[Traditional Xianxia] [No System] [Single Sword Cultivator] [Mortal's Journey]
[Quasi-Ensemble Cast] [Long Main Storyline] [Growth-Focused Protagonist]
[Cultivating immortality, swordsmanship, and the heart. The protagonist cultivates neither alchemy nor talismans, only the sword. Early on, he acts rashly and is a bit of a slacker.]
The Heavenly Pillar is about to fall, the Great Dao has vanished, and people's hearts and the ways of the world are in turmoil.
In these troubled times, some worry for all under heaven, some scheme to protect themselves, and others wait for their chance, ready to seize enormous profits when chaos descends.
Twenty-six years ago, the Demon Venerable appeared in the Eastern Extremity. The Heavenly Pillar shuddered and threatened to split, and the divine sword "Ze Yin" fell into the mortal realm.
The pure and the turbid were turned upside down, immortals and demons plunged into chaos, and the innocent were caught in the crossfire.
Twenty-six years later, a petty thief in the Western Wastes, with only four spiritual roots and half a broken sword in his arms, caused the spirit-testing monument to crack and the heavens to tremble.
An Immortal Lord descended from the clouds, just like the flames of that calamity long ago.
Mend the heavens, or destroy the world?
Nothing is more ironic than forcing the mandate of heaven onto an ant.
P.S. The title will be changed later. I originally planned to make "stealing a little something" an innovative hook, but it doesn't seem quite right, so I'll probably only keep some of those plot elements.
