Everyone seeks perfection on the path to the Dao, but he alone bears the scars of a broken world.
A hundred years ago, the Profound Rift Tide swept across the land. The young prodigy Shen Ji's profound spirit channels were shattered. Abandoned by the Heavenly Dao and driven out by his sect, he became a rootless mortal despised by everyone across the Nine Provinces. His path to spiritual cultivation was severed, his name struck from the immortal rolls, and he endured contempt and abuse. All he had was a remnant Profound Dao Seal at his side, silently absorbing the discarded profound energy that no one else wanted.
People venerate the splendid orthodox path, convinced that perfection marks the summit. They do not know that the world itself is broken, and that so-called orthodoxy is nothing but a falsehood forged by the Heavenly Dao.
Rejected by heaven and earth and mocked by all, he glimpses the truth of the Great Dao within his broken body: perfection is a lie; imperfection is the source.
He will not pursue the glittering path to immortality, nor bow before the hypocritical Heavenly Dao.
With broken bones as his foundation and discarded energy as his sustenance, he quietly nurtures the true Dao amid the dust.
The Heavenly Dao abandons me, so I shall defy it. Heaven and earth are flawed, so I shall mend them with my own body.
From that day on, the world lost a fallen prodigy and gained a solitary cultivator of the Broken Dao. He roams the Nine Provinces and the spiritual continents alone, tearing through the layers of deceit that obscure the false Dao. With his imperfect body, he will mend the ancient regret of the Heavenly Dao.
