An ordinary village was wiped out overnight. Su Qinghan, an orphan, narrowly escaped death and was taken in alongside Jiang Che, a boy from her village, by Ling Canglan, the head of Qingya Peak at the Lingxiao Sect and the leader of the righteous path.
Her talent was mediocre and her nature dull. She was as insignificant as dust among the immortal sects, with only her gentle senior sister Yun Ruoxue often looking after her. By chance, she found an unremarkable black rod in the back hills, and from then on, her path of cultivation quietly took a strange turn.
During the sect's tournament, she unexpectedly revealed a bizarre power, drawing suspicion and scrutiny. It also led her master, Ling Canglan, to see through the deeply buried secret within her. This seemingly ordinary black rod was actually closely connected to the tragedy that had destroyed her village.
Beneath the tranquil years in the immortal sects, the demonic path rose again, and trouble began to brew. Su Qinghan was forced to accompany her master down the mountain, facing the blood feud from years ago and the perilous road ahead.
Her power is sinister, and her origins are a mystery.
The righteous path, the demonic path, trust, suspicion, hatred, protection...
With a dangerous object in her hand and light in her heart, she will walk her own arduous path through a chaotic age and the immortal sects, guided by her simple and earnest beginnings.
