Cultivating Immortality with a Useless Root

He was born with worthless roots and endured endless scorn. Then, when he awakened, he uncovered a shocking conspiracy.

Han Mo, an outcast of the Han clan in Qingxi Town, was judged to have “mortal roots” when his spiritual roots were tested, dooming him to never cultivate immortality. His clan mocked him and his aunt abused him, and he thought he would spend his life farming. That changed when he unexpectedly obtained a mysterious little bronze cauldron...

The cauldron could purify spiritual liquid, devour spiritual energy, and teach him the ancient technique Heaven-Stealing Art. Mortal roots? No, his Heavenly Spiritual Root had simply been sealed!

Ten years of humiliation, undone in a single awakening. The Spirit-Devouring Cult stole his spiritual root, killed his father, and imprisoned his mother. Swearing to avenge this blood feud, he sets out to make them pay.

From menial disciple of the Yunxiao Sect to the Dragon Palace in the Eastern Sea, from a good-for-nothing youth to a powerful cultivator of spiritual springs. A silver-bell girl from Medicine King Valley makes him a promise to meet again in three years, while a girl in red from the Shui family stands by him through countless brushes with death. In the Dragon Palace ruins, he faces the Heavenly Demon’s blood essence and reveals all his trump cards, slaying an evil cultivator with a single sword stroke that summons a thunder dragon.

A thousand-year-old dragon marrow repairs his spiritual root; a mysterious dragon egg hides a fortuitous opportunity. Beneath the Heavenly Abyss, his mother waits in a prison cell. In the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, a divination orb points to the truth.

This is no fairy tale about a good-for-nothing turning his life around. It is the cultivation journey of a young man who tramples fate beneath his feet, one step at a time, with blood and bone.
