Azure Clouds Break Through the World

Lin Feng, an ordinary boy from Qingshi Town, is admitted to Qingyun Sect, the cultivation world's foremost sect, as a servant disciple thanks to a faint spiritual root. In the sect's rigid hierarchy, he endures endless disdain. Then, deep in a dry well, he unexpectedly finds a mysterious bronze fragment, awakening the incomplete cultivation art Nine Turns Soul Refinement Art. His seemingly mediocre four-element spiritual root erupts with an astonishing, heaven-defying ability to devour spiritual energy.

From the hardships of tending the vegetable plots on the back mountain to the dazzling swordplay of the outer sect trials; from tempering his Golden Core on the tribulation platform to guarding the gates at Nascent Soul stage in Wangyue City. He uses his affinity with plants to identify spiritual herbs, secret soul arts to see through illusions, and the bronze fragment to protect himself through tribulations, honing his sword heart amid the conflict between immortals and demons. When his mentor is falsely accused and killed, he storms the halls with sword in hand to expose the sect's hidden culprits. When the passage to the Spirit Realm opens, he and his closest friends sneak across perilous lands in search of the Dao. When the tribulation of ascension descends, an illusory image of the Qiankun Cauldron appears to shield him.

Dark currents surge beneath the sect's power struggles, evil arts ravage Heavenly Demon Valley, the myriad demons of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge are sometimes foes and sometimes allies, and the Spirit Realm battlefield is a place of life-and-death combat. With Su Qing's formations and Zhao Hu's iron fists at his side, Lin Feng follows the path of defying fate and cultivating with an ordinary root, smashing through Qingyun's barriers. He shoulders the hopes of humanity amid an apocalyptic war between immortals and demons, finally shattering the void beneath nine bolts of celestial lightning and leaving behind a legend that spans the Three Realms. It turns out the so-called Heavenly Dao is never decided by one's aptitude. All that matters is who can keep their sword in hand to the very end and shatter the clouds above!
