She shouldn't have cultivated the Path of All Living Beings, but she did because of what happened back then (seemingly a time-travel story, but there's more to it than meets the eye; the scope is very grand, and the characters are well-developed) [almost crying] 2. Even though everyone treated her that way (they didn't believe her, they looked down on her, but later changed after discovering her power), she kept helping the cultivation world [almost crying] 3. To find her sect members and save many people, she gradually came to the God Realm just to save everyone (this book has no angst).

    🍉Ever since Ye Qiao transmigrated into the body of the sect's second senior sister, the disheartened and world-weary senior brother no longer felt depressed or wanted to die. Instead, he chased after Ye Qiao all day, roaring, "Try skipping class again!" The second senior brother was a genius male supporting character who died under the lightning tribulation because he couldn't break through to the next realm and developed a mental demon. Ye Qiao tentatively extended an invitation: "The Great Dao is simple, and the absence of desire is the greatest simplicity. Second senior brother, why don't we just give up together?" The second senior brother: "..." That seems to make some sense? To the fourth senior brother: "Without women in your heart, your sword will naturally be divine. Women will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword."
