The Beginning of All Things: The Tale of Sheng Xi, also known as From Five-Year-Old Beggar to Ruler of All Things
[Cultivation fantasy, not romance] [Female lead, no romance] [The strongest female lead later on] [Coming-of-age] [Small ensemble cast] [Mythology returns] [No competition between women]
A roadside beggar finds a master and mentor.
At five, she reaches Qi Refining and stands out!
At six, she reaches Foundation Establishment, a heavenly prodigy!
At seven, she reaches Golden Core, a peerless genius!
At nine, she reaches Nascent Soul, utterly terrifying!
Five-year-old Sheng Xi loses her memory and ends up begging on the streets. Mingyue takes her back to Mingyue Sect, where she becomes the youngest junior sister on Mingyue Peak. Her time at Mingyue Sect is her warmest and most precious memory.
She begins to distinguish herself, instantly drawing in spiritual energy and reaching the third level of Qi Refining overnight. Her mentor and senior uncles call her a genius alchemist. Other people rely on treasures and pills to cultivate, but she only has to lie down, stand, or sit for spiritual energy to transform into spiritual power on its own.
At the Golden Core stage, she awakens a divine ability. At the Nascent Soul stage, she regains her memories from before the age of five. It turns out she's a child of the divine clan. Her mother's clan, the Divine Dragons, and her father's clan, the Celestial Foxes, have both been suppressed, and the divine bloodline is dying out. An even greater conspiracy surrounding cultivation begins to surface…
Once a beggar with no memories, now her divine soul has returned.
With a single turn, she reverses the world and reshapes heaven and earth.
She has slept for hundreds of millions of years, and all things beg her to awaken…
A hundred lifetimes of ties, a thousand faces, the spirits of all things: they are all me.
My name is Sheng Xi!
