Lin Chen, born with a pure wood spirit root, leaves the mortal world and enters the Qingyun Sect as an inner disciple of Green Bamboo Peak.
From an innocent boy at the fourth level of Qi Refining to a seeker pursuing the path to immortality, he tempers himself in the sect's secret realms and grows amid conflicts between the righteous and demonic factions. After enduring inner demons, sect wars, and turmoil in the Southern Border, he breaks through the realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, one step at a time.
The nine peaks of Qingyun conceal mysteries, the four halls are rife with power struggles, and ancient secrets gradually come to light as the conflict between the righteous and demonic factions grows ever more intense.
With a humble body and a heart set on seeking the Dao, he cuts through obstacles and shatters illusions, forging a path to immortality all his own among countless cultivators. In the end, he proves the Great Dao and makes his name resound across the Three Realms.
It's a very traditional cultivation novel, but with a very novel setting. It's not one of those countless novels where the protagonist transmigrates into a minor character and levels up by defeating monsters with the help of a system. It's quite good; it brings back the feeling of reading cultivation novels back in the day, but without being cliché. Is the author planning to combine cultivation and political intrigue themes? I feel like the author might be thinking of that.
