[Strong female lead + no romance + not stupid]
Beneath the Immortal Realm, the world is divided into fourteen provinces:
Yunming of Flame, Qinghan, Snow, Forest, Sea, Dragon, Spirit, Sword, Void, and Abyss.
Among them live billions of beings. Some are content to remain insignificant, no different from specks of dust; others chase the sun and race the wind, striving to join the ranks of the celestial immortals.
She rises from the dust and sets foot on the path to immortality.
“My name is Lin Dengxiao. I shall ascend to the ninth heaven, break through the firmament, and tread the clouds!”
Three thousand great paths unfold before her:
The Path of All Living Beings, devoted to saving the world; the Path of Utmost Passion, which abandons countless distractions to attain immortality; the Asura Path, born for battle and destined to fight to the death...
But when she finally reaches the Ninth Heaven, she glimpses a fragment of the truth about the immortals.
Immortals fill the sky, their spiritual might vast and mighty. A single glance surges across the river of time, and a flick of the fingers can plunge countless stars into silence. Yet they are no more than slaves to fate.
“The path to immortality is mistaken. All of us must ascend to become gods.”
