When Su Chen was sixteen, the eldest daughter of the Liu family publicly broke off their engagement.
She gave just two words as her reason: ordinary bones.
In this cultivation world, where spiritual roots determine a person's worth, a mixed spiritual root means being useless, unable to even reach the threshold of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime. Su Chen made no argument. He picked up the marriage contract and returned to the woodshed.
Three days later, a cool, clear female voice spoke from within him:
"Awake? I've been waiting for you for ten thousand years."
The remnant soul of an ancient Dao Ancestor, sealed away for ten thousand years, awakened inside him and revealed a truth the Heavenly Dao had deliberately buried: so-called ordinary bones were actually ancient Chaos Dao Bones, sealed a thousand years ago by the Xuantian Holy Land using the power of the Heavenly Dao, simply because their bearer could stand against the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
From the most lowly label to the most glorious title.
From one person to a crowd.
With an oil lamp and a pair of ordinary bones, he would show everyone on this continent who had been judged "incapable":
Labels are put on you by others. The road is yours to walk.
