Against the Blood Tide

The Tianxuan Continent is divided into five regions: the Eastern Region, dotted with sects; the Western Region, a vast expanse of deserts and wastelands; the Southern Region, overrun by monsters; the Northern Region, frozen for thousands of miles; and the Central Region, ruled by the Eight Great Clans. The Central Region stands above the other four, and ordinary people can spend their entire lives without ever setting foot there. A bloodstained jade pendant sets a young man on a path that defies fate. From a remote town to the heights of the heavens, he will reclaim everything he has lost with his own hands! Cultivation levels: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Deity Transformation → Tribulation Transcendence → Great Ascension → True Immortal → Heavenly Emperor. Each realm is divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages, with some also having a great perfection stage. The higher one’s cultivation, the longer one’s lifespan and the greater the gap in strength. Power structure: The Eight Great Clans of the Central Region: Su, Qin, Chu, Zhao, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang. With legacies spanning ten thousand years, they are the most powerful forces on the continent. The Four Great Sacred Lands of the Eastern Region: Second only to the clans, they control the cultivation world of the East. First-rate sects: Such as the Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect. Small clans: Such as the Lin family, where the protagonist comes from, secluded in a corner with limited resources.
