Cultivating Immortality, but I Awakened a Steam Spirit Root

After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister from an immortal sect who was being forced to have her spiritual root gouged out, Yu Zhu looked at the bloody hole in her dantian as a System notification sounded in her ear:

[Congratulations! You have activated the Steam Spiritual Root.]

Yu Zhu: ?

From then on, the cultivation world went off the rails.

When a sword cultivator formed a hand seal to summon their life-bound sword, Yu Zhu raised a hand and showed off Sekiro's deflection technique. "Ding!"

When an alchemist refined a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, Yu Zhu pulled bacon and eggs out of her Don't Starve inventory. "Restores 20 HP!"

When a talisman cultivator unleashed an ancient forbidden spell, Yu Zhu whipped out Plants vs. Zombies' Cob Cannon. "The ultimate farming strategy is to blanket the enemy with firepower!"

Later, on the day the Demon Venerable led an army of a million undead to attack, everyone saw the junior sister of the immortal sect, whom they had declared a cripple, holding back the entire army by herself.

Behind her, Civilization VI's missile silo slowly rose into view.

"Who says cultivation has to follow your rules?"

"Let me show you all..."

"What Steam cultivation looks like!"

When Yu Zhu's spiritual root was gouged out and she was thrown off the Cliff of Reflection, the entire sect watched and laughed.

Who didn't know that the junior sister was a fool who had let the Demon Venerable deceive her into giving up her heart and cultivation, then betrayed the immortal sect?

"Will Junior Sister ever make it back?"

"Her dantian is leaking! How can she cultivate immortality? Nobody without cultivation can survive at the bottom of the Cliff of Reflection!" The senior brother from the Discipline Hall scowled.

"Exactly! A born furnace should know her place!" The people from other sects also mocked her without restraint.

Everyone thought Yu Zhu was doomed.

But when the Demon Venerable led a million troops to attack the immortal sect, he saw Yu Zhu sitting with her legs crossed on a throne of steam.

"My beloved A Zhu..." The Demon Venerable's eyes reddened as he was about to speak, but Yu Zhu's Ashina Cross had already blown apart his dantian!

"So familiar, are we? Did you pay for premium content?"

Reader's Guide:

1. No CP. A goofy fun-lover with no interest in romance.

2. A leveling-up story. The female lead is a gamer by nature.

3. Very absurd. Starting from scratch to build a cultivation world with its own unique character.

Theme: United in purpose, united in strength.
