The Mortal Who Slays Immortals

A person's future is decided the moment they are born.

Mortals call it "fate," while immortals call it "celestial affinity."

Toss a stone to test the way: if the Immortal-Questioning Stone changes color, the person has celestial affinity.

"Gold means superior, green means average, white means inferior..."

If its color does not change, they have no affinity with immortals. Born a lowly commoner, they are doomed to a lowly life.

In times of peace, commoners pay half their harvest in taxes, of which the immortals take three tenths. When war breaks out, commoners pay eight tenths, and the immortals take five.

The Kingdom of Chaoyun has been at war again and again, leaving commoners starving everywhere.

Five of Chen Fan's family of seven starve to death, leaving only him and his younger sister, Chen Xi, to rely on each other.

"Does a commoner's life not count as a life?"

That year, all of Chen Fan's resentment poured into a mysterious black greatsword he had picked up, and with mortal strength, he killed an immortal.

But aren't immortals supposed to seek the Dao and eternal life?

Why would that immortal take food from mortals?

The secrets of cultivation begin to unravel...??
