Seeking the Dao with a False Spirit Root

Lu Yuan, a youth from a fishing village, possesses false spiritual roots and has little hope of cultivating immortality. A fortuitous encounter brings him a mysterious little cauldron and a fragmentary cultivation manual, which enable him to purify spiritual energy! Relying on the cauldron, he quietly devotes himself to cultivation. But in a secret realm, he reveals his secret while saving a close friend, provoking the sect to hunt him down and forcing him to flee for his life.

He unexpectedly ascends to the Spirit Realm and is swept into the struggle for supremacy among the myriad races. His former love, Ye Qingqiu, turns against her own heart and points her sword at an old friend. His shrewd brother, Mo Huaiyuan, navigates the world of commerce and secretly helps him through crises. Meanwhile, relying on the little cauldron, Lu Yuan defies the heavens. His cultivation advances, but each breakthrough brings a tribulation twice as powerful. He also discovers that the cauldron is a fragment of a supreme treasure from the Immortal Realm, attracting the Dao Ancestor's greed.

From the mortal world to the Immortal Realm, the struggle for the Great Dao is fraught with deadly dangers at every turn. Close friends become enemies, and brothers become sacrifices. Holding a fragment of Creation in his hand, Lu Yuan faces ever more deadly tribulations and the lure of ultimate power. As he defies fate, what is he really fighting for: eternal life, or the person he truly is?
