Yun Qinghe wanted to become strong. Really, really strong.
After all, the rumors said her cultivation was unfathomably profound, beyond anyone else's reach.
Five hundred years ago, she had killed the demonic creatures and rogue cultivators invading her sect with a single finger. Her fearsome reputation had shaken the cultivation world.
But only Yun Qinghe knew that her aptitude was terrible. No matter how she cultivated, she couldn't break through the sixth Qi Refining level. She was an ordinary mortal who couldn't even fly on a sword.
And yet her legends spread throughout the world.
They grew more and more outrageous, until she was said to be the strongest fighter in the Canglan Realm, with boundless divine powers.
-
Then foreign enemies invaded, throwing the Canglan Realm into chaos.
The sect's protective formation was broken. The elders were exhausted, and casualties were mounting.
Yun Qinghe was shoved into the line of fire. She pointed her longsword at the vicious Demon Lord, her hand trembling like a leaf.
The disciples: "The Ancestor is about to unleash her divine techniques! Just as expected of a Mahayana powerhouse. Truly terrifying!"
Faced with an overwhelming horde of demons,
Yun Qinghe nearly tripped, and accidentally dropped her sword into a ravine.
The elders: "When one's strength and cultivation are powerful enough, vanquishing one's foes takes no more than a snap of the fingers. The sword is therefore useless. Rest assured, with our sect's Ancestor here, that demon will be annihilated, body and soul!"
Yun Qinghe: "..."
Cold sweat poured down her back.
She was the one about to be annihilated, body and soul, by the demon!
Somebody, help!
Just then, a man's cool voice rang in her mind. "You really are weak."
A flash of azure light...
The fallen sword instantly returned to her hand.
Then it carried her straight toward the Demon Lord.
Yun Qinghe: "Aah!"
-
A cultivation-leveling story. The female lead is immortal and ageless, and will gradually grow stronger.
The male lead is the sword in her hand.
