Ashen Immortal Path: No Return from the Ninth Step

A deep bond between master and disciple ends in calamity. She gouges out her heart and offers it in sacrifice, all to help him attain his emotionless Great Dao. Badly wounded, A Wu is cast down the heavenly steps, plummeting into either the perilous mortal realm or the desolate lands overrun by demons. Her body is shattered, her spiritual roots gone, and she is reduced to the lowest of the low. She will endure the world's cruelty and kindness, betrayal, torment, and despair, struggling to survive in the mud as the pride she once held as an Immortal Venerable's disciple is utterly crushed.
