Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 49. A Girl's Story
Dawei, Huangqi Town.

This ordinary little town is unusually lively today, supposedly because an immortal from a sacred mountain has come here to take a talented disciple as his apprentice.

The Xia family's daughter thus gained this divine destiny.

In the courtyard, beneath a verdant Podocarpus macrophyllus, the white-robed immortal looked at the girl before him and sighed: "Mortals are born, grow old, get sick, and die, while immortals exist eternally. Your destiny is set on the path of immortality."

The girl is eighteen years old this year, which is the age for marriage. She got engaged a few days ago and was preparing for the wedding. Unexpectedly, the immortal master passed by this place, saw that she had good potential, and wanted to take her into the palace to cultivate.

This immortal was from the Feather Moon Immortal Palace, an immortal among immortals. If an ordinary person were to receive such an immortal opportunity, they would be overjoyed. However, the girl had no intention of cultivating.

For her, longevity was not as important as being with the one she loved.

But the Palace Master has given a strict order that this treasure must be brought back and properly nurtured.

This woman has a great affinity with the celestial palace.

The immortal was struggling with how to persuade the girl to cultivate, but unexpectedly, she changed her mind today. The immortal was overjoyed. Although the girl was older, her talent was too good. As long as she was properly nurtured, she would still have the opportunity to reach the top in the future.

The girl approached the immortal: "Immortal Master, if I achieve mastery in my cultivation, may I bring my family to cultivate with me?"

The immortal readily agreed: "Of course."

"If you cultivate yourself, can you still get married?"

"Of course you can. With your talent, it doesn't matter if you marry several people."

The girl shook her head: "I already have a fiancé, and I will only marry him. He wants me to go with you to cultivate, and I will obey him, so I will go."

The girl then asked, "Can't I take him with me on this journey to cultivate?"

The immortal smiled wryly and said, "Our Feather Moon Immortal Palace only accepts women. You should bring a man with you."

She suddenly thought of another line of dialogue: "You haven't entered the path of immortality yet. What if your fiancé is bewitched by other disciples?"

What would happen if a man suddenly appeared in the Land of Women?
The young woman thought so too. She didn't mind her fiancé taking concubines. In fact, she had long had this idea. Taking a few concubines would be a way to compensate her fiancé. However, the concubines had to be under her control and would have to serve her tea.

So let's wait until she has achieved a certain level of cultivation before bringing her fiancé to the immortal sect. That way, if her fiancé falls in love with someone else, he won't be able to abandon her.

The immortal did not take the girl's words to heart. Too many people sever their ties with the mortal world. Most of them, having witnessed the splendor of the immortal path, forget all that they have in the mortal realm.

The gap between immortals and mortals is insurmountable.

Once the girl went to the celestial palace, she found seven or eight beautiful mortal women and, taking advantage of the night, stuffed them into her fiancé's room.

Even if she guarantees her fiancé a lifetime of wealth and honor, it won't be long before he forgets her amidst the decadent and corrupt lifestyle.

Feather Moon Immortal Palace has done this many times; everything is so simple and easy for them.

The immortal hadn't expected that both of them would be so stubborn.

He's incredibly stubborn!

The women who were placed in her fiancé's room were all beautiful, some plump and some slender, but the young man punched them all out the door with a single blow.

That night, the group of women, their faces bruised and purple, knelt before the immortal, sobbing and complaining.

The immortals were quite troubled.

She was really puzzled; she thought the boy probably didn't like women.

Even if you don't marry her, you can still try her out. I've never seen anything like it. Especially when that young man saw her, his eyes were as calm as the moon in a lake. He was even more ethereal than she, a fairy.

The girl's behavior was even more outrageous.

After the young girl entered the palace, a grand ceremony was held for her to become a disciple, and she became the palace master's last disciple.

The last disciple of the Seven Realms of Yao Guang! This is a destiny that many people can only envy.

Palace Master Feng Xianlong personally led the girl onto the Immortal Path, and then locked her in her cave, saying that she would not be allowed to leave until she reached the fifth realm of Dao within three years.

As a result, the girl truly reached the fifth realm in three years.

What kind of monster is this?
A few days before the girl was about to break through the gates of the Five Realms, Palace Mistress Feng Xianlong summoned the immortal who had brought the girl into the palace to the main hall. Inside the white jade hall, Feng Xianlong sat high above the heavens and said, "Tang'er must not be allowed to see that fiancé."

The immortal was puzzled and asked why.

Although the Celestial Palace severs ties with the mortal world, it doesn't completely sever them. What loyalty can disciples trained in this way possibly have for the palace?
Therefore, if a disciple who has severed his mortal ties still insists on resuming them, the celestial palace will naturally not stop him. And if this group of determined disciples sees their mortal husbands remarry, they will most likely no longer think about mortal ties.

The later Cold-Clothed Immortal hated Cold-Water Immortal precisely because of her husband's new wife.

Only a very small minority—those disciples like the young girl—who do not mind their husbands having concubines, or whose husbands firmly reject their new wives like young boys, can rekindle their past romance.

This was the first time an immortal had ever encountered two stubborn individuals appearing at the same time.

The immortals all thought the young woman was about to bring her fiancé back to the palace, but unexpectedly, the palace master intervened and stopped her.

"Tang'er is a 'Red Phoenix Tribulation Body' and is not suitable for contact with men. Moreover, that young man is extremely strange."

The immortal saw the palace master's eyes for the first time, as if she were seeing the future far in the future. She heard the palace master say, "That young man is too heartless."

"Palace Master, what should we do?"

"Han Lian is quite skilled in illusion magic. Have her use it to create a future for Tang'er. Also, invite Tang'er's father to come; he will agree."

"But won't she hate us?"

The immortal was referring to a young girl.

The voice echoed in the hall: "If she wants to hate, let her hate me alone. She inherited the Dao of Ancestor Hongluan, which is also her fate."

When the girl emerged from seclusion.

What I heard was: "You mean him? He died of illness a few months ago, and his grave? We can't find it anymore."

~~~~~~~~~
"The young doctor said to wait three years for the little girl before getting married."

The fairy buried herself in Lu Changyuan's arms: "But for the first three years before entering the palace, the little girl was locked in a cave. She was not allowed to come out unless she broke through the fifth realm. In order to fulfill her promise to the young doctor, the little girl cultivated day and night and finally succeeded. But when she returned to her hometown, she found only a handful of yellow earth. Someone told her that the young doctor had died of illness."

Three years, five realms.

How much suffering must they endure?

What kind of feeling would you have if you had endured hardship only to find that the goal you were striving for had vanished?

Lu Changyuan looked at Xia Lianxue in silence.

After a long pause, Lu Changyuan said, "The Immortal Palace deceived her."

Xia Lianxue said sadly, "Yes, the Immortal Palace rebuilt an identical town just to deceive the little girl. Her young doctor is dead."

When Palace Master Miaoyu returned to her hometown after five realms, the small pharmacy was gone. Her father told her that the young doctor had died.

Lu Changyuan asked softly, "And then?"

"Thirty years later, the fairy palace told her that her father had died. The little girl finally learned the truth and returned to her true homeland. But by then, the young doctor was really dead."

But the matter is actually more complex than that.

The little girl wanted to save her fiancé, so she used the Red Phoenix Tribulation Body to forcefully comprehend the Dao of Time. She endured the pain of breaking through the Dao every day for thirty years before she finally entered the Dao of Time.

On the day she succeeded, she discovered that her enlightenment had been nothing but an illusion; she had been deceived.

She rushed back to her hometown to see her fiancé, only to find that everything had changed.

My father passed away, and my fiancé also passed away.

The Taoist priest of Chang'an waited for thirty years, finally erected a cenotaph for himself, and left his hometown.

She returned to her hometown after thirty-three years.

But we just happened to miss it.
