The challenges a female cultivator has to overcome on her life journey are countless.
She mustn’t lack in talent, cultivation techniques, medicinal pills or magic weapons. Otherwise, her cultivation will progress too slowly.
She also mustn’t have too many emotions, weaknesses, kindness, or greed - if she has these in excess, she'll soon be saying hello to death.
Moreover, she mustn't look either too pretty or ugly.  Although she mustn’t be stupid, she also mustn't be too smart.
With all this in mind, a certain female cultivator sighs. Why's it so hard to become an Immortal?

Lady Cultivator

Neither of them dared to fight that stone sword head-on; the moment the stone sculpture swung it towards them, both Mo Tiange and Daoist Fangzheng dodged out of the way. A loud rumbling noise rang out, and the stone slab on the floor shattered.

Mo Tiange's and Daoist Fangzheng's expressions changed. They knew the materials in a Nascent Soul cultivator's Immortal's Cave must've been consecrated, yet this stone sculpture was able to pierce it so easily with one strike of its sword that didn't seem to have much power! They wondered whether they could do the same or not, but the answer was obvious—they couldn't.

However, they didn't have time to think about it further because the stone sculpture swung its sword again. Just like before, the force of this attack was extremely high.

But as they predicted earlier, despite its enormous strength, this stone sculpture's movements were extremely slow due to its heavy figure, while speed... was precisely Mo Tiange's forte!
