The Spirit Pivot Rings Out

At the fifth watch, before dawn, the mountain mist had yet to clear.

At the foot of Qingwu Mountain, in a small village outside the Twilight Azure Sect, a thin young figure was already drawing water from a well. He had no spiritual power and could not manipulate objects from afar. He didn’t even dare approach the sect’s protective barrier. Sweat dripped onto the muddy ground by his feet.

His name was Li Changming, the son of an outer-sect laborer from the Twilight Azure Sect. He had a spiritual root, or more precisely, a complete five-element spiritual root.

But in this cultivation sect, where a person’s status depended on the quality of their spiritual root, he was just a “good-for-nothing who couldn’t cultivate.”
