Lin Jin, a youth from humble roots, was born into the Mortal Bone Clan, cursed by the Heavenly Dao. With blocked meridians and a crippled spiritual root, he was reduced to a menial servant of the sect, an ant beneath the cultivators’ feet. When his fellow disciples sneered that “mortal bones are unfit to cultivate immortality,” he picked up a rusted sword blank from a garbage heap and accidentally awakened the Spirit-Devouring Root dormant within him for ten thousand years. Using his flesh and blood as a furnace, he devours the forbidden power of heaven and earth and shatters the shackles of his mortal bones.
