A Broken Bowl's Questions for the Immortals

A cracked bowl, an abandoned genius, and a defiant journey from dust to the stars.

Three years ago, Lin Yuan was Qingyang City's most dazzling genius. At fifteen, he had reached the third level of Body Tempering and become engaged to Liu Qingyue, the city's foremost beauty. During a family trial, he was ambushed and his meridians shattered, leaving him a cripple. His family cast him aside, his fiancée was forced to break off their engagement, and even his own younger brother took everything from him.

Driven from his home on a rainy night, he fell into Soulbreak Cliff. At the brink of death, he found a damaged, cracked bowl in an ancient cave. It looked unremarkable, but could turn ordinary water into spirit liquid, and concealed the astonishing legacy of the ancient Star Sect. With the bowl and the Nine-Turn Star Art, Lin Yuan set foot on the path of immortality once more, tempering his mortal body into a starbone and rising from obscurity.

But the bowl's origins are bound up in ancient secrets: his father's mysterious death, the stellar legacy hidden in a jade pendant, and the blood feud carried by a mysterious girl named Xing'er, whose family was wiped out. One mystery after another comes to light. The feuding clans of Qingyang City are only the beginning. The world beyond is far wider, and far more perilous. The Flowing Cloud Sect, the Bloodfiend Sect, and various other powers are locked in a tangled struggle. Ancient secret realms, sect ruins, and battlefields of antiquity await his exploration.
