Jueyun was born with the bones of a sword. She entered the path of cultivation at seven, formed her golden core at twelve, and became the greatest golden-core cultivator in the Nine Provinces at fifteen.
Her sect held a banquet to celebrate her, only to shackle her with chains forged from dark iron.
Then they tore out her sword bones, gouged out her golden core, and took her life-bound sword.
As she lay dying, she managed only one question: Why?
They answered, "Everything that is too hard will break. You were too sharp and arrogant, flaunting your talent and offending too many people."
They were her sect's senior uncle, her own master, her closest friend, and the senior brother she loved.
Jueyun, her life force spent, was thrown into the Demon-Suppressing Abyss.
But somehow, she did not die.
After three hundred years fighting for survival in the abyss, she returned to the world, holding the life-bound sword that had fallen with her, its blade broken.
The sect she had once belonged to had become the greatest sword sect in the Nine Provinces.
Its leader was the respected head of the Dao Alliance.
Her master was the Taihe Sword Venerable, who had reached the pinnacle of his art.
Her closest friend and senior brother were a famed pair of genius sword cultivators, celebrated across the four seas.
And Jueyun?
Jueyun had gained a pair of heavenly eyes, letting her see the comments of hundreds of millions of people beyond this world.
Texts rolled across the sky. One line read:
"Aaaah, a beautiful, powerful, tragic daughter!!! I love her so much!!!! Keep going, darling!! Mom can't wait for you to tear the villains apart!!!"
A violent sword cultivator who would rather act than talk x a lazy great demon who would rather talk than act
