Defy Fate with the Qian Kun Cauldron, Burn the Heavens

Author: Wang Tianyu. “Those who defy fate must use their blood to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Bing was the legitimate heir of Linzhou's foremost cultivation clan. At the age of three, he witnessed his entire family slaughtered by the mysterious organization known as the Four Sects. On the brink of death, he was rescued by Long Hai, the Qingyang Daoist of Qingyang Daoist Hall, who took him on as his personal disciple. Over the next fifteen years, Li Bing learned the Lightning Invocation Art and the Heart Sutra of Defying Fate, unaware that his bloodline concealed fragments of the Fate-Changing Stone, capable of rewriting the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Nor did he know that Master Long Hai had always kept half of a bloodstained Heaven's Will Token hidden in his sleeve, a key piece of evidence in the massacre that destroyed Li Bing's family.

On the day he descended the mountain, Li Bing encountered Su Qingxue at its foot. The young woman was being hunted by the Three Yin Cult, and the silver lotus hairpin at her temple was identical to a keepsake left by Li Bing's mother. When he swung his sword and cleaved through the killers' mist, he triggered the Fate-Defying Mark dormant between his brows. Far away, amid the ruins of the Immortal Crane Palace, the Four Sects' elders watched him through the Mirror of the Heavenly Dao. “The pawn in the eightieth-thousandth cycle has finally moved.”

Thus began a contest revolving around the Fate-Changing Stone, the Fate-Defying Sword, and the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. With every layer of truth Li Bing uncovered, he found himself closer to his destiny as the one who would defy fate. He had to avenge his family, but he also had to carve a bloody path of “my fate is mine to command” beneath the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, for every soul unwilling to be enslaved.
