Kunlun, at the foot of Jade Void Peak.
A blue python over thirty feet long and as thick as a water barrel coiled on the snowy ground, encircling a perfect circle. Inside the circle sat a woman, her eyes closed as she concentrated, her figure faintly visible like she was one with nature.
The powerful aura that exuded from the python was enough to deter any living creature near Jade Void Peak, and with the additional protection of a sealing barrier, even though the wind howled and snow fell heavily outside, here it was as serene as a secluded valley.
As mentioned before, there were two paths to ascend to a Human Immortal: one was through seclusion, accumulating slowly until success was naturally achieved. The other was to break through in the midst of battle.
Xiaojin was a combination of both, first battling her sister for several months, breaking through her inner demons, and transforming her accumulation into true comprehension, arriving at the threshold of a breakthrough.
