Ashen Wasteland 01: A Grisly Scene

[Transmigration and Rebirth] "The Sword Cultivator Junior Sister in

Another World"

by Dahei Aichi Yu [Complete + Extras]

Synopsis:

The Ye Family's precious daughter returned to the continent after more than ten years missing. Given the family's fierce protectiveness and habit of spoiling its children—not to mention the many influential figures watching the family's every move—everyone assumed she would become a little princess who knew neither heaven's height nor earth's depth.

Already more than ten years behind other children, the little princess might be ruined for life.

Ye Chuqi, expressionless: "Whether I'm a little princess or not, you'll know after a fight."

—Could transmigration really come with a detour?

Ye Chuqi proved that it could!

She had traveled from modern society to a world of cultivation and stumbled her way into becoming the Sword Sect's junior sister on Lush Mountain. Then an accident sent her into yet another world.

So she had only gone to the cultivation world to study abroad?

Ye Chuqi looked around at a world of swords and magic, where elements flew everywhere, then down at her empty hands. She asked the question that came from her soul:

—Where's my sword?

This was a brand-new world with a brand-new system of power. Magic and swordsmanship struck fresh sparks against each other. Hoisting her newly acquired magic sword, Ye Chuqi's eyes shone. Choices were for children: she wanted both magic and swords!

She would defeat swordsmanship with swordsmanship, and magic with magic.

She would bring the Sword Dao to life!

She would unleash Sword Intent!

She would forge an entirely new system of swordsmanship!

Taking things as they came, Ye Chuqi set off on a new journey. She cut through thorns and brambles along the way and eventually became a legend told across the world!

Reading guide:

1. The heroine was a slightly clueless sword cultivator with astonishing magical talent.

2. The male lead was not the eldest senior brother...

Chapter 1: Ashen Wasteland 01 — A Grisly Scene

Ye Chuqi had thought she would spend her whole life as the junior sister on Lush Mountain. After all, more than ten years had been enough to turn her from a modern-day homebody who could barely lift a thing and fumbled even at games into a bona fide sword cultivator who could pull up mountains and hack monsters apart.

At first, she had not thought she would last. But she had endured both the dull cultivation and the body tempering that put her through hell. At long last, she had become a proud Foundation Establishment cultivator and could finally zip through the sky on her sword. Then she transmigrated again.

It had been an ordinary training trip to a Secret Realm—her first, in fact. Somehow, she had run into Demonic Cultivators who chased and cornered her, giving her a taste of the treatment reserved for protagonists. Then she had slipped into a damaged Formation, and after space tore open, she had wound up somewhere else in a daze.

Don't ask how she knew she had transmigrated again. Apart from a few scattered, charred dead trees, this barren land had almost no plants or animals, but she could still occasionally sense strange creatures wandering through the range of her spiritual perception.

They looked nothing like any creatures she knew. Even the power she sensed in the air belonged to an entirely different system.

Apparently, transmigration was something a person could get better at with practice.

Ye Chuqi looked at the marks she had scratched into the stone wall. She had been here for over a month. With her injuries, she had not dared move rashly and could only stay hidden here to recover. In this place so short on resources, she had barely managed to stabilize her condition.

And her greatest find this month was probably the man who was even more badly injured than she was.

She had been startled out of meditation by the earthshaking sounds of a battle in the distance. Inexperienced though she was, the clash had shocked her; it sounded like a group of mighty experts brawling. Worse, the oppressive force that had struck her head-on had nearly undone all the progress she had made with her injuries.

Still, she could not hold back her curiosity. Once the noise died away, she steeled herself and went to take a look. There was no fight left to see, only a ravaged battlefield strewn with severed limbs. It was a grisly scene.

More terrifying still was the enormous beast, beyond anything she had imagined. Its body resembled that of a giant

dragon,

yet it lay stiff at the bottom of a vast crater like a dead snake, its black hide covered in multicolored wounds.

The oppressive force that made Ye Chuqi so uncomfortable came from the beast's remains. Even in death, it did not seem to have diminished in the slightest.

The man lying motionless on the ground not far from the cave was the one Ye Chuqi had brought back from the bottom of that crater. She had only meant to examine the beast's remains. They were resources that had practically fallen from the sky, and with her Portable Space refusing to open and the supplies in her Storage Bag almost exhausted, finding a way to survive came first.

Even though cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm could go without food, there was no spiritual energy in the air here for her to replenish herself with. She could not manage it. Besides, she liked eating. In all her years of cultivation, she had never missed her three meals a day.

The stranger was gravely injured too. When she had found him at the bottom of the crater, he had barely had a breath left. If she had not had a Pill she had always been reluctant to use, he probably could not have been saved.

As for that Pill, she had only remembered how precious it was after using it. Since she had already saved him, she might as well see it through. Once he recovered, they could discuss what he owed her for it. It wasn't as if she could sell him off... right?
