The Great Way Leads to Immortality

[Warning: Traditional, long-form cultivation novel] Before Xue Jin entered the cultivation world, her greatest ambition in life was to find somewhere to loaf around, eat her fill, and wait for death. After she is found to possess a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root and becomes a once-in-a-millennium genius in the cultivation world, her master, Ling Xuzi, tells her that with her talent, she only needs to cultivate steadily and she can ascend to immortality in less than a hundred years. The catch is that she must find her own Dao. Her master tells her, "Cultivation isn't about fighting and killing, competing for resources, or factional infighting. It's the process of your primordial spirit leaving its body and drawing close to the Heavenly Dao. No matter how great or poor your talent is, you can still become immortal if you find your own Dao. Remember, never stray from this path." Three months after saying this, her master, whose talent ranked at the very bottom of the cultivation world, leaves behind a complete set of cultivation methods and ascends to immortality. "So what is my Dao?" From then on, Xue Jin and her companions set out on a journey to seek the Dao. Over the vast sea, she sees sword cultivators pursue the Sword Dao as they comprehend the intent of the sword. Atop snowy peaks, she sees Buddhist cultivators contemplate all living beings in solitude. In a thousand miles of haunted lands, she sees demonic cultivators inhale and exhale turbid energy. In the bustling human world, she sees Confucian cultivators poring over book after book. These are their paths. At last, Xue Jin comes to understand. If legend says there are three thousand great Daos in the world, then she will cultivate every path of the human world. Theme: Finding one's true direction along the way
