My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

As a storm brewed in the skies above, crackling with thunder and laced with streaks of violet lightning, Long Liu sat in quiet reflection. Her mind wandered, retracing the long and winding path that had brought her to this very moment.

She had once been a mere girl from a nameless village nestled in the wilderness, thousands of kilometers away from the Dao Seeking School. Born to a family of farmers, her destiny had been one of obscurity—fated to live and die as a mortal. But fate, ever cruel and unpredictable, tore her world apart.

Bandits descended upon her village like a plague. In a single night, a community of ten thousand was reduced to smoldering ashes. Men were slaughtered, women raped, and every home consumed by flame. She was among the few who escaped the carnage, fleeing into the dark forest with only desperation as her guide.

She would have perished there, at the fangs of a wild beast—if not for the arrival of a cultivator. A wolf had found her first, its eyes gleaming with hunger, but before it could strike, a sword flashed. The beast fell dead, and she was saved.

The man who stood between her and death was a Golden Core Formation cultivator named Yuan Wen, a disciple of the Celestial Flame Sect, a small sect that served as and vassal to the Dao Seeking School. He had only stopped to rest in the region, but that moment changed the course of her life.

Watching him wield power that could split stone and slay beasts with a wave of his hand, Long Liu had understood one thing: this was the kind of strength she needed; power that could bend fate itself.

"Senior Brother Yuan… thank you for everything," she whispered inwardly, her heart swelling with gratitude and sorrow. Yuan Wen, the one who had guided her through her first steps into cultivation, had long since passed away.

Her talent had been ordinary, nothing remarkable. Within the Celestial Flame Sect, her average aptitude was considered good enough.

At the age of twenty-five, which could be considered late, she stepped onto the cultivation path.

At the age of forty, she stepped into the Foundation Estabelishment realm. After stepping into the Foundation Estabelishment realm, she located the bandits responsible for the destruction of her village and killed all of them.

She wasted five years locating all the women from her village who were sold.

At the age of one hundred, she stepped into the Golden Core Formation realm. Her once developed and old body regressed in age, turning her back to her child form. At that moment, her bloodline awakened, and the chains of her average talent broke.

At the age of one hundred and twenty years, she stepped into the Nascent Soul realm. Her sect declared her an elder.

At the age of two hundred years, she stepped into the Spirit Severing realm. If she wished, she could be the sect leader of the Celestial Flame Sect, but Long Liu wanted more. She knew that if she stayed, she would hardly continue to improve.

She went to the Dao Seeking School and was accepted as a disciple.

At the age of six hundred years, she stepped into the Dao Seeking realm and consolidated her Dao. It was also at the same time that the Celestial Flame Sect was decimated by another sect.

Her Senior Brother Yuan, who was the sect leader at the time, had provoked a son of an elder from the Seven Heavens Sect. At that time, the Dao Seeking School wasn't one of the three strongest sects on the Black Turtle Continent.

Compared to the Seven Heavens Sect, the Celestial Flame Sect was too weak. If Long Liu had known at that time, she could have helped them, but she was in secluded cultivation, trying to break through. She only knew about their destruction weeks later.

And the reason for her sect's destruction? The son of the said elder from the Seven Heavens Sect wanted to make Yuan Wen's daughter his concubine against her will. Her father fought against it, and the Celestial Flame Sect was dragged into the conflict.

For such a stupid reason, everyone Long Liu loved died.

For the first seven days, she mourned in tears.

The Seven Heavens Sect wasn't any weaker than the Dao Seeking School at that time. The Seven Heavens Sect agreed to pay a huge amount of cultivation resources so the conflict wouldn't escalate into a war between the two sects.

Long Liu continued to cultivate. The fury in her heart never diminished. Her Dao would never allow her to forget what the Seven Heavens Sect had done to her.

At the age of one thousand years, she broke through to the Return To Void realm. At that moment, she was already one of the strongest cultivators in the Dao Seeking School. A genius without preceding in the sect's story.

But that was far from enough for her.

At the age of two thousand years, she broke through to the Transcending Tribulation realm and waged war. She tortured all those responsible for destroying the Celestial Flame Sect and burned the Sevens Heavens Sect to the ground.

At that time, battles and destruction between sects were common. Long Liu was not satisfied. She wanted to make sure that what happened to her would never happen again.

For a hundred years, she battled and conquered. The Dao Seeking School turned into one of the three hegemonic powers in the Black Turtle Sect. The older generation was strictly prohibited from killing the old generation, and all fights for resources had to pass through the Dao Seeking School's approval.

At the age of five thousand, Long Liu ascended to the peak of the Transcending Tribulation realm. She wasn't merely strong; she stood at the summit of that realm, unmatched by any of her peers. Across all of Red Pole, no one had reached such heights at so young an age. She was both a legend in power and a record-breaker in talent.
