The Sword Venerable Keeps Forcing Me to Usurp the Throne

This is a long-form progression fantasy with a slow start.

The heroine, who firmly rejects cultivation ten times out of ten but eventually comes around, X the big shot hero who pushes her to become strong so he can take him down.

When Sang Xiwei came to her senses in this life, she was on the verge of losing her life.

Fortunately, a voice in her head had a wealth of experience and helped her escape with her life.

The voice kindly offered to teach her swordsmanship,

but seasoned couch potato Sang Xiwei was not interested.

Sang Xiwei named her price sky-high: "Do you have merfolk silk? Rainbow clouds? Countless magic treasures and cultivation techniques?"

Surely the voice would back down now?

The voice said, "...I do!"

Huh?!

Sang Xiwei was tempted. For a moment, she felt that all that stood between her and the immortal maiden of her dreams, draped in merfolk silk and rainbow clouds and accompanied by golden wheels and rosy clouds, was a pretty face.

But in the end,

she got merfolk silk, woven by merfolk who had been forced to learn on the spot after being threatened with having to pierce stone with their bare hands;

she got rainbow clouds, in the form of a tribulation of purple-gold lightning that nearly killed her as she broke through her realm;

and she got magic treasures and cultivation techniques, all won through risking her life.

Sang Xiwei: Even a pig-butchering scam wouldn't have cheated me this badly!

With a calamity approaching the Three Realms, Sword Venerable Li Zhifu was trapped in the Demon Abyss. He split off a wisp of his soul to search for a successor and save the people.

But he never expected that wisp to attach itself to a timid girl who feared death and had no ambition.

The girl did have extraordinary talent, though, so Li Zhifu could only coax and trick her into cultivating.

Later,

Sang Xiwei traversed the perilous ten-thousand-zhang abyss and endured winds that cut to the bone, eventually becoming a Sword Venerable in her own right.

Sang Xiwei drew her sword and roared, "You lying Sword Venerable! Come out and face your death!"

Li Zhifu stood with his sword raised. "A Xi has been so diligent in practicing the sword. I would be happy to oblige."

Sang Xiwei: ???

Sang Youxi was taken out by a brick that fell from the sky.

"Welcome, Player 245481, to the Interstellar Adventure Game. You..."

"Bam!"

Sang Youxi snatched up the brick beside her and smashed the robot in front of her to pieces.

"Beep, "

"Attacking the tutorial NPC is prohibited! Attacking the tutorial NPC is prohibited!"

"Player 245481 has violated the game rules and will now be sent to Black Room Zero-Two-Three for punishment!"

She started in the Black Room, having smashed the tutorial System herself.

Sang Youxi looked around at the other unlucky players

and picked out a man who was sleeping on an iron bed as if it were his own plush mattress.

"Bam!"

The brick bent one of Li Qingyu's bed legs. He barely managed to prop himself up before rolling onto the floor.

The next second, a petite, smiling woman was crouched in front of him.

"Hey, handsome, how about doing me a favor?"

Li Qingyu thought the woman seemed a little off. He turned over and decided to go back to sleep.

"Bam!"

The brick came down, narrowly missing the tip of his nose.

Li Qingyu wiped his face. "Miss... Brick Heroine, what do you want?"

Sang Youxi smiled sweetly. "Hey, handsome, tell me where we are. What's this game and Black Room stuff?"

Sang Youxi thought she had found a great partner: he knew a lot and knew how to behave.

But she failed to notice the way the unlucky players around her looked at her, as if she were already dead, when she approached Li Qingyu.

Only later did Sang Youxi learn that the only person who could sleep without a care in the Black Room

was Player 999, one of the top-ranked players who treated the Black Room like his own backyard.

But it was fine. They were both on the rankings. Who was afraid of whom?

Sang Qiaoruo transmigrated.

From Qi Refining to Grand Ascension,

her road to immortality was unimaginably hard.

The east wind may not lend its strength,

but my spirit will still reach for the heavens.
