[A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality] [Cultivation] [No System] [No transmigration] [Decisive and ruthless] [Play the pig to eat the tiger]
Niu Tianli, a boy from a mountain village, was born with an astonishing spiritual root, but the power of his Immortal Eye bloodline left him unable to cultivate.
To save his grandfather's remnant soul, he joins Zhengyang Peak, the poorest and most run-down sect around.
His master, He Pingchuan, lays down just one rule.
“Cultivators today all pursue the Dao of heartlessness, severing every bond and casting aside all loyalty.
They say the Heavenly Dao is impartial and treats all things like straw dogs. They say the Heavenly Dao has no feelings, and only by abandoning all affection can one become an immortal.
But here at Zhengyang Peak, we insist on entering the Dao through emotion and proving our way to immortality through honor.
We won't be bound by dogma or restricted by rules!
Be kind, but never without a backbone!
Cherish your bonds, but don't be weak!”
The outside world mocks Zhengyang Peak as a rabble of misfits and sneers that the Dao of emotion is base and worthless.
Niu Tianli grips the Soul-Nourishing Jade.
“A dragon's reverse scale means death to anyone who touches it!
Heartlessness is your excuse for shirking responsibility. Gratitude and honor are my Dao heart!
Whoever lays a hand on someone under my protection, be they god or demon, righteous or wicked,
I'll kill them, even if they're one of the immortals or Buddhas across the heavens…”
The young Niu Tianli looks up, his eyes burning with flames that could incinerate the heavens.
“Kill them all!”
