Peerless Blade Saint

(The protagonist starts out a genius, with no golden finger, no powerful backing, and no heroine. He is decisive and ruthless, but the early chapters are slow-paced.)

Amid a sea of flames, a somewhat gaunt boy hides inside a water vat. He peeks out at the raging fire consuming every memory of his past... From that day on, a boy surnamed Fu embarks on a path of revenge. To avenge his murdered family, he crawls through the darkness, enduring humiliation just to survive.

What will he do after he has taken his revenge?

What unknown secrets lie hidden beneath the dazzling surface of the capital, Dajing?

After ascending, the boy truly sees a world of cultivation unlike any he imagined.
