[Sinister cultivation + dynasty hunts evil + growth-focused + no saintly protagonist] In the Great Yan Dynasty, the uncanny run rampant!
...It wasn't until shortly after I truly entered the world of cultivation that I learned the world's hidden truth... Everything I had once proclaimed so boldly... was now worth less than a scrap of paper.
…We are descendants of ancient humans, carrying on their legacy while barely clinging to life.
We are not the only ones. In this vast cosmos, steeped in uncanny power, there are countless other ancient and formidable beings.
The endless graveyard in the mist-shrouded realm, the reflected cave world that does not exist in reality, the Corpse-King Dynasty buried beneath the snow-covered ice fields, the lightless land beyond the Abyss, the plague-stricken folk of the Rotting Kingdom where divine pestilence spreads...
They are the purest evil abominations, as well as our distant comrades, lost to corruption.
In this cursed world, survival is the most extravagant of wishes. To live through endless peril, all one can do is clutch the ancient human-skin scroll that feeds on blood and lifespan.
Old-fashioned plot, nothing special
What rubbish.
