Saint of the Azure Heavens

Tian Chen is born into a declining family, but his impure bloodline earns him the label of low-grade warrior. His family bullies him and treats him with contempt. Just as he's lost all hope and about to take his own life, an opportunity falls into his hands: Tian Chen finds the spatial ring left behind by the War Clan's founding ancestor and gains the chance to cleanse his marrow and replace his blood. He shines at the coming-of-age challenge tournament, but fate plays a cruel joke on him. Determined to gain the power to change his destiny, he throws himself into the brutal world of cultivation. He first meets the person he loves, then the lifelong friend who will matter most to him, and later a mysterious elder who teaches him what it means to be strong. He also encounters a beast and sees the ugliness of human nature, but learns to forgive as well. Through one trial after another, he gradually matures, eventually seeing through life and death, understanding cause and effect, and forging his own Great Dao.
