Riding Spirits to Ascension: The Path of the Demon Immortal

[Solo cultivation + monster transformation + beast taming + the only cultivator in the world + decisive and ruthless + extremely cautious + admirers but no female lead]

In this world, cultivators have long since become the stuff of legend, and the path of cultivation has fallen into disuse. Yet the road to ascension still remains.

The art of spirit-chain spirit taming has risen to prominence: tame spirits to attain the Dao, and the tamer ascends.

Spirit tamers need only raise their contracted spirit beasts until they survive the tribulation and become immortal beasts. Then they can ascend to the Immortal Realm alongside them.

Qi Yulin of the Qi family on Snow Deer Plains rose to prominence in the secret realm of wind and snow. As the first cultivator since the extinction of the ancient cultivation world, he set foot on this desolate path, becoming its sole pioneer.

He possesses eight different spirit roots, each with a different attribute: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and lightning. He also has eight monster-transformed forms and cultivates techniques from all eight schools.

As his cultivation deepens, the secrets hidden within Qi Yulin's body gradually come to light, and he gains an ever greater understanding of this world.

Are spirit chains truly used to tame spirits, or to control people? Or perhaps...

Witness how humanity's only cultivator, in a monster-transformed body, ascends and becomes an immortal in a world that was never meant for cultivators!

(He begins cultivating after gaining his first monster-transformed form in Chapter 29. The first twenty chapters focus on family life and have a slower pace.)
