Yun Zhao, the Holy Maiden of the Tianqiong Sect, is a compassionate and sacred deity in the eyes of countless followers, and a living sacrifice through which her family maintains its divine authority.
The prayer beads around her wrist burn her meridians day and night, sealing her divine phoenix bloodline, powerful enough to scorch the heavens. She never reveals the slightest hint of her strength, swallowing all her pain in silence.
Her only weakness is the black-clad outcast who was stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the sect for her sake.
Only later does she discover that her family never wanted her protection. They meant to refine her into a sacrifice, doomed to never rise again.
This time, she will endure no more.
Her Clear Radiance Sword flashes, the divine phoenix spreads its wings. She burns away her shackles, and with them, this hypocritical divine authority.
She was never an idol for others to kneel before. She is the wind that shatters the clouds and defies fate to become a god.
