Sixteen year old Zhou Hou is one of fifty new initiates to the Seven Striking Thunder Sect, seeking to earn the ultimate prize: living godhood. But what Hou - actually Zhou Hui Ying, youngest daughter of the Zhou - wants is vengeance against the sect elder who killed her family. And if a mortal has no chance against an ancient, wicked cultivator, then she will become immortal, even though it means joining a male-only sect notorious for its villainy. -- This is a slow burn cultivation story starting from the very ground up.
