The Original Desire Sect is located at the Original Mountain.
Of course, this was not the original name of the mountain and it was only after the Original Desire Sect moved here that it took this name.
By now, people had long forgotten its previous name.
The Original Mountain is surrounded by all kinds of dangerous terrains, such as forests, swamps, deserts, etc.., with these terrains being the first line of defense of the Original Desire Sect.
At this time, just outside of one of these terrains, a pair of young men were standing.
Staring into the dangerous swamp that was filled with strange, poisonous miasma, a young man with frail appearance had a look of fear on his face.
"Brother Yu, are you sure that this is the correct way to reach the immortal sect?", Wu Qian asked the burly man next to him with some worry.
The man, Brother Yu, showed a hesitant expression that soon turned serious.
"It's absolutely true. I asked my father and he said that as long as you pass through this swamp, you'll be able to meet the immortals."
"Immortals...", Wu Qian murmured and his eyes shone with a brilliant light.
Compared to mere mortals like him, immortals are able to control fire, create lighting and even fly in the sky.
In the legends his father had told him, the immortals are able to live for hundreds of years and are not afraid of the wind nor the snow.
Even his father, who was the city lord of a large city had to be respectful when he met them.
The frail man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"As long as I became an immortal, I will not only be able to save my father, but I might also be able to find my mother."
Thinking of this, his hesitant expression soon disappeared and he was ready to step inside the dangerous swap.
Saving his father was his highest priority!
Just then, Brother Yu put his hand on his shoulder and showed an expression of surprise.
"Look! Something is coming out.", he yelled and pointed towards the swamp.
Wu Qian looked and saw that the indeed, the cattails on the edge of the swamp were rustling violently, as if something was coming out.
Moreover, judging from the loud steps, what was coming out was huge.
"Run!", the burly man pulled Wu Qian from the shoulder and was about to escape, when the cattails in the edge of the swamp parted and the "huge" creature walked out.
But the "creature" that walked out instantly surprised both of them, causing their mouths to widen in shock.
It was a beautiful young woman, with white hair and gray eyes.
If it was any other time, the two of them would have just been shocked by her beauty, but at the moment, their attention was attracted by what was on top of her head.
A five meter-in-height tiger.
To be more accurate, it was the corpse of a five meter-in-height tiger, which the woman held casually above her head.
From her expression, it could be seen that the corpse was not a burden for her at all.
The two men were surprised, but the young woman, Chu Wuyao was also surprised when she noticed the two of them.
"Two mortals?", she sized them up and had to admire them for their courage.
Even she, who was a cultivator and had a special map given by the sect had struggled to get out of the swamp, but two mere mortals had the guts to go inside.
Sure enough, ignorance is bliss.
"Little kids, this is not the place for you to be. Go back to your house to play.", she waved one of her hands and reminded them.
Then, she didn't care if they listened or not and was about to leave this place.
After all, she was not their mother.
Even if they didn't listen her words, Chu Wuyao wouldn't care if they died or not.
The two young men stared blankly at her leaving figure and struggled to recover from the shock.
Just as Chu Wuyao was about to go away, the frail man, Wu Qian, woke up.
"This should be one of those rumored immortals that my father has told me about!"
"No wonder she looks even younger than me."
"This is my only chance to save my father!", he thought excitedly and immediately ran towards Chu Wuyao.
"Plop!"
Then, he knelt on the ground.
"Immortal, please accept me as your disciple!", he shouted and lowered his head respectfully.
Chu Wuyao saw his respectful appearance and the excitement on his face and became a speechless.
She wanted to tell him that she was actually younger than him and see how his expression would change, but she suppressed these thoughts.
Sizing up the young man on the ground, Chu Wuyao saw that he had an ordinary appearance that would be completely unnoticeable inside a crowd, but his eyes were filled with strange determination.
From his fine clothes, it could be seen that he was born in a wealthy family but judging from how he came here and wanted to try and enter the dangerous swamp, he should be in a certain predicament.
Of course, all of these had nothing to do with Chu Wuyao.
"I don't accept disciples.", she looked at him and shook her head.
Hearing her words, Wu Qian was immediately disappointed.
"If even the immortal doesn't want to accept me as their disciple, doesn't that mean that I will never be able to save my father?", his eyes were filled with despair.
But Chu Wuyao's next words caused some hope to appear again.
"Of course, I can see that you have superb qualifications and are simply a genius made for practicing immortality."
"I can't accept you as my disciple, but I can give you a precious technique to practice.", Chu Wuyao said and reached into one of her pockets, taking out a thin book.
"As long as you practice this technique, with your qualifications, becoming an immortal is almost certain."
When her words were finished, she threw the book to the young man, who caught it his hands and looked at it as if it was a treasure.
"That's it. If you're lucky, we might meet again in the future.", Chu Wuyao spoke and walked away, still holding the tiger above her head.
"Thank you! Thank you immortal!"
"I'll always remember this kindness!", Wu Qian kowtowed repeatedly and his head continuously hit the ground.
Only after Chu Wuyao had completely disappeared did he get up and read the title on the cover of the thin book.
"Heavenly Emperor Sutra"
The words were written in golden, majestic letters and just by looking them, Wu Qian felt that he was able to understand the meaning of life and death.
****
On the other side, when Chu Wuyao walked away and the two men's figures could no longer be seen, she smiled slightly and had to restrain herself from laughing out loud.
The so-called "Heavenly Emperor Sutra" was actually a technique Chu Wuyao had picked up from the corpse of Cai Yu in the Warring Beasts Forest.
The "Heavenly Emperor Sutra" was just the name she gave it.
The technique's original name was Yin Yang Technique.
Although this technique is real and one can practice and increase their cultivation, there will also be some side-effects in the process.
Namely, a male will gain female characteristics, while a female will gain male characteristics.
Chu Wuyao guessed that the creator of the technique wanted to trick people because these changes were irreversible.
Recalling the young man's respectful eyes when she left, she could already picture his resentful appearance when he learned the truth in the future.
"Hey, it's just that I saw that he was in a dangerous situation and wanted to help him."
"I'm such a good person.", she sighed emotionally.
"Even if my good deeds are not appreciated, I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation for the good of the world!"
