The auspicious beast that was supposed to protect merchants and travelers had turned demonic.
Ink-blackness swallowed its silver feathers, and its flesh and blood turned to ash without a flame.
Everyone said that cultivating demonic arts would turn you into a demon, but the beast had never practiced them.
What terrified Qi Yue even more was that she had seen that exact same shade of black before.
Four spiritual roots. Slow to draw in qi, difficult to cultivate, and with impure spiritual energy. So what?
Carrying memories from another world, Qi Yue felt her way forward step by step in this world of cultivation.
Rotating currents in her dantian, circulating meridians, comprehending the Dao of artifact refining: others relied on talent, while she learned through trial and error. Others had a master to guide them, while she forged ahead on her own.
From sealed old cases to the source of demonic calamities, from an outer-sect disciple to beyond the edge of the Great Void, she moved slowly, but never stopped.
No CP, strong female lead, slow-burn growth, xianxia + mystery
Theme: Surrounded by powerful enemies, limited in talent, and short on resources, one can still forge a path through observation, trial and error, and supporting one another. True survival means holding on to yourself while securing a chance to live for others too.
