Synopsis

As spiritual qi revival begins and myths return, a world of low-level martial arts, sealed away for ages, slowly awakens as an ancient cultivation civilization.

In a rainy-night ambush, high school student Niu Sangao awakens on the brink of death, mysterious golden patterns appearing on his right arm. He becomes one of the “key bearers.” He has no idea that the blood in his veins carries the three-hundred-year-old wish of a family sworn to protect the world, nor that the so-called “spiritual qi revival” is actually the aftershock of an ancient seal periodically loosening and leaking energy.

As fragments of the Primordial Qi-Introduction Manual, Nine Palace bone shards, and Earth Vein Fiends appear one after another, Niu Sangao is forced into a fateful game spanning three hundred years:

The nine keys must be assembled, and the seal reinforced with a blood sacrifice.

Ancient inscriptions foretell the ultimate fate of the key bearers: once all nine have gathered, they must sacrifice their bloodlines to strengthen the Nine Palace Seal, which is on the verge of collapse, and grant humanity another three hundred years of precarious peace.

But Niu Sangao refuses to become a sacrifice.

He stubbornly believes in the line of tiny writing worn away by time, hidden deep within the inscription:

“Yet of the fifty paths of Heaven’s evolution, one escapes. Prove the Dao with a mortal heart, and fate can be broken.”

From then on, he walks a road no one has ever taken:

· He commands baleful energy with the Earth Vein Seven Kills Art and suppresses inner demons with the Nine Fiends Prison-Subduing Art.

· He allies with the daughter of a family blessed with the Wind-Thunder Sacred Physique, treats a medical student with Mysterious Darkness True Blood, and enlightens a Tibetan child with the Heavenly Thunder Physique.

· He navigates among the fiend cultivators of the Dark Yin Hall, the masterminds of the Mohist Mechanism City, and the modern cultivators of the Dragon Group.

· He gathers bone shards from nine ancient ruins, piecing together the truth buried beneath them.

And he gradually discovers that the so-called “seal” may not be protecting humanity at all,

I’m So Disappointed in Urban Cultivation Novels!

99.9% of urban cultivation novels follow the same formula: an Immortal Emperor (or Immortal Venerable) returns to Earth, and from the start, runs into a classmate who mocks him and invites him to a reunion. He shows off and face-slaps everyone at the reunion, then meets an old man from a powerful family who asks him to treat an illness.
