Three hundred years passed in a monotonous and tedious existence. In her small celestial heart, there was never any yearning for the supreme Dao; only a long-held wish—to go to the mortal realm. The immortals of the celestial realm all said that mortal life was filled with suffering, worldly troubles, and that greed, anger, and delusion were the most disturbing influences on one's Dao heart—a mortal hell that cultivators should avoid at all costs. But to Lingxi, those sufferings and disturbances were a hundred times more vibrant and interesting than the unchanging, cold celestial abode of ten thousand years.
