I Became the Sect's Top Disciple by Outworking Everyone

On the very first day He Yunshu joined Xianqing Peak, she was judged to have:

A five-element mixed spiritual root, with ordinary talent.

She didn’t care in the slightest.

Because, to her, there was no such thing as “good enough” when it came to cultivation.

Her swordsmanship was off by a fraction? Not good enough.

A talisman came out a little crooked? Draw it again.

Her spiritual energy circulated a moment too slowly? She had to figure out why.

When her senior sister made a breakthrough, she quietly made one of her own.

When her senior brother praised her swordsmanship, she went back and practiced another three hundred times.

Everyone thought this junior sister was simply too disciplined.

That is, until she accidentally took down her opponent in an instant at the sect tournament.

When she entered a secret realm, one casual sword strike shattered its wards.

At the talisman arts competition, the talismans she drew left the elders speechless.

Her master, Wu Cen, only liked looking at pretty disciples and seemed lazy most of the time. But no one knew just how powerful she really was.

And no one knew that seemingly indifferent Xianqing Peak was hiding a whole group of monsters.

Then Zhenqing Peak gradually bared its fangs.

Missing disciples, bizarre cultivation techniques, and bloody cases swept under the rug...

Wu Zhao shed his mask of benevolence.

And behind him lurked an even more terrifying presence: the Lord of the Void Abyss.

As well as the ultimate being who looked down upon all living things: the Netherfall Primordial Venerable.

When the entire cultivation world fell into crisis, He Yunshu simply raised her sword.

“Now that this has happened, let’s see it through.”

Only later did everyone finally understand:

This five-element mixed-root cultivator had worked herself into someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.

And she was still wondering:

“Could I have made that sword strike even better today?”

Everyone: “...”

She’s already the best in the world. Why is she still pushing herself so hard?
