[Cultivation Stages: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Core Formation → Nascent Soul → Deity Transformation]
Along the long road of cultivation, I witnessed countless figures rise and fall in the currents of fate.
There was the leader of the righteous sects, whose heart embraced all living things, yet who could not escape factional strife within his sect or the shackles of his ideals;
There was the peerless beauty, a heaven-blessed genius whose brilliance streaked across the sky like a meteor, making countless heroes fall at her feet;
There was the demonic overlord, ruling his domain and stirring the world with his overwhelming power;
There were also wicked, unorthodox cultivators, acting without restraint and weaving plots in the shadows, treating all living things as pawns;
And there were ancient great demons, lying dormant through the ages as they awaited upheaval in the world;
Then there was the mastermind hidden in the deepest shadows, watching coldly and placing his pieces in silence, with heaven and earth as his chessboard...
I watched the world rise and fall, the tides ebb and flow, and I too was caught up in it all.
I, Xiao Lian, had only just entered the Immortal Sect when I was branded a “good-for-nothing” of the lowest grade, with my path to immortality already cut off.
No one knew that I had awakened in obscurity, or that the ancient cauldron in my sea of consciousness carried the origins of a [Primordial Divine Artifact].
From that moment on, I cultivated no myriad techniques and paid homage to neither immortals nor Buddhas. Instead, I followed a unique path of immortal artifact refining.
I forged my Dao foundation with the [Lihuo Huntian Hammer] and refined my Golden Core in the [Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace].
Immortals and gods of the heavens, demons and devils of myriad worlds, all trembled before the divine artifacts I forged.
This is the story of a boy with the lowest-grade spiritual root who proves the Dao through artifact crafting, witnesses the tides rise and fall on his long journey to immortality, and ultimately takes control of heaven and earth.
