When Xin Yao was ten, she got lost in an accident and transmigrated to the world of cultivation.
With outstanding aptitude and spiritual roots, she was taken in and carefully trained by the cultivation world's greatest sect. In just two hundred years, she reached the Mahayana realm, survived the tribulation, and ascended, becoming a legend throughout the cultivation world.
But after being struck by heavenly lightning eighty-one times, the legendary cultivator failed to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Just as she was about to step through its gates, a bolt of golden light knocked her back down to the mortal world.
At the same time, a voice like a tolling bell boomed in her ear:
"The Immortal Realm has reformed its policies. Starting in the 21338th year of the New Immortal Calendar, those whose merit is incomplete will be denied ascension to the Immortal Realm."
Xin Yao had spent two hundred years cultivating in seclusion and had barely ever left her sect, let alone gathered merit. "..."
What made things worse was that when she opened her eyes, she hadn't returned to the cultivation world. Instead, she had somehow transmigrated back to the modern era, landing right in her own garden.
Xin Yao: "..."
Couldn't this damned Immortal Realm System get the teleportation right? How long would it take to gather merit on Earth in the 21st century?
Only ten years had passed since the year she went missing. To make up for the anguish of losing her daughter, her mother had already adopted a girl from an orphanage.
The adopted girl had become the little princess of the family, doted on by everyone. Xin Yao's return put quite a few people in an awkward position.
Xin Yao was clueless about social niceties and settled everything with her fists. If someone rubbed her the wrong way, she'd hit them.
Her only concern was how to cleave open space and time accurately so she could return to the cultivation world and gather merit.
But before she had much time to worry, spiritual energy began to revive across the globe. Along with it came the ubiquitous supernatural horrors.
They took physical form and ran rampant across the world, dragging countless people into the abyss.
Xin Yao: Merit delivered right to my door. Check!
So while people around the world struggled to deal with the resurgent horrors, a sword aura that pierced the heavens burst forth above Mount Kunlun in China. With one slash, it cut down a calamity-class horror that had only just revived.
The whole world was shaken.

※ No female rivalry. The adopted younger sister gradually becomes a sister-con.
※ The heroine is the strongest character in the story and only wants to gather merit and ascend. (There is a CP, but little romance. The CP is the heroine's master.)
※ Slightly harem-like. The heroine is a bit airheaded and doesn't realize she's leading people on; she is slow to notice others' affection.
