[A smash-hit 2023 fantasy novel, highly recommended] [Mortal's journey + ruthless combat + dark tone] Fuxi, the Human Sovereign, created the Eight Trigrams when disaster struck. The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan forged the Xuanyuan Bow when his nation was in peril. Shennong, the Flame Emperor, created the Shennong Cauldron in response to disease...
At a critical moment, Song Lanchen, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Huaxia, was wandering through the primeval forests of ancient times, in Shennongjia, when he obtained the ancient supreme treasure, the Shennong Cauldron. Unexpectedly, as he broke through to the Golden Core realm, his body was weak.
Researchers captured him for experiments. The Golden Core he had painstakingly condensed vanished without a trace, and in the end, his hair turned white overnight.
When I return to my peak, all beneath the four seas will bow before me. My sword will defy the heavens and cleave the vast ocean. I shall be an immortal, deathless and eternal.
With the Shennong Cauldron in his palm and a colossal sword in his grasp, he will tread the Nine Heavens and become the foremost immortal of the Seven Paths.
