1. Wedge: In Canglang Pass in the north, the heroine Su Wuxue is a sword cultivator for the border guards. Because she comes from a poor family and is a woman, her merits are withheld despite her repeated military exploits. She witnesses her colleagues die in battle due to lack of resources. She is determined to enter the court to change the rule of "emphasis on birth over performance" in the world of immortal cultivation.
2. Opportunity: The remnants of the Demon King raided the pass. Su Wuxue used his own "Snow-Splitting Sword Technique" to kill the enemy leader and rescued the patrolling Jindan monk Lin Yanqiu. Lin Yanqiu took a fancy to his sword skills and character and recommended him to participate in the "Qingyun Official Selection Examination".
