[Ordinary protagonist | Ancient setting | Resource-based cultivation | Traditional fantasy]
A condemned prisoner, sentenced to be beheaded, was dumped in a mass grave. He should have become another unclaimed corpse among the dead. But by chance, he came back to life and found his way onto the path of cultivation. With five-element spiritual roots, all this death-row inmate had was a life that feared death more than anyone else's, yet somehow refused to end. Amid the dangers of the cultivation world, through scarce resources, schemes, betrayal, and long years of solitude, he climbed upward inch by inch. Watch as he finds his footing in the cultivation world and becomes a mighty cultivator in his own right.
