I Won’t Take the Chosen One’s Path, I’ll Follow the Path of Defiant Cultivation

In the age of cultivation, there was a rogue cultivator named Qin Ze, the protagonist of this novel. He followed the path of rogue cultivation, only to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao sent down an emissary, who followed its instructions and issued a kill order to the four great nations and sects in this small cultivation world: the Huan Yan Sect, Martial Sect, Sword Sect, and Misty Sect. They were to kill Qin Ze, and whoever captured him would be granted a path to immortality. Facing the siege of numerous sects and three days and nights of pursuit, Qin Ze was driven to Zangmu Ridge, a place beyond even the gods' ability to detect. Hunted all the way there, he seemed doomed to die. The four great sects then joined forces, gravely wounded him, and sent him tumbling into Zangmu Ridge. But Qin Ze discovered that the ridge was an excellent place to cultivate. How will he fare as he uses its concealment and dangers to raise his cultivation and recover from his injuries, alongside the divine artifact he found there, the World-Transforming Cauldron?
