[No Romance, Powerful Female Lead | Anti-Cliche Cultivation | Supply Cut from the Start]
The sect crippled Yan Fuguang's cultivation.
That very day, all thirty-seven thousand Spirit-Gathering Arrays across the Nine Provinces went dark.
She had opened a spiritual vein to save an entire city of mortals, and for that, they shattered her dantian and cut off her path to immortality.
Everyone was waiting for her to kneel and apologize.
They never expected the spiritual energy to be the first to refuse.
It wouldn't enter her dantian or acknowledge her as its master.
It asked only one thing: "Shall we go?"
She said yes, and the spiritual vein that had protected the sect for three hundred years left with her in full view of everyone.
The Sect Leader drew his sword to seize her, but first fell a cultivation realm, and his own sword cleaved the Sect Leader's throne in two.
The ancestor tried to force the mortals to kneel, but the moment he emerged from seclusion, he dropped three realms.
Meanwhile, a servant girl who'd spent her whole life being told she had "no fate with immortality" borrowed spiritual energy for just ten breaths and saved someone right in front of everyone.
Yan Fuguang did not regain her cultivation.
Nor did she plan to go back.
They cut off her path to immortality.
She turned around and opened a door for all those who'd been judged incapable of cultivating for their entire lives.
