    That's definitely it! The female lead is the daughter of a military family, with a heart for all living beings. Even if the enemy is stronger than her, she will fight for a chance to survive. Prodigies from all over the country 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 life, 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 country come together to fight and compete for a place in the inner sect.
