After transmigrating into a cultivation world as a good-for-nothing, Lin Chen awakens the [Spirit Source Dao Embryo], which lets him extract lost "source marks" from the remains of all things.
A rusted ancient sword conceals a sword art that can cleave the heavens. A withered dragon corpse retains the power of a true dragon. A broken jade pendant even preserves the memories of an ancient immortal maiden... What others see as ruins is a treasure trove where he can forge an unsurpassed Dao foundation.
When the entire sect mocks him for ruining his future by guarding the Burial Artifact Valley, Lin Chen quietly reaches out to the ancient immortal corpse at the bottom of the valley, the one no one dares approach.
[Extracting "Immortal King's Annihilation Source Mark"... Dao Foundation Forging Progress: 1/36]
From then on, his every realm exceeds the limits of the Heavenly Dao: ten levels of Qi Refining, eighteen levels of Foundation Establishment, thirty-six turns of the Golden Core... Until the day nine layers of tribulation lightning descend for him, and the broken path to immortality is restored because of him. Only then do the Myriad Worlds suddenly realize that this so-called good-for-nothing has long since left all living beings far behind, at the very starting point of myth.
