[No-CP female-led cultivation + leveling up and adventures + ensemble cast + seeking the Dao and ascending to immortality, drawing a blade to challenge the heavens]
"Your energy hasn't even arrived yet. Why are you in such a hurry to draw your blade?"
The old apothecary looked at the poison sacs from demon beasts that Shen Zhaoye brought him, always laughing that she had plenty of strength but no brains.
That is, until the day a violent beast tide engulfed Haicheng. As everyone fled, she weaved between the demon beasts' joints with a single dull blade, carving out a bloody path by sheer force!
Shen Zhaoye wiped the blood from her face. "Sorry, I don't just have brains. I have eyes that know exactly where to find your weak spots."
She had no top-grade spiritual root, no world-shaking background, and certainly no male lead who would suddenly descend from the heavens to save a beauty.
With nothing but a fragmentary stone inscription called the Art of Observing Cracks, she went from dockworker to a blade cultivator who could see through illusions, feared throughout the Nine Provinces!
[Highlights]
★ The heroine never lets herself be pushed around: She loves money, cherishes her life, and holds a grudge. If she can solve something with her blade, she won't waste words. If she can't win, she'll lie low and find a weakness. Once she strikes, she always hits where it hurts!
★ A realistic ensemble cast where everyone is smart: Her childhood friend doesn't hold her back and becomes the captain of a fleet. Her healer companion founds a sect and saves lives. Her opponent from a prestigious clan is a worthy rival and friend. Her master, her demon clan friends, and her defector senior brother aren't lovesick or mere plot devices. Each finds their own path to the pinnacle of life.
★ A hard-hitting rebellion on an epic scale: No romance, just cultivation. She smashes through the sects of the mortal world and overturns the millennia-old conspiracy of the immortal world to drain the lower realms!
"This blade of mine won't strike at illusory gods or Buddhas. It will strike at the world's injustice!"
