Failed Ascension? The Immortal Venerable Reaps Merit by Guiding Souls and Punishing Scoundrels

[No CP / Strong Female Lead / Episodic Stories / Judgment by Karma / Satisfying Read]

On the day of her ascension, Immortal Venerable Shu Luo had her immortal bones shattered by the ninth heavenly tribulation, leaving her mortal.

A century of arduous cultivation brought no results. People laughed at her, saying her path to immortality was over and she was destined to die alone in the mountains.

Then, one night, the wails of countless unjustly murdered souls pierced the barrier. Shu Luo finally understood: spiritual energy was drying up, and only merit could prove the Great Dao!

From then on, the world gained a living King of Hell who dealt with "injustices."

She cultivates no compassion, only karmic justice. She talks of no forgiveness, only retribution!

What about a beast of a father who murdered his own daughter?

Shu Luo sends the dead to claim his life, haunting him night after night until he goes mad with remorse!

What about vicious relatives scheming to seize an inheritance?

With a mere flick of her hand, she sends them to prison for life, where they beg for death!

If the Heavens are unjust, then I will be the judge!

Every wronged soul she helps pass on becomes a brick in the foundation of her immortal cultivation.

Every crime she settles, every thread of merit and every inch of immortal root, becomes a step on her path back to the Celestial Court.

"Don't lament that life won't go your way. Just wait and see who reaches the heavens today!"

This is the story of a top-tier powerhouse cultivating anew, sending evil people to their deaths as she fights her way back to the Ninth Heaven.
