In her previous life, Su Qing joined the Cloud Sword Sect, a small sect in the Gobi Desert. Her elder sister, Su Ruoshan, entered the Xuan Ling Sect, one of the five major sects on the Wuyuan Continent. Su Qing struggled daily at the Cloud Sword Sect, suffering abuse from her master and fellow disciples, and cultivated diligently. She formed her Foundation Core, condensed her Golden Core, and formed her Nascent Soul. In the end, she killed all the evil fellow disciples and her master, becoming the Sect Master of the Cloud Sword Sect.
Su Ruoshan became a disciple of Elder Shui Qingchen in the Xuan Ling Sect, focusing on pill refinement. However, she fell in love with a fellow disciple and neglected her cultivation. After barely forming her Foundation Core, she made no further progress. Instead, she was expelled from the sect due to her romance and became a demonic cultivator. When they met again, Su Qing was the Nascent Soul cultivator and Sect Master of the Xuan Ling Sect, while Su Ruoshan had already been killed. Her soul was captured by the Yin-Yang Banner, turning her into a vengeful spirit.
After rebirth, Su Ruoshan chose to join the Cloud Sword Sect, while Su Qing became a disciple of the Xuan Ling Sect. In this life, Su Ruoshan struggles at the Cloud Sword Sect, while Su Qing, backed by a major sect, step by step walks toward the peak of cultivation.
