From Mortal to Saint

Gu Qingxiao, the son of a mountain hunter, was born among the floating mountains of Jiuzhou. Though mortal in body, he bore the fading image of the Heavenly Question Stele.

As a child, he watched his father die at the jaws of a demon beast. He embarked alone on a seemingly hopeless path of cultivation, only to be turned away by the sect.

While sneaking into the library of ancient texts one night, he unexpectedly acquired a golden finger that let him glimpse the thoughts and inscriptions of ancient cultivators.

By studying the stele, he grasped the Dao, broke through the shackles of cultivation techniques, and made his true qi surge like a mighty river.

Others could cultivate for ten years without making the slightest progress. He opened his meridians in a month and reached the threshold of Foundation Building in three years.

From an outer-sect servant to someone who outshone all his peers, he defied the heavens and changed his fate with a mortal body.

In the end, he would ascend to the Immortal Realm, take control of the spirit veins, reconcile immortals and demons, and shatter the cycle of life and death.
