   I recently read this book and found it quite enjoyable. The female lead unexpectedly obtains a divine sword, which resonates with the male lead's sword, and the two begin communicating. However, in the early stages, the female lead doesn't realize it's the male lead speaking and thinks it's the sword spirit. Later, the two encounter each other during a mission, and the male lead stares intently at the female lead, haha. I also like the character design; the male lead is the gentle type. Highly recommended!

    This is exactly what I'm talking about! The female lead is the daughter of a military family, with a heart for the common people. Even if the enemy is stronger than her, she will fight for a chance to survive. Prodigies from all over the world gather because of her. On her path to becoming a sword immortal, she discovers that she is bound by a restriction, caused by a Gu poison cast on her mother. The protagonist then cultivates and unravels the mystery, uncovering the secrets of her past generation, while becoming the supreme swordsman. Moreover, this book is an ensemble piece, a female-centric novel, with many secret realms and cultivation techniques. The best part is how cool the female lead is when she fights monsters. There's also an inner sect competition, where prestigious families from all over the world fight fiercely for a place in the inner sect.
