The Land of Abandonment: a desolate realm without spiritual energy, where wind and sand gnaw at the bones and all life lies still. Twelve-year-old Cheng Tian struggles to survive in this purgatory, a place the mighty sects regard as a prison. Carrying his search for his cold-hearted father, his longing for his missing younger sister, and his questions about his mother's past, Cheng Tian also bears the icy sword bones and countless mysteries forged within the Land of Abandonment. With the short dagger his father left behind in hand and a bewildered dragon crocodile perched on his shoulder, he steps into the vast and perilous world of cultivation!
The abandoned sword will one day be drawn. Is the source of his devouring power a curse or a blessing? What secrets of heaven and earth lie hidden within the Water Origin Pearl in his body? What bloody storms will the grudges and passions of the previous generation unleash? Cheng Tian's path begins in a prison, but leads toward the supreme sword dao, a way powerful enough to sever fate and pierce the heavens!
It's my favorite type, but some details need to be improved.
