[Cultivation novel, fictional parallel world, power fantasy + awakening of the strong + no harem + no romance + no ambiguity. Protagonist: Romance? I'm only interested in slaying immortals.]
In one world, eight Heavenly Daos govern the fundamental laws of existence.
Hundreds of years ago, he was one of the two great masters who wielded the Heavenly Daos.
He proved his Dao through martial prowess and fought the gods of the myriad heavens.
He joined forces with the demon and human clans to launch a holy war against the gods' rule!
But he failed. After his defeat, the Heavenly Dao suppressed him, and he and his junior sister went into hiding among the common folk under the assumed names Kong Sheng and Mu Xian.
In the 21st century, spiritual qi revival has begun, and countless creatures across the world cultivate and attain the Dao.
Kong Sheng, whose sharp edges have nearly been worn away, is targeted by powerful figures in the human world after a kidnapping case, and returns to the world of cultivation.
By chance, he learns that his mentor may still be alive, and hope rekindles within him. This time, he will not be as reckless and unprepared as he was before. This time, he will fight his way to the Ninth Heaven and witness with his own eyes the "Great Way in Action" his mentor spoke of!
