The Everlasting Ashes: A Mortal’s Journey to Heaven

His life is like a guttering candle, his existence as insignificant as dust. Yet with this ember of a body, he will kindle flames that scorch the heavens and carve a bloody path for mortals to ascend! Lu Chen, a youth from a small village in Yunze, bears an incurable hidden injury and a spiritual root as worthless as dregs. The path to immortality should be beyond his reach. But when disaster strikes and all hope seems lost, he catches a glimpse of the tiniest secret of heaven and earth: a gift known as the Spirit Eyes of Microscopic Insight. They cannot move mountains or fill seas, but they can reveal the flow of spiritual energy, discern the patterns of spells, and analyze the tiniest details of all things! In the Tianyan Realm, where spiritual energy grows ever more sluggish and the Great Dao is a difficult path, these eyes become his only leverage against fate. From struggling to survive in the mire at the bottom of the rogue cultivator world to enduring hardship as a menial disciple on an immortal sect's service peak, he uses his spirit eyes as a guide to refine the minutest spells, brew unique counterfeit pills, and cultivate rare, unusual vines. He fights for every step in the cracks between scorn and scheming. Each breakthrough is like walking on thin ice; every resource he accumulates is stained with sweat and blood. And yet, a mayfly dares to look up at the gates of heaven! Just as he establishes his Foundation, war breaks out across the realms. With his spirit eyes, he sees through the fatal weakness in the enemy formation and launches a raid on their rear, earning the name "Formation Breaker" and shaking the borderlands. An ancient ruin opens, revealing rare treasures that draw powerful figures from every faction. When faced with the Bloodshadow Tower Master's overwhelming demonic might, the terrifying edge of foreign powers, and the merciless encirclement of immortal sect elites... He chooses to face death and fight for life! He detonates an ancient seal, burying every enemy! Offering himself as a sacrifice, he seeks to knock open a sliver of a gateway to immortality at the end of this destruction! This is a mortal's rise, a speck of dust challenging the Heavenly Dao! In The Embers of Immortality: A Mortal's Record of Treading Heaven, see how a youth whose life is as fleeting as a mayfly forges a path to immortality through countless tribulations and shatters the nine layers of heaven.
