The Mortal Stairway of Nine Lives

The autobiography of a cultivator.

I endured a thousand lifetimes of tribulations for myself; I forged my own demonic obstacles through the nine mysteries.

A pillow's worth of mortal life is all a dream, and every chance encounter is left to fate.

Shadows of past lives sink into the bones of this one; souls from other worlds intertwine with the bonds of this life.

The forms of those long gone are no strangers, and our future selves share the same origin.

No one knows how many lifetimes of obsession lie within that Great Luo sword embryo, or how many years of prejudice are hidden in the words “righteous path.”

I fell to inner demons and did everything I could to escape another self's pursuit; I said farewell to old friends and fought through countless hardships to kill another self.

After thirty thousand years climbing the mortal ladder through nine lifetimes, an ordinary person finally ascended to become an immortal.
