A Mortal Bone Reaching for the Heavens

[No System, traditional cultivation fantasy, a decisive and ruthless protagonist, and a mortal’s journey.] Chen Fan, a village boy with an unyielding Dao heart, enters an immortal sect but is reduced to menial work because of his mediocre aptitude. At the bottom, where resources are scarce, he sharpens his resolve in the mortal world and carefully seeks every opportunity, however small. From making a name for himself in the outer-sect tournament to traveling across the Nine Provinces and surviving one deadly ordeal after another, Chen Fan relies on the body of a mortal and the power of his wits, advancing cautiously through secret-realm treasures and struggles between Dao lineages. When he forms his Golden Core and makes a name for himself, he gradually begins to uncover the mysteries of the ancient primordial world. The road to immortality is long, and his Dao heart reaches for the heavens. See how an ordinary mortal carves out his own path to eternal life in this vast and turbulent world of cultivation.
