The Black Lotus Heroine Only Wants to Ascend

If one day you discovered that the world you lived in was just a book, and that in the end you wouldn't ascend to immortality, but would instead have your spiritual root dug out, lose all your cultivation, and die, what would you do? Ru Xiyao: Beat the fool who dug out my spiritual root to death! Book Spirit: That fool... is your master. Ru Xiyao: Oh. Then I'll go into secluded cultivation. Either I'll outlast him, or I'll beat him to death. Book Spirit: ...Ambitious and full of ideals. Young people who can adapt to any situation have a bright future! [Cultivation stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Mahayana, Tribulation Transcendence. Each stage is further divided into four levels: early, middle, late, and peak.]
