1 Ch 1. In the Mortal Realm Already!

Far away from human dwellings, there were mountains; in a mountain, there was a cave. The cave had no openings; it was as if the open space formed naturally. In the dark cave, lies a boy around the age of 12 years old, fast asleep.

From ancient times to now, these mountains were always populated with strong wild beasts, each claiming territories of another, but a few days ago, the roars of the beasts suddenly disappeared, as if the mountain has never been homes to them.

A' Xian was fast asleep; she woke up and found herself in a dark cave. She can feel that the atmosphere was off. How could the heavens have a place with such low spiritual energy? She concluded that she was in Mortal Realm.

" That old man, how could he be so impatient and sent me here so fast. I already told him I would depart after I took a nap. I haven't even prepared anything for the trip yet. Also, I haven't even said goodbye to my friends."

Looking around the dark cave, she can sense the high spiritual herds that the cave contains. She finds it weird for such high spiritual herds to grow in this cave with almost no spiritual energy. Unless the herbs have existed for a long time to accommodate this great amount of high spiritual energy, she didn't care much about the spiritual herbs and stored them for future use in her storage ring.

"Master! What were you thinking? Why send me to a cave full of high spiritual grass, and it's so dark in here too. Don't you know that this is the Mortal Realm? High spiritual herds can attract strong wild beast."

A' Xian looks for light so that she can exit the dark cave. She then saw small lights dispensing through a small open hole.

" No wonder there is no wild beast; this cave was seal to the point of not leaking any spiritual energy."

Exiting the cave, she was very excited. After reading countless books about the Mortal Realm, she has always wanted to go to the Mortal Realm, but every time she tries to escape to the Mortal Realm, her master still manages to stop her. Secretly, she can only steal her master's Mirror of Boundless Truth to view the Mortal Realm. Now she's finally here!

Flashback

It was a very chaotic day in the heavens. Heavenly soldiers were everywhere, rushing to their designated locations for their missions and tasks.

In the heavenly garden, A'Xian was sitting on a chair facing her master, walking back and forth anxiously, which is different from his usual self. In a serious and stable sound, her master asked.

" Hey brat, you want to visit the Mortal Realm, right?"

"Master, you already know the answer; why bother asking? Experiencing all the mortal's so-called pleasures of life has always been my lifelong wish. But you never allowed me to go. Mhm."

" You brat! With your wanton behavior, if I let you go, then won't I be summoned to see that pretentious iceberg every day."

"Master! How could you say that? Your hurting your precious, fragile disciple's heart."

" You? Fragile? If your fragile, then won't I be invincible."

"Don't know where you got your behaviors from." Her master sighted.

" Ay. Master, you can't be so irresponsible. Haven't you heard the mortal's saying? ' A child represents its parent; A student learns from his teacher.' If not you, then I can't think of anyone else who fits perfectly into this statement."

" Brat, it looks like you don't want to go visit the Mortal Realm after all. Forget it saves me the trouble anyway."

A' Xian, hearing what her master just said, springs up from her seat and cling onto her master's arm.

She cries out loud in a pitiful manner.

" MASTERR, this disciple is wrong; please take pity on me and let this pitiful bird out to experience the outside world. I swear, I won't cause trouble; you don't have to worry about meeting that poker face Emporer. Please master, let me go. Please, please, please."

Her master looked at her and took a deep breath.

" No need to swear; I'm willing to let you go down there and do as you see fit. You can kill or save anyone you want. As long as you do 1 thing for me when you reach the Mortal Realm and promise me three things."

A' Xian heard what her master just said and can't believe it.

"Master! Are you really letting me go to the Mortal Realm? For, for real, I can do whatever I want. "

"You're not tricking me, right?"

" Think, whatever you want, I'm serious right now."

A' Xian looks at her master and can tell that he seems to be speaking the truth.

" Okay, I agree. Even if you add more conditions, I'm more than happy to accept them as long as I can visit the Mortal Realm."

" Good, now then listen well! I need you to go to the Mortal Realm and look for my first love. When you find her, stay with her, and when the time comes, return to the Heavenly Realm with her."

" Then where can I find her?"

" I first met her in Wu You City; search for her there when you get to the Mortal Realm, and then I will contact you."

" Is your first love the one you said you met her when you went through your tribulations in the Mortal Realm?"

" Hasn't it been 1,000 years? Won't she have reincarnated multiples times already?"

" Idiot, she's not mortal. Of course, she is still alive."

" Not human, but can still be alive after a 1,000 year...hmmm.. she can't be a deity; if she is, she would have been in the Heavenly Realm now."

Then A' Xian came to an answer.

"Ma..Ma...Master, you can't be telling me that your lover is a beast?"

Her master sighed and said," It has been 1,000 years now since I returned. I have never seen her again. As for why I can't find her myself is because I have matters to deal with, so I will leave this to you."

" Listen closely. She isn't an ordinary beast but a demonic five-tail purple fox."

" Oh my heaven, master! Demonic beasts are considered more demon than a beast. The Heavens and Mortal Realm have always been at odds with them. Sending me to find her is as sending me to the gates of Hell."

" Stop blabbering nonsenses and just listen!"

A' Xian closes her mouth and stops talking.

" Now, the most important part is your three promises to me. Listen well, and don't forget them."

A' Xian felt the change in her master's tone and can tell that the three promises are really important.

" Number 1, you must not reveal your identity.

Number 2, you must not die.

Lastly, number 3, don't associate with anything demonic other than Zihu (Five-tailed Purple Fox)."

A' Xian felt great relief after knowing that the three promises are just too easy.

"Then master, when can I set off?"

"Right now."

'' Right now? But I haven't even prepared anything yet, and I still need to let my friends know of this. Also, I'm a little tired. Master, I need to sleep a little to replenish myself first. I'll immediately set off after waking up."

'Stinky lass, you're always so lazy; how are you going to survive down there.'

" When you get to the Human Realm, always be careful. Do not trust others easily, especially those with connections to demons. Since the day you became my disciple, this will be the first time you are leaving my side. Remember, when encountered with something dangerous that you can't overcome, then just run and hide. Your safety is the top priority."

" Yes, yes, master your acting as I'm a weak girl with no power. Don't you know that my luck is always good? Even without my powers, just base on my luck, I can definitely survive in the mortal realm. I'm going to sleep now. See ya later, old man!"

A' Xian walked away, then she suddenly felt super sleepy and pass out.

-Present

" I have been wandering in this mountain for half a day already; why is it so quiet? There are no signs of any living things at all. Shouldn't beasts be jumping out to attack me no matter where I go and where are the mortals?"

Finally, A' Xian saw someone flying towards her. The man was a cultivator with a handsome face in a light blue robe.
