The cultivation world entered the age of spiritual-energy industry thirty thousand years ago.
The Heavenly Court Group monopolizes the ascension routes, the Myriad Realms App sells cultivation manuals at exorbitant prices, and copyright enforcement squads hunt down cultivators who pirate them.

His enemy is no longer a single sect, but the entire system that has ruled for thirty thousand years.
And what he cultivates isn't immortality.
It's a revolution for freedom and choice.
