Knock on Life

The sky cracked, chaos eroded the nine spiritual veins, and the monks needed to purify the deadly turbid air to absorb the spiritual energy. The world of cultivation adheres to the cruel rules - those who break through the "Knocking Down Pass" need to gouge out their eyes, cut out their hearts, and mutilate their bodies in order to gain cultivation. However, due to the curse of heaven, they become "Heaven-hated", and their lifespan decreases sharply as their realms rise. **Protagonist Shen Wuya**: An outer disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect, he has been branded as "The One Who Dislikes Heaven" since he was a child. He practices the "Basic Qi Refining Technique" but has a hidden secret: half of the broken bronze key is dormant in his Dantian, and Chixiao, the red-eyed sword spirit, is curled up in the natal spiritual fire. In order to track down his parents who disappeared with the meteor thirty years ago, he secretly learned forbidden arts and traded longevity with the black market organization "Palace of the Past", holding a blood-sucking wooden sword and embarking on a journey against heaven. **Core Conflict**: The overt line is for Shen Wuya to explore the mystery of his parents' disappearance, while the hidden line is directed towards repairing the cracks in the sky and preventing chaos from destroying the world. On the way, he was chased by a future dead figure transformed by a monk from the "Shadowless City". He bid for his heart at an auction in the Fengdu ghost market, and discovered that the sword spirit burned a common memory every time he grew older - it turned out that Chi Xiao was actually the incarnation of the first-generation Tianwei, and he could only wake up after devouring the life span of those who were destined to reincarnate. **Innovation System**: - **Living Kung Fu**: The ancient "Taixu Sutra" parasitized the monk's body, devoured other classics and evolved, and has backfired on three masters - **Gray Tribulation Economy**: After the monk dies, the Daoji turns into gray crystals, and his cultivation can be inherited for a short period of time.
