On the vast and boundless world of cultivation, the Land of Nine Nether is considered forbidden ground. Shrouded in mist and steeped in dread, it is rife with unknown dangers and mysterious powers. Legend has it that a divine seal lies hidden in the depths of the Nine Nether. Whoever possesses it can control life and death and reshape the world. Countless powerful cultivators have risked their lives in search of it, but none have ever returned.
The story’s heroine, Su Yao, was once an ordinary outer sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Born into an unremarkable family, she has an extremely poor spiritual root. In a cultivation world where spiritual power reigns supreme, she is little more than a “good-for-nothing” whom anyone can bully. Her daily life consists of heavy menial labor, enduring the scorn and mockery of her fellow disciples. She receives pitifully few cultivation resources, and her progress is slow, as if she is destined to live an unremarkable life.
By chance, while carrying out a sect mission, Su Yao stumbles into a mysterious ancient cave. The cave is cold and gloomy, filled with an eerie aura. Just as she is overcome with fear and tries to escape, she notices an unusual light flickering faintly on the cave wall. Driven by stubbornness and curiosity, Su Yao cautiously approaches and accidentally triggers a mechanism. A force from the Nine Nether surges out, carrying a divine seal glowing with a ghostly light, and plunges straight into her body.
