[Synopsis]
Others cultivate immortality: defy fate, survive tribulations and ascend, uphold justice across the Three Realms.
Lingxi cultivates immortality: eat! Cause trouble! Talk back! Swipe the villains' storage bags! Her motto is, I have no morals, so no one can guilt-trip me. I'll get revenge on the spot, and run if I can't win!
She thought she could spend her whole life eating and lazing around in the Qingyuan Sect. Then she absentmindedly used an ancient sword manual as a seat cushion and got on the bad side of Xie Xuan, the amnesiac ruler of the Immortal Realm.
Xie Xuan: I've lived for tens of thousands of years and never met a girl this outrageous!
Lingxi: Oh? Well, now you have. Give me half your pastries, or I'll use your sword manual as a cushion again.
From then on, the Immortal Realm's big shot spent his days less on comprehending the sword and cultivating, and more on cleaning up after the troublemaker, while spoiling her rotten in the process.
She trounced her opponents at the Five Sects Tournament, stripped secret realms of their treasures, founded her own sect and did whatever she pleased. In the end, she even led a band of rebellious troublemakers back to the Upper Realm and tore down the traitors' hideout.
Lingxi: I thought we agreed to take it easy while cultivating immortality. How did I accidentally become the goddess of the Three Realms?
Xie Xuan: It's fine. The Three Realms are yours, and so are you.
