A Long Sword Is Needed to Reach the Ninth Heaven

From the moment Chu Li entered the world of cultivation, she knew there was something special about her.

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion wept as he took her hand and offered her a fortuitous opportunity. Wherever she went, some powerful figure was quietly protecting her from the shadows. Her mother was the unrequited love of countless people, while her father had a mysterious identity and was suspected of being an ancient monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Then someone else told her, “You’re the Child of Destiny, blessed with incredible fortune!”

Chu Li expressionlessly replied, “Oh.”

What’s a Child of Destiny? Is it really that impressive?

As it turned out, it really was.

Years later, Chu Li raised her sword with a troubled expression. Facing her was a hideous demon powerhouse bent on destroying the world.

This isn’t fair! Nobody told her that being the Child of Destiny meant taking the lead in fighting monsters!

Why did all those old fossils, several generations older than her, get to hide behind her and watch her fight?

“Because you’re so strong!”

…

Sorry, I’m done carrying this destiny. I quit!

P.S. An unconventional heroine. Saving the world is just a side effect. She’s no saint, often does bad things, and swings between cold indifference and sudden fury.

Romance can’t compare to cultivation. No-couple stories are the way to go.
