This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

In the third year of the Jin Chan era, at the start of spring, on the first day of the lunar month.

I finally realized what was amiss.

My master was actually making arrangements for his affairs after death.

For that grand witchcraft conference, my master had daringly ingested the Hundred Flowers Viper Pill, a poison difficult for even a Nascent Soul Cultivator to withstand.

Although my master managed to refine the poison into Spiritual Power through the Disastrous Poison Scripture, the residual toxin from the Hundred Flowers Viper Pill eventually brought the accumulated poison within his body to a critical point, erupting on this day after several years.

I wanted to take my master to Yun Meng.

Due to Yun Meng's special abilities, I feared others harboring malice toward Yun Meng, and thus have carefully guarded the secret of Yun Meng all these years.

But now, I can't manage so much anymore.

Only Yun Meng can save my master now.

My master stopped me, as it turned out, after discovering I had been safely cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture, he had been investigating privately and thus also uncovered Yun Meng's secret.

However, he was different from me,

He had cultivated the Disastrous Poison Scripture from the Qi Refinement stage to Nascent Soul, with poisons in his body accumulated over a long time, deeply embedded in his organs and even his Nascent Soul, beyond any hope of cure.

I wept deeply.

My master wiped away my tears, told me he hoped I could continue the aspiration he had not fulfilled, to lead our people out of the Three Thousand Great Mountains.

I promised, I promised, I will surely lead our people out of the Three Thousand Great Mountains!

If only... Master, if only you could see this for yourself, how wonderful that would be...

In the third year of the Jin Chan era, at the start of spring, on the second day of the lunar month.

After my master passed, as his most outstanding disciple and currently the strongest cultivator of the Spirit Snake Sect, I naturally assumed leadership of the Spirit Snake Sect.

In the fourth year of the Jin Chan era, at the start of spring, on the first day of the lunar month, since I had not yet advanced to Nascent Soul, the Spirit Snake Sect became the only one among the five sects without a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The other four sects began to ostracize us openly and covertly, and the Great Elder even started to exploit the Spirit Snake Sect.

This won't do, I must break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

In the fourth year of the Jin Chan era, at the start of spring, on the first day of the lunar month.

Forming a Nascent Soul is no easy task, but I no longer have much time.

The oppression and exclusion from the other four sects are getting worse, and the situation for the Spirit Snake Sect is deteriorating rapidly.

Among the possessions my master left behind were some of the Hundred Flowers Viper Pills he did not consume. I decided to use the potent toxin of the Hundred Flowers Viper Pill to make a breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

I must succeed, right, Master?

In the fourth year of the Jin Chan era, at the start of spring, on the third day of the lunar month.

I returned to Yunmeng Mountain and, beside Yun Meng, I ingested the Hundred Flowers Viper Pill.

In the fourth year of the Jin Chan era, at the end of spring, on the sixth day of the lunar month.

With Yun Meng's help, I succeeded.

But to expel the toxin from my body, Yun Meng too suffered damage to her essence. After looking after her for a long time and feeding her many pills, she finally recovered.

I must stop cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture now.

This time, Yun Meng's essence was compromised; next time the toxins erupt, if Yun Meng were to save me, she might have to exhaust her own life.

In the fourth year of the Jin Chan era, at the end of spring, on the seventh day of the lunar month.

After I became a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the other four sects finally started to restrain themselves.

But do they really think I would just forget what they have done?

I have not forgotten what they did to our Spirit Snake Sect and to my master.

One day, I will make them pay twice over!

They could never imagine how long a woman can hold a grudge.

...

In the thirty-fourth year of the Jin Chan era, in mid-spring, on the seventh day of the half-moon.

These thirty years, I have been exceedingly busy.

I need to start preparing for the witchcraft conference sixteen years from now.

The task that my master did not accomplish will now be mine to complete.

The Great Witch Doctors of the other four sects have been Nascent Soul Cultivators for many years, and with only a little over thirty years since my Nascent Soul advancement, it would be difficult for me to defeat them without some trump cards.

The Golden Thread Snake, the supreme poison of the Spirit Snake Sect!

That's the only solution I can think of as of now.

Besides, because I have been so busy, it has been a long time since I last visited Yun Meng. I'll go see her tomorrow.

In the thirty-fourth year of the Jin Chan era, in mid-spring, on the eighth day of the half-moon, I went to Yunmeng Mountain to see Yun Meng. Knowing I had given up cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture, she was very happy but also a bit sad.

She seems to think that I don't want to come see her anymore because I no longer cultivate the Disastrous Poison Scripture and don't need her help in expelling toxins.

Silly girl, how could that be possible?

After my father and master left, you're all I have left...

In the forty-ninth year of the Jin Chan era, in mid-spring, on the first day of the cycle.

I succeeded, I finally did it, I actually nurtured a Spirit Snake with a Metal vein!

......

Spirit Snake year one, early spring, the new moon.

Master, if you're seeing this from the heavens, you must be very pleased.

Spirit Snake year eleven, early spring, the new moon.

After becoming the Great Elder of the Five Sect Alliance, the resources at my disposal have grown.

Thus, even though I'm no longer practicing the Disastrous Poison Scripture, my Cultivation is still steadily improving.

.....

Spirit Snake year forty-nine, early spring, the new moon.

The Witchcraft Convention that occurs once every fifty years is starting in one more year.

I know that the Great Witch Doctors of the other four sects have been preparing for this Convention for a long time, intent on wresting the position of Great Elder from me.

But they are destined to be disappointed.

Spirit Snake year fifty-one, early spring, the new moon.

For the next fifty years, I will remain the Great Elder.

It's time to settle the two debts: their joint betrayal of Master back then and the oppression of our Spirit Snake sect after Master's death.

.....

.....

Spirit Snake year eighty-nine, early spring, the new moon.

It's over, all the vengeance is over.

In these forty years, I've done many bloody deeds, but there's not a single hint of regret in my heart.

Because this was the price they had to pay.

After everything ended, I returned to Yunmeng Mountain to see Yun Meng once more.

I don't know why, but this time, I felt as if there was a fissure between me and Yun Meng, and I didn't know how to mend it.

Perhaps... I know what to do, but I'm just not willing to do it.

I just realized that the little girl of the past has become the Golden Snake Granny who the Five Sect Wizards dread even at the mention of.

And Yun Meng, too, has unknowingly transformed and grown a lot.

Spirit Snake year one hundred and one, early spring, the new moon.

It seems like a cycle of destiny, other sect Wizards, just like they did against Master back then, joined forces against me in the Witchcraft Convention, trying to topple me from the Great Elder's seat.

Unfortunately for them, they failed this time.

Becoming the most powerful Wizard in the Spirit Snake sect's history, I've finally achieved the expectation I set for myself long ago.

Next, I'll spend the rest of my life fulfilling the promise I made to Master.

Leading our people out of the Three Thousand Great Mountains!

A grand task, I entrust my life, starting with the night, and in death... it has no end.

Spirit Snake year one hundred thirty-seven, late spring, the new moon.

One hundred and thirty-seven years after advancing to Nascent Soul, after spending countless Cultivation resources that caused complaints among the Five Sect Wizards, I finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

But it's still not enough.

I must become a Void Refining Cultivator to have our people stand firm in the outside world.

Spirit Snake year one hundred thirty-eight, early summer, the new moon.

My Cultivation has once again hit a bottleneck, impossible to make any progress.

There must be a solution, I won't give up.

Spirit Snake year one hundred forty-two, mid-summer, the first day of the month.

I've tried, I've tried all the methods I could, but none worked.

But that's to be expected, if Cultivation were that easy, why would our line of Wizards not have produced a Void Refining Cultivator for so many years?

To break through to Void Refining, the only current option is to once again practice the Disastrous Poison Scripture.

But the accumulation of poison from breaking through to Void Refining is definitely something I can't bear.

Unless I let Yun Meng help me, but that would take her life, how could she possibly be willing?

And how... could I bear to let it happen?

Spirit Snake year one hundred forty-two, mid-summer, the third day of the month.

Is this possibly the only option under the current circumstances?

If I don't break through to Void Refining, I can't fulfill Master's dying wish.

But to break through to Void Refining, I would need to take Yun Meng's life.

What should I... choose?
