Starforged Chronicles: A Mortal's Path to Immortality

She was an orphaned servant girl abandoned by the immortal sects. With a damaged spiritual root and mediocre talent, she clutched a broken jade slip she'd found amid the dust where everyone looked down on her. Hidden inside was the “Spirit-Devouring Forbidden Art,” outlawed by the immortal sects.

To survive, she chewed grass and drank from poisoned springs. She secretly learned techniques in demon-beast lairs and nourished her spiritual root with blood. To protect her only friend, she once snapped a Golden Core cultivator's sword with her bare hands. Her cultivation was crippled, and she was thrown into the Abyss of Buried Immortals, but at its bottom she devoured demon bones and reforged dual demon-immortal meridians.

When the entire cultivation world denounced her as a “forbidden-art demoness” and sought to destroy her, she stood atop a mountain of corpses, treading underfoot the very immortal sects that had once tormented her. “I never wanted to become an immortal. I want to decide the rules of this world myself.”

The first broken jade slip still hung at her waist. But now, she had rewritten the forbidden art inscribed on it, adding a final line: “Even mortal bones can be tempered into stars; women can open a path to ten thousand immortals.”
