Synopsis

[Eastern Fantasy and Immortal Cultivation] + [Cultivation World] + [No System] + [Dual Cultivation of Spiritual and Martial Arts] + [Dynastic Rivalry] + [Defying Fate and Challenging Heaven]

Yuanxu is a world unto itself, known as a place of chaos and death.

The cultivation realms in this novel are: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Violet Palace, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, Void Refinement, Unity, and Supreme Sage.

The martial cultivation realms are: Body Tempering, Meridian Opening, Innate, True Essence, True Astral, Carefree, Diamond, Martial Extremity, and Martial Saint (sainthood through the physical body).

Afterward, cultivators who survive the Three Calamities and Six Tribulations can send out their Yin Spirits or ascend as Yang Spirits, reaching the so-called Celestial realm.

Martial cultivators, however, need only reach the Martial Saint realm to break free of Heaven and Earth's shackles.

But ever since the balance of the ancient Heavenly Secrets was disrupted, no one has achieved sainthood through the physical body.

The protagonist cultivates both spiritual and martial arts.

After the ancient war, the Heavenly Dao was shattered!

A young man emerges from Yuanxu, hoping to live an ordinary life.

But then a blood moon fills the sky, and nine streaks of light descend from Heaven.

The young man is swept into one conspiracy after another!

From then on, he cultivates martial arts and fuses them with the immortal path, cultivating both spiritual and martial arts!

He makes primordial energy his foundation and commands the Nine Hells with a single finger;

with his martial body, he shakes the Heavenly Dao, and with an ordinary finger, he severs the cycle of reincarnation.

Humanity and divinity intertwine!

Order and freedom collide!

Watch as the young man swims against the current and fights Heaven for his fate!

I'd like to read something similar to "The Legend of the Dragon King: Misty Clouds Defying Fate".

They're bored at home after just finishing their first semester of college, and their writing style...
