Mo Jin, the closed-door disciple of the head of Luoxia Sect, was exceptionally gifted. She could draw qi into her body at the age of three, establish her foundation at ten, and become the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the cultivation world at eighteen.
After that, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In less than a hundred years, she became a rare Mahayana immortal, and with her guarding Luoxia Sect, the sect grew ever stronger and became one of the cultivation world's four great sects.
Everyone thought Mo Jin would naturally enter the Tribulation stage next and eventually ascend to immortality.
Mo Jin thought so too.
But ten years passed... then fifty... then a hundred...
Mo Jin's cultivation grew at a terrifying pace, yet she still hadn't reached the threshold of tribulation.
With no other choice, Mo Jin took up her sword alone and charged into the Heavenly Gate, battered and bloodied beneath the heavenly lightning, to question the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao said, "You have yet to pass the trial of love. How can you speak of ascension?"
Mo Jin said, "But I cultivate the Heartless Dao."
Mo Jin pondered for a moment, then declared with certainty, "This must mean I have to kill my husband to prove my Dao, to show my determination to cultivate the Heartless Dao."
So Mo Jin changed her appearance, went to the mortal world, found a man nearing the end of his life, extended his lifespan, and married him.
On their wedding night, the man confessed his love to Mo Jin with deep feeling. Overjoyed, Mo Jin sent her Luoxia Sword flying straight for her new husband's life.
The sky immediately rumbled with thunder, and Mo Jin smiled with satisfaction.
Mo Jin ascended to the Heavenly Gate once more, only to be stopped outside again.
Mo Jin was baffled. "I've already killed my husband to prove my Dao. What more do you want?"
The Heavenly Dao said, "He isn't quite dead. And even if he were, it wouldn't help. He hasn't fallen in love with you."
Mo Jin: ...
Helpless, Mo Jin returned to the mortal world once more. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her newlywed husband, frail but handsome, gazing at her with tears in his eyes and a delighted smile. "Wife, you're finally awake."
The sky above was clear and bright, without the slightest sign that a tribulation storm was coming.
Mo Jin smiled, her eyes narrowing. "How interesting."
