I Have No Spiritual Root, Yet the Entire Immortal Alliance Hunts Me

Spiritual roots are the greatest scam in the world!

Fan Shan is the lowest of the low, a mine slave.

Yet deep underground, he hears the lament of heaven and earth as its spiritual veins are drained dry.

Cultivators say, "Spiritual roots are heaven's decree. Mortals are no more than ants."

Fan Shan laughs. "Then I shall use this ant's body to give heaven and earth a heart!"

And so...

He crawls out of the waste pit, comprehending not immortal arts, but the principles that govern all things.

He befriends not mighty cultivators, but the demons, spirits, and beasts who have also been plundered.

What he passes down is not a spiritual lineage, but a true path that lets mortals hear the earth and command wind and fire.

While the immortal sects raise their spiritual-root rankings high and harvest the masses,

Fan Shan lights the first flame that needs no spiritual roots amid the ruins.

"They cultivate immortality by plundering heaven and earth."

"I cultivate... the truth of knowing one's heart and seeing one's nature."

In this life, I will bow to no immortals and worship no gods.

With this mortal body, I will open the gates of heaven for all those without spiritual roots...

And bury the immortals and gods!
