Li Keyu sat on an arm chair in front of a desk in her room, inside her very own courtyard.
She opened a wooden door on the ground underneath her feet and brought out a box containing stacks and stacks of bamboo scrolls.
She placed an empty scroll on the desk, made some ink and placed brush to ink and began writing in immortal script.
'This will make the eleventh year since my regression.'
'some events still hold true while some are completely different from what they should be.'
My name is Li Keyu , I was a genius of the Li family in my first life , born with a qilin superior grade physique and spirit roots.
I had two step mothers and two step sisters and a step brother.
When I was nine years old I met my third step mother and a year later I met my second step brother, who sadly passed away just a month after he was born.
Only men can lead the family with talents in alchemy, so I focused all my strength in cultivation.
Just a year later I cultivated to the early stage of body strengthening realm.
Due to my talents, I was taken in as a personal disciple of the sect master of the rising Phoenix sect, and cultivated to the peak of the body strengthening realm in just three years.
That same year, I got news from my mum, that my third step mum took her own life because she couldn't bear the loss of her child, and that the family head, my father is rarely seen anymore , always secluded in in aboad and never coming out.
I did not think much about the whole ordeal maybe because I was too young or simply too naive.
I received a qi gathering technique that will allow me grow all the way to the foundation establishment realm, same realm as my master who was a foundation establishment peak realm cultivator.
I focused on my cultivation and in just seven years I was already at the peak of the qi gathering realm.
And in that time I got news from my mother that my father had passed away.
The 'cleansing' was conducted by the imperial council on this year and my master helped me sneak my mother out of that region just to be safe.
Luckily I did because the village of houzi was later marked for a purge, I don't know what happened to my other step siblings but I later got news they had all moved out long before any of this even began.
The news that came out from that region later was that multiple strong factions were fighting over something and has turned the entire zone into a no man's land.
Fifty years after , I reached the peak of foundation establishment realm , and in that time a secret realm was discovered and I gained an inheritance that gave me a technique to cultivate all the way to the core integration realm.
I was also mde the sect master of the rising Phoenix sect and my fame was spreading even outside the state as a prodigious genius.
Two hundred years later, I successfully cultivated to the peak of the core integration realm, by this time the activities of the demonic faction are almost everywher one looks.
I don't know the exact story but the demonic cultivators now act about like they owned the human continent, wrecking harvoc almost everywhere in the continent.
In this same year I received a summons from the imperial council.
I arrived in the imperial palace and I met so many ridiculously powerful cultivators who logically shouldn't be in the mortal world.
Then I met the emperor, who's aura was chief amongst them all, but this same emperor and his council made way for a sickly looking old man who emited no aura at all whatsoever.
They bowed as he passed through, even the emperor was bowing to this sickly looking old man.
So what do you think I did? ... I quickly lay on the floor, bowed flat throwing my ass up in the air , so he sees from where he's standing that I mean this bow.
If even the emperor can bow for this old looking man, who am I ? .
The man got close to me ,gestured for me to stand , I stood , and he stared at my face ,then at my chest and then my face again .
I felt like everything about me was being laid bare by this man , I dare not even look him in the eyes , for his eyes where like dark swelling vortices that seem to consume all light.
Then the man shook his head and walked out , as leisurely as he had come in.
Nobody said anything, and I don't dare ask what that was all about but I could tell from the looks of those present, the man didn't find what he was looking for.
I was still generously compensated though, I was given tons of treatures and a Spirit cultivation technique that would allow me get to the Tribulation Transcendence realm, a realm I didn't even know of their existence prior to coming to the capital.
I left the capital in Glee. And secluded myself in deep cultivation, ignoring all that was going on in the outside world.
Ten thousand years later, I reached the peak of Spirit Separation realm, during this time I mastered various technique's and became a powerhouse in my own rights.
I had chosen my law at the spirit formation realm and now I understood just how powerful the existences I met when I went to the capital were, the only one I still can't guage was that old man.
They all were at the Tribulation Transcendence realm, with varying degrees of strengths , which should be impossible since once you step into the tribulation transcendence realm , you either perish in the tribulation or you ascend to the immortal realm .
So how where they treating it like a normal cultivation level ?
Am starting to get a bad premonition about this whole ordeal with the imperial council, but what could I do?, I know once I step into the tribulation transcendence realm, I will either by ascending or dying.
Of course I chose to still go with it , cultivation is my life and I have nothing else left, my mum passed away earlier on and I have no idea what had become of the remnants of the Li family, what's the point of preserving a life that leads nowhere?!.
I went to the barren dessert between the human continent and the demonic continent and began my tribulation.
It lasted a whole year , and when it finally done , I arrived in the immortal realm .
