Uncommon Origins / Bloodline / Cultivation / Underdog Protagonist / Defying Heaven / Both Parents Are Emperor Venerables

On the mysterious and fantastical Linghuan Continent, cultivators pursue power and secrets. Lin Tian, however, fell from the heights of glory to the depths of despair. He was born into the Lin family, one of Tianlan City's three great clans. His parents had once been Emperor Venerable powerhouses who shook the continent, but after a sudden upheaval, they were branded traitors to their clan and vanished without a trace. Lin Tian was also declared to have a "crippled meridian," becoming the family's laughingstock. His cousin Lin Yu even seized his parents' keepsakes and bullied him to death. Plunging from a cliff through the darkness and driving rain, Lin Tian should have met his end, yet by chance he opened another door to destiny. At the brink of death, he will encounter a mysterious power, awaken his dormant bloodline, and embark on a path of cultivation against the heavens. From a boy with crippled meridians to an unparalleled powerhouse, how will he overcome one obstacle after another, clear his family's name, and uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance? On this continent of opportunity and danger, Lin Tian's legend has only just begun.
