Synopsis

A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

When spiritual roots become the ironclad law of the cultivation world, three mortals dismissed by the Heavenly Dao as lowly outcasts struggle in the clumsiest ways to break through the barriers of cultivation: a bastard son with mixed spiritual roots, a sect disciple cast out under suspicion, and a talisman cultivator branded a good-for-nothing for defying convention.

• Luo Chengyuan spent ten years chopping wood in his family’s kitchen. He comprehended sword momentum among the bubbles of a spirit spring, carved a hundred thousand sword marks into a riverbank with wood chips, and was determined to make his mixed spiritual roots draw forth their first wisp of spiritual energy, even if his meridians burst and bled.

• Xiao Yan spent eight years sweeping the graves in a sword cemetery, feeding a rusty sword with blood from his fingertips and reading sword intent in the cracks of broken blades. Though he knew he carried the bloodline of a demonic sect, he insisted on carving out a path that was neither righteous nor evil as a “half-demon.”

• Chu Mo collected a thousand discarded talismans at the Myriad Talisman Sect. His left hand was scorched and scarred a hundred times from making talismans, and he infused the power of mortal conviction into talisman paper. The “Peace Talisman” he drew on coarse paper was warmer than one made with spirit stones. Even when the sect put out a warrant for him, he was determined to protect the wheat-scented villages.

This is a cultivation world with no System and no miraculous encounters. Refining qi takes years of tempering one’s spiritual meridians; establishing a foundation requires blood to secure one’s core; fragments of cultivation manuals must be pried from the cracks in coffin boards. Epiphanies lie in the sway of carrying water, the trails in the snow as one sweeps graves, and the burnt smell of making talismans.

When immortal sects decide who lives and dies according to the quality of their spiritual roots, and demonic sects prey on mortals for their “noble bloodlines,” three “good-for-nothings,” each carrying their own Dao, tread a path through the dust of the Xancang Realm that will astonish generations to come. The sword will cut through class barriers, talismans will save all mortals, and the heart of the sword will rewrite the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

It turns out that the sharpest sword has never been a spiritual weapon, but the backbone of mortals who refuse to bow their heads.

It turns out that the most powerful talisman has never been a high-grade one, but the conviction forged from countless “impossibilities.”
