Mortal cultivation style + no System + no transmigration + logical plot + no goody-two-shoes hero + no wanton killing + revenge is always served.
Three years ago, twelve-year-old Xiao Jue possessed a top-grade metal spiritual root. After just one year of hard cultivation, he advanced straight to the tenth level of Qi Refining, becoming a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy of the Qingyun Sect.
He should have continued on to Foundation Establishment and reached the pinnacle of the immortal path. But on the crucial day of his seclusion, he was ambushed by a masked assailant.
His top-grade metal spiritual root was shattered, and all his cultivation was destroyed. In an instant, he fell from grace and became a cripple despised by everyone.
The sect abandoned him, but fortunately, an old Daoist rescued him.
For three years, all he did was pore over ancient texts day and night and quietly temper his character.
During this time, he also discovered a mysterious cultivation art called the Spirit Transformation Art.
Several times, he tried to cultivate again using the Spirit Transformation Art, but his shattered spiritual root made it impossible.
By a twist of fate, Xiao Jue discovered that hidden beneath his broken metal spiritual root was a secret spiritual root never before seen in all the ages: the Severing Spiritual Root.
But this root was utterly dormant. It could not draw in spiritual energy or be cultivated normally, leaving him doomed to remain a cripple.
The opportunistic lackeys who once flocked around him had now grown much stronger. They came to provoke him, closing in step by step in a bid to wipe him out and eliminate any future threat.
Driven to the brink, he pretended to give in and bided his time. Seizing an opening, he struck ruthlessly and used the Spirit Transformation Art to pierce his enemy’s dantian. To his surprise, he devoured the enemy’s spiritual root, and at last discovered the secret of the Spirit Transformation Art.
Witness a fallen prodigy wield an unparalleled Severing Spiritual Root and walk a unique path of cultivation, defying the mortal world.
