Rising from Poverty: Sweeping the City with Divine Beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Lin Ye, a poor young man from a mountain village, fails the college entrance exam. Determined to support his elderly grandparents, he heads to the city to make a living.

Just as he endures contempt and repeated humiliation, the jade pendant passed down through his family suddenly awakens, unlocking the orthodox legacy of the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas!

He cultivates the Art of the Myriad Spirits of the Mountains and Seas and is joined by four divine beasts: the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Bifang, the Azure Ox, and Bai Ze. He also discovers countless treasures of heaven and earth, including Zhuyu, Migu, and the Fusang Spirit Tree.

By day, he struggles at the bottom of city life, starts a business, turns his fortunes around, sweeps through the business world, and reaches the pinnacle of wealth;

At the same time, he cuts down evil cultivators from abroad, guards China’s spiritual ley lines, suppresses evil in every direction, and protects the peace of the land.

His childhood sweetheart, a cold and beautiful CEO, a mountain-and-sea spirit maiden, and a mysterious powerhouse from the authorities accompany him, each drawn into a tangled romance with him.

From a poor young man with nothing to his name to a business tycoon wielding immense power;

From an ordinary mortal to a Chinese guardian feared across the mountains and seas.

In this life, he will let down neither his ancestors, the women who love him, the divine beasts, nor China!

Even the poor can ascend to the heavens. One encounter with the mountains and seas can turn the world upside down!
