The Inkstone Subdues the Eight Wastelands

Shen Yan died in a ruined temple on a rainy night. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a sickly young man in a frontier town of another world, sold into a brothel.

A mechanical voice rang out in his mind at the same time: The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Ways System has been bound.

The Buddhist Lion's Roar, the Daoist Palm Thunder, the demon race's undying body, the imperial Nine Dragon Force, the martial world's countless schools of combat arts, the deadly techniques of assassins' guilds: as long as he completes System missions, he can plunder, fuse, and evolve them all.

From the brothel to the martial world, from the martial world to the imperial court, from the mortal realm to the immortal domains.

When he copies scriptures, Buddha's light shines everywhere. When he refines pills, Daoist resonance comes naturally. When he gets angry, demon blood boils. When he raises a hand, dragon energy soars into the sky.

The world calls him a living Buddha and a devil; a national preceptor and a fiend.

Only the women by his side know that beneath the calm in this man's eyes lies a volcano about to overturn the Eight Wastelands.

This inkstone of mine can grind ink, or it can subdue souls.
