Others undergo tribulation to ascend to immortality. He undergoes it because of an ancestral decree.
The world's spiritual energy has been depleted for three hundred years. The path of cultivation is broken, and people can only train with a limited supply of spirit stones.
Three years ago, the Wang family's ancestor seemed to foresee it all and established a family rule: "The boy born in his generation must be named 'Second Master' and tempered by heavenly lightning to withstand the great calamity."
And so, from the day he was born, Wang Ye became a walking "lightning tribulation trigger." Anyone who called him "Second Master" would be struck by a bolt of tribulation lightning from the Ninth Heaven.
He himself was tough as nails, and only grew stronger with every strike, but everyone around him suffered terribly. To avoid being mistaken for a walking natural disaster, he was forced to change his name to "Wang Ye."
Stranger still, the lightning tribulations had tempered his body to its limits, yet failed to leave even a trace of spiritual energy inside him.
He had a body hardened through training, but his cultivation remained stuck at the Body Tempering stage. He couldn't even manage the most basic feat of drawing spiritual energy into his body.
Until one day...
