In the Xuan Yuan Realm, cultivators are divided into three schools: Body Cultivators temper their bones until they are as hard as steel, able to split boulders with a single punch; Artifact Cultivators wield weapons as their edge, capable of cleaving mountains and rivers with countless blades. Only Mind Cultivators use spiritual power to shake the world, yet their impossibly high threshold and scarce resources have made them a legend found once in a thousand.
Tian Yu, a good-for-nothing high school student declared to have “no spiritual root,” scrapes by under the fists of Body Cultivators and bows before the sharp edge of Artifact Cultivators, until a meteorite from beyond the heavens shatters his ordinary life. The strongest “Mind Core System” in the entire universe awakens deep within his consciousness.
Others painstakingly cultivate for ten years just to obtain a wisp of Condensing Spirit Mist. He only has to run his fingertip over scrap metal to transform it into the source of cultivation. Others exhaust every resource and still struggle to condense a trace of spiritual power. He draws on joy, anger, sorrow, and delight, and his mental power surges like a rising tide.
“Spiritual Shield” lets him withstand a Body Cultivator’s mighty punch. “Mind Control of Objects” lets him toy with an Artifact Cultivator’s sharp weapons. “Mind Reading” sees through schemes and deceit. “Spiritual Domain” crushes countless foes.
When he enters the uncharted realm of Mind Cultivation as a “good-for-nothing,” leaving everyone aghast, he discovers that ultimate power lies not in sinew and bone, nor in weapons, but in a single thought.
The arrival of Su Muyue is like a faint light illuminating the path he walks alone. This cool, aloof girl, who bears an ancient secret, is both his “spiritual anchor” in cultivation and his vulnerable spot and armor in the fight against darkness.
From schoolyard bullying to covert urban conflicts, from the ruins of Condensing Mist Valley to battlefields deep in the starry sky, Tian Yu grips the Mind Core hidden between his brows and gradually uncovers the truth behind the decline of Mind Cultivation, breaking the shackles of resource monopolies.
“They say Mind Cultivators are just a legend?”
“Then I’ll become one.”
