Luo Xingchen traversed into a strange world and awakened a system, starting out with the ability: "Unless I become an immortal, I will never die." The ancient forbidden lands, feared by all as demonic realms, were places he entered and exited as casually as returning home. He drank True Spirit Jade Liquid—so deadly that a drop would obliterate a Soul Transformation cultivator—as if it were mere water. He popped Supreme Immortal Pills—which would cause a Body Fusion master to explode after a single taste—like candy. The God-Devouring Flame Essence, fatal to Dao-seeking experts with just a touch, he used as bathwater. Ten thousand years later. Luo Xingchen: "Failed my nine hundred and ninety-ninth tribulation again. Wonderful." Cultivators of the world: "Luo Xingchen, please, could you be a little more human? Hurry up and ascend!

Even as she fled, the girl in white glanced over her shoulder at her pursuers. Realizing they were gaining on her, she seemed to make a decision. She tipped her head back, and somehow the remainder of the chicken drumstick disappeared into her mouth. Two breaths later, she spat out only the bone, not a scrap of meat left.
With the bone discarded, her speed suddenly surged, and in an instant, she widened the gap between herself and her pursuers. In the blink of an eye, she vanished from their sight entirely.
The pursuers were dumbfounded.
"Damn it! She's only at the third level of Qi Refinement, and we've been chasing her for so long—how can she suddenly speed up? Isn't she running out of spiritual energy?"
"I refuse to believe someone at the third level of Qi Re
