Immortal Light

When Ye Zhaowei was thirteen, a blind fortune-teller at the street corner read her fortune. He said she would face three calamities in her life. If she survived them, she would be free from all troubles and ascend to immortality by day.

If she failed, her body and soul would be destroyed.

Her corpse would lie in the wilderness, devoured by wild dogs.

At the time, Ye Zhaowei was a little beggar. She threw a steamed bun at his face.

“Thanks for the kind words!”

Only when the kings of hell from the Ten Halls and Eight Directions pursued her, and her birth parents cursed her with their lives, did she understand.

Some people really are born with calamities written into their fate.

It doesn't matter.

For eighteen years in the Zhaolin Realm, even when she was starving to death, she never counted on anyone to save her.

If there was no way out, she'd carve one out with her blade.

To master the world is refinement; to illuminate the four directions is brilliance.

To reach the four directions and command the myriad realms is to be the Empress of Civilization.

Reading guide:

1. Traditional cultivation progression, long-form story, with a growing female lead.

2. A light ensemble cast. There is a male lead; this is not a no-CP story.

3. Cultivation levels: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Spirit Transformation → Void Refining → Dao Integration → Mahayana → (Tribulation and Ascension)

Note: “To master the world is refinement; to illuminate the four directions is brilliance” comes from Kong Yingda's commentary on the Book of Documents, written during the Tang dynasty.
