in the process. Pushing the door open, Ye Rushang heard a familiar but distant voice.

It was her father, Ye Xianchen....

"Father..”

The grief she had held for years flooded in and Ye Xianchen rushed to Ye Rushang's side when he saw her crying.

"Ru'er..! What’s the matter, why are you crying?"

Ye Rushang smiled and wiped her tears. Seeing her father again, nothing made her happier.

"It's nothing father, I just miss you, that's all…"

Ye Rushang looked at the other person in the room. It was her third uncle, Ye Zhihan.

"Greetings to third uncle…"

Ye Rushang bowed.

As a powerful cultivator, her third uncle had been trapped in a bottleneck for several years now. When a cultivator reaches the realm of yang lord, he or she gets trapped in the realm of yang lord.

Most cultivators were unable to break it and thus remained in the seventh realm for a long time. However, there were only a few who managed to break the bottleneck and reach the heavenly realm.

Ye Rushang had lived for two centuries and knew several ways to break their bottleneck.

Somewhere gruesome and somewhere bearable, Ye Zhihan had been in the bottleneck for quite some time, and it would be difficult to break it.

"Ru'er, how about you consider applying to Yuxun sect? Their sect assessment tests are difficult, but I'm sure you can make it."

Ye Zhihan was very caring towards Ye Rushang and was always encouraging her to cultivate with him. Ye Rushang smiled and said, "Ru'er, will listen to third uncle and try out for the Yuxun sect…"

Ye Rushang said and continued, "Third uncle, I have a way for you to breakthrough into the heavenly realm…"

Ye Xianchen and Ye Zhihan looked at each other perplexed. Ye Rushang was a lazy cultivator. How could she know anything about breaking the bottleneck?

"Ru'er don't joke about the bottleneck. How can you claim to know how to break it?" said Ye Zhihan.

Ye Rushang smiled and brought out a Flamin Sichuan pill and a black tortoise shell from her space ring and gave it to her uncle.

"Third, uncle, I collected this item when I stumbled into a cave in the mountains…" Ye Rushang said this randomly to avoid being asked a lot of questions. Although she had picked it up by chance on one of her strolls.

Ye Zhihan stared at Ye Rushang in shock. That was the Flaming Sichuan pill. It was rumored to have the power to let a cultivator transcend two realms.

"Uncle, please soak the tortoise shell for half a day and take the Flaming Sichuan pill when you get into the water…"

Ye Rushang said and turned to bow in the direction of her father.

"Father, I'm heading back to my courtyard to cultivate..."

Ye Xianchen nodded absentmindedly. Ye Xianchen was trying to process what had happened his daughter after she woke up.

Ye Rushang was stunningly beautiful and thus all the male disciples fell for her. It was only the strongest among the disciples, who was Yin Wei, who would approach her. Who was already at true warrior realm stage three.

He was the only one who had a blue spirit root. The roots of such colors as blue, purple, indigo, white and others were not known on the mainland.

Speaking of Yin Wei.

"Greetings Elder, young miss..."

Ye Rushang stared at the handsome youth in front of her, who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Yin Wei, how can I help you?"

Ye Rushang already knew what Yin Wei wanted to ask her. Yin Wei smiled proudly at Ye Rushang's response to him. He knew his looks attracted many of the female disciples and Ye Rushang shouldn't be any better.

"I was wondering if Elder Miss would like to cultivate with me...?"

Yin Wei flashed a smile right after, as Ye Rushang smiled in disgust.

She had seen many handsome men in her life, and Yin Wei wasn't even on the list.

"Yin Wei, are you trying to seduce me?"

Ye Rushang flashed a cold smile. Yin Wei's face darkened. When did he ever say he wanted to seduce her?

"No. No, Elder Miss, you've got it wrong. I did not mean to imply anything that sounds like that..."

"Really…."

Yin Wei nodded and tried to touch her..

Swoosh!!!…

Ye Rushang flung his hand, "Touch me, and you'll see a bloody hand on the floor..."

Ye Rushang said coldly and walked away, leaving the starstruck Yin Wei.
