Reincarnation Cultivation: You're Saying I'm a Resurrection Vessel?

In the weeds of the Dark Iron Sword Grave, a swaddled infant clenched his fists.

He had no idea the dark red mark branded on his dantian was a verdict of “defying fate,” personally inscribed by the Heavenly Dao. A discarded baby with ruined meridians, rejected by the laws of heaven and earth with every breath.

For eighteen years, the old blacksmith’s hammer could not shatter the stubbornness in his bones. For eighteen years, the fire of the Dark Iron Furnace could not burn away the resentment roiling in his eyes.

Then, one night, the mark suddenly seared through flesh and blood, and the swords of the three great sects pierced the night sky above the small mountain village. The thing sealed inside him was no lingering soul, but an ancient bloodline capable of overturning the entire cultivation world!

So what if his meridians are severed?

So what if the Heavenly Dao turns against him?

With blood on his lips, Lin Mo charged into the formation set to kill him, but in his direst hour he touched a crack in fate. Chu Zhaozhao, the princess of the Northern Frontier, cut the chain around his neck with her sword and called him the “fate-defying one Yunyan Pavilion has awaited for three hundred years.” The courtesan Su Qingyi of the Red Sleeve House wrapped her handkerchief around his bleeding wound, while the bewitching fragrance drifting from her sleeve concealed half a sentence: “The soul-stealing art is passed down only among blood relatives.”

When he took a lightning strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator while still in the Body Tempering Realm, only to swallow the bolt into his dantian; when he brought down the elders hunting him while still in the Qi Condensation Realm, making them cry out in terror, “This madman means to defy the Heavenly Dao!”; everyone finally realized that the abandoned baby left in the Sword Grave had already forged the words “crippled meridians” into a blade sharp enough to pierce the heavens.

The remnant soul of an ancient war god awakened in his sea of consciousness, while the laws of the Heavenly Dao shattered into light within his meridians.
