How to Raise the Big Shot You Found as a Child

After ascending to immortality and becoming invincible in the mortal realm, the Nascent Soul cultivator Zi Li became one of the many low-level rogue cultivators in the Spirit Realm.

The only thing that set her apart was that she had a little talent

She was born with the "Demonic Eyes of Calamity," capable of determining the rise and fall of an entire realm!

So even after she unexpectedly lost all her cultivation, others still went to great lengths to win her over.

Especially this guy standing in front of her, Ming Chen.

As the chief senior disciple of Tianyin Sect, Ming Chen was unlike the other prodigies of the sects. He had aspired since childhood to overthrow his sect and pacify the chaotic world, but his cultivation had become stuck at a bottleneck, with no breakthrough in sight.

When he met Zi Li, he felt she was the opportunity Heaven had granted him.

Zi Li was suspicious and disliked being manipulated, so he asked his senior sister, his former teacher, to look after her. His senior sister was exceptionally talented and would surely win her favor.

Zi Li wanted to find medicine or kill someone, so he had junior brothers and sisters who were strong enough to be the perfect helpers.

Zi Li was a half-demon with nowhere to belong, and he happened to have a group of half-demons under his command. Perhaps they could help her find a sense of belonging among her own kind.

Just as he had hoped, this naturally solitary genius girl became the "daughter" his senior sister doted on, a close friend to his junior brothers and sisters, and the "little one" most cherished by the demon and half-demon clans. And yet...

Zi Li: Ming Chen is devious and unpredictable. Sooner or later, he'll lead everyone into danger. We must be on our guard.

Ming Chen: I truly mean no harm. What will it take for you to believe me?

Zi Li: Believe you? That might not be impossible.

"Tell me your secret, and I'll give you a chance to win my heart."

The calamities of this chaotic age showed no sign of stopping. Demonic creatures and evil spirits ran rampant, while the great sects continued to fight among themselves and powers from beyond the realm stirred restlessly... So everyone agreed to join forces and undertake a great cause

Dissolve every sect, and make all cultivators in the world answer to a single authority, so they can face the calamity together!

For her own safety, and to protect the bonds that were gradually forming around her, Zi Li was all for it.

Step one: seize the sects by force.

Zi Li gathered everyone together and used a battle formation to slay a powerful cultivator above her level.

The great demons dropped their spirit fruit with a thud. How could a little one be this strong?

Step two: crack down on black-market smuggling.

Zi Li took them all down in one fell swoop and let not a single fish escape.

The black-market forces that had long coveted her physique were astonished. How had she grown so strong so fast?

In Guiyuan City, some people provided her with resources, while others planned and cleaned up after her. Zi Li quietly made a fortune, and her cultivation rose by leaps and bounds.

When the conservative sects joined forces to attack the newly established dynasty, Zi Li intimidated them with her strength. "Does anyone have an objection? Take another look at the sword in my hand, then say that again!"

Everyone: Where did she get a divine weapon? We can't beat her!

P.S.

1. The heroine grows stronger over time and becomes the most powerful later on.

2. The main story is 70% plot and 30% relationships, including family, friendship, and romance, with a touch of an ensemble cast.

3. A fierce, cold-faced-but-adorable heroine x a gentle, scheming hero. The romance is a slow burn but not angsty. The heroine only suffers in her career, never in love.

4. This isn't traditional cultivation fantasy. It has a custom worldbuilding setting, with righteous and villainous characters of all genders. This novel doesn't discuss gender issues.

Theme: Do everything in your power to challenge fate.
