[Renegade Immortal fanfiction + no System + native cultivation progression + late-story twist]
A beginner sets sail! This takes place ten thousand years after the later events of Renegade Immortal, not in the same era!
“Those who follow the natural order remain mortal; those who defy it become immortal... But this world never gives mortals a choice!”
Young Ling Yun has mediocre talent but a will as unyielding as iron. The cruelty of the cultivation world, however, gives him not a moment's respite. In a single day, a man in black robes descends, and the Lin Family Fort runs red with blood!
“Stubborn fool. I'll know once I search your soul.” Those icy words become his final nightmare. His loved ones perish, his home is destroyed, and he and his dying sister fall into an abyss thousands of feet deep.
Is death inevitable?
No! As he teeters on the brink of death, the ancestral bronze fragment awakens after drinking his blood, bursting with a faint but tenacious power. A fragment of the Earth-Deriving Mirror becomes his only light in the darkness.
“Big brother... Are we going to die?” “No! I'll get you out of here alive... And then every last one of our enemies will pay in blood!”
Bearing his blood feud and the burden of his loved ones, he claws his way out of the desperate situation and enters an even more perilous cultivation world. Mysterious enemies in black robes surround him, while sect rivalries bring danger at every turn. A broken mirror, a battered body, and an unyielding resolve are all the strength he has.
As he gazes toward the great city of Qinglan, hope and deadly peril arrive together. Can this son of humble mortals wield the broken mirror and carve a bloody path to defy heaven and change his fate through countless calamities?
