Blurb
Ran Xiu was not only the pride of her sect, but the pride of the entire cultivation world. She possessed a rare, naturally formed sword bone, and in less than a century of cultivation had become unmatched across the world of cultivation.
Just when everyone thought Ran Xiu would keep cultivating, comprehend the Dao, and ascend to immortality, she instead became Dao companions with a good-for-nothing cultivator, seemingly intent on leaving the cultivation world behind.
Ran Xiu longed for sunset evenings spent drinking wine and chatting about everyday life, and looked forward to wandering into a lotus patch and forgetting all her troubles.
But the grudges and troubles she had accumulated while cultivating kept cropping up, and Ran Xiu couldn't put down her sword.
One day in their tenth year together, Ran Xiu sat on the swing in their little courtyard, wiping blood from her hands.
The wind stirred the leaves overhead, and the trees cast long shadows in the setting sun. She looked at her husband, dressed in white, gentle and composed.
At that moment, she suddenly understood that the cultivation world was where she belonged.
Ran Xiu left a divorce letter and departed without a word, returning to her sect to continue cultivating. But the threads of worldly ties bound her, and her cultivation did not advance by an inch.
She had once devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Dao, proving it through killing for nearly a hundred years.
But after returning from the mortal world, she could no longer lift her sword.
Later, the demonic overlord was resurrected, demonic energy spread throughout the cultivation world, and demons attacked her sect.
Amid a sea of blood at her sect, Ran Xiu raised her sword once more.
Blood soaked her clothes. Amid the slaughter, she heard a familiar voice call out,
"Senior Sister."
She turned and saw her ex-husband, half human and half ghost, his body transformed by demonic corruption.
She remembered her lifelong ambition to "prove the Dao through killing." In the end, she killed her husband with one strike, proved the Dao, and ascended to immortality. From then on, all worldly ties were severed, and nothing bound her.
After ascending, Ran Xiu lived freely and at ease. Just as she was bowing her head at a Dao-discussion conference, imagining the wonderful immortal life ahead of her, she casually looked up and saw the ex-husband who had helped her ascend.
By sheer coincidence, he looked over at that very moment too. Auspicious clouds swirled around him, spiritual energy brimmed in every direction, and his solemn, imposing presence seemed beyond reach.
Ran Xiu: "..."
"???"
"!!!"
#What do I do? My good-for-nothing husband became the Supreme Sage of the Upper Realm after I proved the Dao. Help, I'm in a hurry.

As the Creator God, the Supreme Sage Wuyou damaged his soul during a calamity that threatened the world, so he sent a fragment of his soul into the cycle of reincarnation to heal.
The fragment reincarnated peacefully for a thousand years, until one day it broke through the Nine Heavens from the lower realm and forcibly returned to its rightful place.
Wuyou opened his eyes, hesitating as he felt the grievance and resentment coming from that fragment of his soul.
#What do I do? My ex-wife proved the Dao by killing me, and I'm still pining for her. Help, I'm so confused.
