On the Ascension Platform, the gray light is a mark of shame.
Beneath the Servant Peak, his spine remains unbowed.
Lin Mo, a village boy with a modest dream, enters the Qingyun Sect, hoping to become an immortal cultivator. But at the Spiritual Root Assessment, he is declared to have a "waste spiritual root." The lifeless gray light, cruel mockery, and icy slap knock him from the clouds into the dirt, leaving him a servant disciple worse off than the pigs in their sty.
Is his path to immortality over? Is the Heavenly Way unfair?
After enduring abuse and experiencing life's bitter and sweet, Lin Mo finds a neglected, incomplete ancient scripture amid the dust of the Scripture Pavilion: Tai Xu Guidance. It offers no easy road, only excruciating pain as his meridians are slashed and his spiritual energy scatters. The world laughs at him as a fool and calls him a "human-shaped sieve," unaware that beneath this "waste body" slumbers an ancient taboo, a body the world itself cannot abide: the Tai Xu Dao Body!
Keeping low is how he sharpens his blade. Humiliation is the whetstone.
At the herb garden, he first displays his cleverness. Strange clues lie hidden in the marks on the stone wall. An ancient bronze ring from an unknown skeleton brings meager resources and a faint glimmer of hope. When he's trampled once again in the sect's junior tournament, Lin Mo resolutely fakes his death and leaves the sect, bearing the brand of "Qingyun's disgrace" as he ventures alone into the savage, deadly wilderness!
Blood and fire sharpen his edge. The hidden dragon rises from the abyss!
On the brink of life and death, Tai Xu awakens for the first time! He draws in spiritual energy like a tide and reaches the late stage of Qi Refining! In the Black Wind Secret Realm, he becomes "Mo Xuan,"
The book is good, and the writing is excellent. It's meant to be savored slowly, not for readers who want to skim through it. It's not the kind of book with simple, easy-to-understand writing style; it's a novel that requires patience to read. If you don't have the patience to read every single word, you'll feel like you haven't retained much of what you read after a few chapters.
