Sword Ancestor: The Number One Female Sword Cultivator in the Cultivation World

“Strong female lead + no romance + a touch of ensemble cast + not a wish-fulfillment story + nontraditional cultivation system”

The Divine Way is elusive, the Sword Way boundless. There are many paths in this world, and everyone has a way of cultivating that is their own.

In her previous life, she was the foremost priestess of her age, in charge of the fate of humankind, yet she was betrayed and killed by those dearest to her.

A thousand years later, Tantai Qingyao is reborn from a mass of resentful energy as an oddity with two souls, one good and one evil. By then, her country has fallen, her people have been reduced to outcasts, and spiritfolk from foreign lands rule the Ten Domains of the mortal world.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. The passionate young people are sparks heralding a new dawn. Driven by their devotion to cultivation, they rise up against the rule of the Divine Temple.

Tantai Qingyao takes up the ancient Sword Way once more and ascends to the pinnacle of cultivation. One sword is for protection, the other for freedom. In this world where spirit cultivators are everywhere, a broken sword becomes the greatest nightmare of the Divine Temple’s Ten Elders. One day, when she roams the world unchecked, she will lead her people in building a true paradise of their own.
