The magnificent sun hung high in the sky, its light illuminating the land below. A cool yet warm breeze gently brushed against the leaves and flowers, carrying a sense of serenity. In the distance, a hundred mountains stood in an orderly line, their towering forms resembling pillars holding up the heavens.
At the center of this majestic range stood a grand palace. Above its entrance, intricately carved letters spelled the name: Ethereal Blossom Palace.
Disciples bustled about, passing through the palace gates, their movements hinting at a disciplined and vibrant community. Yet, notably, only women could be seen here—no men were present.
Surrounding the palace were six other mountains, each bearing a distinct name: Sun Peak, Moon Peak, Blade Peak, Herblin Peak, Star Peak, and River Peak.
Every mountain was divided into three circles: the Outer Circle for outer disciples, the Inner Circle for inner disciples, and the Core Circle for true disciples. Each peak also had a single main disciple, a student personally taught by the ruling elder of that mountain. These ruling elders were highly respected and known collectively as the Supreme Elders.
Beyond these six peaks, another mountain loomed—a massive, solitary presence. This towering peak, equal in size to the combined grandeur of the other six, was called Purple Flower Peak.
Unlike the bustling activity of the Ethereal Blossom Palace and its surrounding peaks, Purple Flower Peak was serene and secluded, home to only two people: a master and her disciple.
Above the grand Purple Flower Peak stood two houses. The first was a magnificent structure, The house is nearly as tall as a two-story building in the modern world.
There is another house at a greater distance, almost the height of a one-story building. The smaller house had a serene charm, surrounded by a 10-meter courtyard in the front and a 5-meter backyard behind.
The courtyard brimmed with vibrant purple flowers, their fragrance filling the air with a rich and soothing aroma.
At the center of the courtyard stood a towering tree, its height reaching 300 centimeters. Its lush green leaves danced gently in the breeze, exuding a serene and calming aura.
In the backyard, there was a smaller, unique tree with purple leaves, standing at only 100 centimeters. Known as the Iris Tea Blossom Tree, it was famed for producing the rare and luxurious Iris Tea, renowned for its ability to calm the mind, heart, spirit, and soul. This tree was an invaluable treasure, revered even among the wealthy and powerful.
In the middle of the purple flower garden, a circular patch of soft grass created a natural platform. There, a girl of about 12 years sat cross-legged on a silk cushion, radiating an air of elegance and mystery.
Her beauty was breathtaking, even at her young age. She had long, flowing hair of an ethereal sky-blue hue, swaying gently in the wind. Her delicate face was flawless, with porcelain-like skin and a soft, round shape. Her lips were a tempting shade of crimson, like ripe tomatoes begging to be savored, while her eyes closed.
She wore an exquisitely Azure Blossom Raiment. The dress was a flowing combination of black and deep blue silk, embroidered with golden floral patterns that shimmered under the sunlight. Her ensemble was complemented by matching jewelry—an intricate pair of earrings resembling blooming lotuses, a delicate silver bracelet adorned with azure gemstones, and a slender necklace that rested gently on her neck. Her nails were painted a bold red, adding a touch of vibrance to her ethereal appearance. Even her small heels matched the elegance of her outfit, made of black silk with golden embroidery.
Despite her youthful age, her figure was surprisingly mature, with a slender yet curvaceous body. Her presence seemed to challenge reality, exuding a charm that was both innocent and alluring.
She meditated silently in the center of the flower garden, her body enveloped by a natural harmony. Spirit Qi flowed toward her from every direction, converging around her like a gentle stream. As she cultivated, the air around her became cold. It felt like winter and cool. The scene looked like a painting, full of elegance, power and peace.
Han Yue cultivated as the air around her grew colder. Gradually, the Spirit Qi began to dissipate, and the cold air faded away. She opened her eyes, Her eyes resemble a beautiful sky blue color, filled with calmness and composure. Inhaling and exhaling fresh air, she murmured, "Finally broke through to Qi Gathering Third Realm."
She mused to herself, "I don't know where Master went." Her thoughts wandered again to her master. "It's been three years since I came to Ethereal Blossom Palace, and I've spent 11 years in this world."
Han Yue wasn't originally from this world. She had come from the modern world, where she had once been a man and a police officer. Before becoming a police officer, she had been a thief.
After being arrested, her talent in theft and combat caught the attention of an old police officer, who happened to be her neighbor. The officer pressured her into joining the police force, threatening to blame every unresolved theft case on her if she refused.
Reluctantly, she joined the police and worked on many cases over five years. At the age of 28, she was pursuing a murderer when she was shot and killed. After her death, she reincarnated into the body of a one-year-old girl.
At first, when Han Yue realized she had been reborn in a girl's body, it made her uncomfortable. However, upon discovering that this world was a cultivation world, she quickly adapted to her new reality. Her experiences as an orphan, thief, and police officer in her previous life helped her accept the situation with ease.
When she was child, her grandmother often told her stories about magnificent immortal humans. Coupled with her knowledge as an avid reader of cultivation novels in her past life, she quickly deduced that this was most likely a cultivation world. When her master later take her disciple of her, made her suspicions were validated.
Three years ago, her master found her in a small town near a mountain. Her master had been flying overhead when she felt a familiar presence and descended to investigate. At that time, Han Yue was selling vegetables in the town. Her master approached her and decided to take her as a disciple.
For the first eight years of her life in this world, Han Yue lived in a small house with her grandmother, growing vegetables in a nearby village. However, her grandmother passed away two years ago. She began cultivating three years ago, and in that time, she had already reached the Qi Gathering Third Realm.
Her progress was astonishing—advancing from a mortal to a cultivator in such a short time. In her first year, she broke through the Body Refining Realm, and in just two more years, she advanced to the Qi Gathering Third Realm.
Her rapid cultivation was due to her rare Ice Spirit Root and Ice Phoenix Body. Her master also played a significant role by providing her with expensive and hard-to-find resources for bathing, which strengthened her foundation. Han Yue's dedication and hard work further contributed to her incredible speed in cultivation.
