Born without a spiritual root, he was condemned to a lifetime without the chance to cultivate immortality.
By a stroke of luck, the young man obtained an Enlightenment Stone. Using its power to forcibly absorb spiritual energy, he trained bitterly for three years and entered the Spirit Gathering realm, scraping by at the bottom of his sect.
But during a bloody trial, the stone’s spiritual power ran dry and it shattered completely. Its spirit went into an eternal slumber. From that day on, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth could no longer enter his body. If he followed the rules of the Heavenly Dao, he would never make another ounce of progress.
The iron law of the cultivation world, unchanged for millennia: the stronger one’s spiritual root, the more Heaven’s favor one receives. Mortal-boned cultivators are suppressed by the laws of the world from birth, forever denied the Great Dao.
If there is no path to immortality by following Heaven, then I will defy all living things and forge my own.
He cultivates no spiritual energy, seizes no opportunities, and pursues no higher realms. Instead, he draws on the power of mountains, rivers, and streams, and borrows the fortune of plants and living creatures. He makes all living things his Dao and all beings his foundation.
