The Undying Furnace
Year 1: Ning Chen crossed worlds and joined the Green Lotus Sect, becoming a disciple under its sect master, Liu Ruyan—a woman as enchanting as a blooming lotus and as treacherous as a serpent.
Year 3: Ning Chen awakened the Supreme Yang Holy Body, a divine constitution rumored to hold the secrets of immortality. That same year, his trust was repaid with betrayal. Liu Ruyan shattered his cultivation and imprisoned him in the abyssal Demon Locking Prison, forging him into her personal cultivation furnace. Night after night, his Yang essence was drained to fuel her ambitions.
A century later, Liu Ruyan ascended to the Spirit Transformation Realm, becoming the youngest cultivator on the continent to achieve such heights. The Green Lotus Sect, once obscure, began its meteoric rise.
A millennium later, the sect transformed into an exclusive sanctuary for female cultivators. Among its disciples emerged nine prodigies of peerless beauty and talent, hailed as the Nine Luminaries of the Green Lotus Sect.
Three millennia later, Liu Ruyan transcended the heavenly tribulation and ascended as an immortal. The Green Lotus Sect became a holy land, drawing female cultivators from every corner of the realm.
Ten thousand years into the Daxia Era, the entire Green Lotus Holy Land—every last disciple—ascended to the heavens. Whispers spread like wildfire: “A divine entity slumbers in the depths of the Demon Locking Prison. Any woman who ventures there returns… reborn.”
When questioned, the sect’s disciples merely smile. “Yes,” they reply coyly. “Elder Brother… is indeed incomparably vast.”
But beneath the sect’s radiant glory lies a festering truth. The furnace that built this immortal dynasty now stirs—and its hunger may consume all.
