Three months have passed since the event that robs thousands of their lives and currently, inside a cave there sits a young girl tends a silver-haired boy who lays their unconscious. She has been doing this for the last three months between practicing and hunting down food.

“Lucifer when are you going to wake up?” the girl muttered.

Suddenly his eyes began to slowly open causing her to be shocked as he slowly begins to sit up and looked around.

“How long have I been out?” he asks with a dry voice.

“Almost three months and do you know how worried I was.” Luna said hugging him but he tensed up as he saw a line of messages.

“Host has devoured 15,983 souls. Host is currently unconscious using souls to repair. Host body stabilized. Host used 14.978 souls to heal.”

‘It seems I can use souls to heal myself that good to know.’ He said to himself.

When Luna let Lucifer go he did a scan over his body which surprised him as his body became much stronger but what greatly surprised him is that he stepped into early xiantian realm.

‘It must have been when berserk mode activated causing my cultivation to skyrocket.’ I thought as he was deep in thought.

“Lucifer here eat this.” Luna said passing him a plate of meat.

“You have improved.” I said as I saw Luna cultivation was at the peak of the houtian realm.

“It has been three months or how else am I supposed to stay by your side.” Luna said with pride. Of course, her talents also played a role in her fast advancement as most take a few years to progress a stage.

The two of them sat there eating while talking that came to their mind.

“Where should we go now.” I asked.

“I remember mother telling me that grandfather was an elder in a sect called ‘Void Emperors’ and should we get a chance go to learn from him.” Luna said as she missed her mother who died two years ago from a disease.

‘Void Emperor sect, huh it might be good to head there as it will speed up our training speed’ I thought as taking my time is currently not an option.

“Do you know how to get there?” I ask.

“Mother said before she died is that if I ever need help is to break this talisman and grandfather would rush over.” Luna said bringing out a talisman.

“I suppose this is good of time as any, so use it.” I said while thinking why she didn’t use it earlier.

“Your completely right.” She said with shocked eyes as she shattered the talisman.

We sat there waiting for ten minutes when suddenly a man who looked to be in his sixty appeared in the sky. From the energy, he releases he around late Golden Core Realm which is after the xiantian stage. Suddenly a spirit scan swept over us and he appeared in front of us.

“Luna you grew so big.” The man said as he looked at Luna but took a quick glance at me before looking back quickly. “Why did you suddenly break the talisman?”

“We have nowhere to go now as everyone we knew is dead.” Luna said with a tear as she explained everything that happens between the Hydra clan and us. As Luna continued to explain the man begin to frown before killing intent could be felt emitting off of him.

“Those low life’s dare they cause my granddaughter trouble.” He angry shouted as Luna finish talking.

“I’m going to destroy them.” The man said.

“Grandfather Moon we didn’t call you here to destroy them but instead to ask you something.” Luna said.

“Sure, anything you want I will try my best to get.” His attitude did a 180 when talking to Luna.

‘Is all grandfathers in this world like this’ I thought as my grandfather acted the same way before he died.

“Mother said that you were part of a sect and that it one of the best places to train.” Luna asks and he nodded his head.

“You two want to join. It can be done since you meet the standard but what about him. They require you to be below twelve but since you’re in the xiantian realm you must surpass it right.” He said looking at me causing me to give an empty laugh.

“I will be turning nine in few months so I should qualify right.” After I said this he just stared at me while trying to determine if I’m lying or not.

“Give me your hand.” He said and took my hand and sent a strand of Qi into me.

“Hmm… Interesting.” He said before he let go of my hand.

“Well I can take you but you will need to pass the admission test to enter as I don’t want rumor saying you relied on me to enter.” He said causing my impression to improve him as he wants to spoiler Luna but also have her not to rely on him.

After he said that Luna and I began to float as he picks us up and flew through the sky. As we flew through the air I manage to see many villages and town but something besides the mountain manage to grab my eye.

“What that.” I said point towards it.

“Oh, you manage to see that, well it an ancient tomb of a sword expert.” Old Moon said and he started heading in toward it.

“Why are we heading toward it?” Luna asks since they suddenly change directions.

“Since you use the sword I figured you might gain some insight into the way of the sword.” He said with a smile laugh.

“Do you have any idea who the tomb belongs to.” I asked seeing some ancient array show around the entrance. The entrance looks to be made of Qi metal which is extremely rare on the mortal planes. There are statues beside the entrance of a woman doing different poses.

“It is said it belongs to ‘Sword Empress’ and that only females have the right to the inherit. There is rumor saying that she came down from the immortal world and left this here for her clan descendants. But since there no who can verify this there are only rumors about it.” Old Moon said.

“Do you have any idea what these poses mean.” I ask since they look to have a use.

“Over the year no one managed to figure them out so most just ignore them anymore.” He said with a slight sigh.

‘Hmm, they looked familiar in the deity memories but what.’ I thought and then it hit me.

“It a sword dance!” I said causing them both to look at me in confusion.

“In the ancient past there way, a fighting style known as ‘Sword Dance’ which was normally used by women who used the sword which also allowed them to purify their energy. But over time it died out as most cultivation techniques improved which sped up their progress so less chose to learn it.” I said causing them to nod even if they didn’t understand.

“This would be very good for Luna to learn as the purer the energy better her foundation when she steps into the xiantian realm.” I said causing Old Moon to think.

“What does purer energy have to do with progress.” He asks since he read recorded mention these before but he beginning to feel I’m more than meets the eye.

“The whole goal of cultivation is to become closer to the gods and in order to do that we repletely purify our bodies with the energy we take in from the surrounding. The energy happens to have impurity which builds up over time causing bottleneck but most high-end techniques purify most of these impurities allowing one to progress faster. Since Luna currently using a high-end technique she doesn’t have this problem yet but once she starts using resources.” I take a breath allow Old Moon to realize how important it can be.

“So, you're saying if she learns this it will help her progress down cultivation further and with more ease.” He said looking a little jealous of her as he must be feeling it too late to change.

“Of course, there also one that more suitable for males but I can’t tell you as I don’t know it.” I said causing him brighten up.

“Then it decided we will live around here until she learns it.” Old Moon said causing Luna to look strangely at me.
