Tales of the Void's Mystical World

The Xuantian Continent is vast and boundless, and dynasties rise and fall like the turning of a lantern. For three thousand years, beyond the reach of ordinary people, the Heavenly Dao has shown signs of collapse.

The Great Xuan Dynasty flourishes in the path of cultivation, with sects standing everywhere. Perched among the mountains of the Xuantian Continent’s southern region, the Qingyun Sect is one of the most prominent orthodox immortal sects within a radius of ten thousand li. The sect is divided into inner disciples, outer disciples, and servants, with strict ranks and an enormous gulf between them. Countless millions of seekers fight tooth and nail for a place on the path to immortality.

Shen Qingxuan, a servant disciple with mediocre spiritual roots, has been stuck at the first level of Qi Guidance after three years in the sect. Bullied and scorned by all, he’s a laughingstock and a good-for-nothing.

During a day’s labor, he happens upon an ancient jade disk buried in the soil of a wasteland: the Origin Returning Jade Disk. It has no earth-shattering power, but it can purify spiritual energy, deduce cultivation techniques, and strengthen one’s foundation. A single day of secluded cultivation with it is worth a hundred days of hard work for anyone else.

From then on, Shen Qingxuan lies low in the servant quarters, enduring humiliation and steadily honing his cultivation through secluded meditation. The world laughs at him for being mediocre and useless, unaware that he’s undergone one astonishing transformation after another, hidden from all eyes.

At the outer-sect tournament, he makes a stunning debut, sweeping aside the outer sect’s prodigies as a dark horse. During a journey into ancient ruins, he secretly claims a thousand-year-old inheritance and advances in both alchemy and martial arts. On the inner sect’s Dragon-and-Tiger Ranking, he challenges opponents above his level, and a single finger strike that shatters the void stuns the entire crowd.

A hidden dragon waits in the abyss, biding its time to soar. By the time everyone realizes that the boy they once looked down on has been utterly transformed, he has already embarked on the road to the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
