[Traditional Cultivation] [Female-Led] [No CP] [Ensemble Cast] [No Female Rivalry] [All-Female Main Cast]
Others cultivated by following the paths their predecessors had trodden, taking one step and bowing with every stride.
Jiang Che didn't bow.
She overturned the rigid rules of every sect along the way, forging a completely new path with her own two feet and becoming the founding ancestor of all immortals.
Everyone in the cultivation world talked about "guiding all living beings to enlightenment."
But those who set their sights on her, hoping to enlighten and control her, all died by her sword.
Her path had never needed anyone else to guide her.
"My sword, Jiang Che's, first guides me, then guides others."
In the late Qi Refining stage, she ascended the Immortal Ladder with a water spirit root, and the spirit-testing stele erupted with an unprecedented spectacle.
On the day she reached Foundation Establishment, a bolt of lightning struck her, and she remembered that she was living inside a book.
The Jiang Che in the book was merely a bit-part character who died in the first chapter.
"What a shame," she said, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. "In this life, I am the first chapter, and the final one!"
"You ask my name? Jiang Che. The waters of the rivers and lakes are clear enough to reflect the moon, yet deep enough to overturn a boat."
