Lin Xuandu. Five-element spiritual roots, Qi Refining third level, illegitimate son of a marquis’s household.
The Great Dao has judged him doomed.
No one knows that curled inside the ancient jade at his neck is a primordial Black Sky Jade Silkworm.
Each morning, it produces Dawn-Origin Jade Dew, purifying his meridians and refining the turbid energy of his five spiritual roots into pure, attribute-free true essence.
His foundation is as solid as any prodigy’s.
He has no backing, no talent, only a ruthless nature, an unyielding heart, and a ledger.
From half a mu of rice paddy in Cold Spring Hollow to laying a vast, inescapable net amid sects standing in great numbers.
From a scattered cultivator named Lin to Daoist Lin, True Person Lin, and True Lord Lin.
Until he gazes down over the entire continent.
Where Dawn-Origin falls, the myriad paths bow.
