Also known as After the Heavens Fell, Spirit Realm Walker, The Corpse Retriever, Stellar Transformation (just kidding), I Emptied the Entire Cultivation World, and Star-Extending Dao Lord
When spiritual power is no longer pure, and spiritual roots become a curse, is becoming a cultivator still something everyone yearns for?
Chen Nian has the misfortune of possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root and no other options. To stay alive, he can only charge headlong down this road in the dark.
Then he discovers that his spiritual sense space can bring pure spirit stones and plants back from the countless spirit realms...
A rumor soon spreads through the cultivation world.
The spirit realms are yielding less.
The spirit realms have become more dangerous.
People in the spirit realms are suddenly passing out for no reason, then waking up stripped of everything.
The final moment of evacuation has become the most dangerous time in the spirit realms.
Chen Nian doesn't understand what is causing these changes. Whenever someone brings them up, he just stares at them blankly.
"I just picked it up!"
"I thought nobody wanted it."
"How is that fair to an honest guy like me?!"
As his cultivation keeps advancing, Chen Nian's tune changes a little.
"Senior, please accept this small token of my gratitude."
"Young friend, wait. This opportunity is too great for you to handle."
"So what?! I'm not eating beef!"
"You insignificant ant! You think you can buy your life with what you stole from me? How amusing."
"I told you the spirit realm was full of danger. Are you out of your mind?"
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh!"
When Chen Nian finally looks up from his headlong sprint, he realizes he has long since reached the summit.
And the cultivation world of the Age of Declining Dharma is about to meet its strictest father yet.
