Heaven-Defying Divine Pearl

The protagonist of this novel, Zhang Dabao, was once a top inner disciple of his sect, with his cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. While competing for a treasure in a secret realm with prodigies from other sects, he was ambushed by their cultivators. He was gravely injured, his spiritual root was destroyed, and his cultivation fell to the early Body Tempering Realm. After making it back to his sect alive, he was bullied and beaten nearly to death by Zhao Hao, another sect prodigy, then thrown from a cliff behind the Qingyun Immortal Sect. He fell into the outskirts of the Ancient Abyss of Annihilation in the Western Desert.

As he hovered on the brink of death, his blood essence and fragments of his soul dripped onto a black pearl that had been sealed for billions of years at the heart of the ancient abyss, triggering a chance to bind his bloodline and soul to it.

This pearl is the ultimate treasure left behind when the last Immortal Emperor who defied the Dao fell. Sealed by the Heavenly Dao in a perilous corner of the mortal realm, it was undetectable to all. Only a discarded man, utterly despairing yet possessed of an unyielding heart that defied heaven and fate’s favor, could activate it.

With his dying body, unyielding Dao heart, and mortal blood, Zhang Dabao fully activates the Heaven-Defying Reincarnation Pearl. He claims it with his blood and binds it to his soul, making it impossible to ever take away. He becomes its sole bearer across the Three Realms.
