The Yan Emperor's Record of Seeking the Dao

Story Synopsis:

In the Great Yan Dynasty, martial prowess reigns supreme. The seventh prince, Murong Xuanheng, is frail and sickly, keeping a low profile and regarded by all as a disgrace to the royal family. No one knows that every night, he practices a mysterious art of unknown origin. A royal trial called the "Hunt" thrusts him from a quiet corner of the palace into the heart of the storm. When murderous intent emerges, he stops hiding. One dazzling strike of his sword, and he sets out on a thorny path with cunning as his shield and cultivation as his spear. Amid the treacherous imperial court and the cultivation world crowded with sects, he will uncover the truth behind his mother's death, trample those who regard him as an ant beneath his feet, and claim the supreme path to immortality that no one dares even dream of.
