Hidden Along the Mortal Path

Long ago, the Zhao family shop was on the verge of bankruptcy when Third Uncle generously lent them money to help it get back on its feet. By a stroke of luck, Immortal Li from the Sea of Shura granted Third Uncle a place to study cultivation. Third Uncle then took Zhao Fan, who was staying at his home, to the Qingyan Sect for an aptitude test. Rejected for having a mixed spiritual root, Zhao Fan was admitted as a servant disciple thanks to Immortal Li's intervention. He cultivated at astonishing speed and placed fifth among the top eight in the sect's tournament, earning promotion to the inner sect. But disaster struck, and the Qingyan Sect was destroyed. Grief-stricken, Zhao Fan returned home to work as a blacksmith. At the crucial moment, Immortal Li appeared and revealed the hidden connection between Zhao Fan and the world. From then on, Zhao Fan endured countless trials, broke through his limitations, and fought his way into the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm, ultimately becoming a powerhouse across all three realms.
