Lu Wuwei was a peerless talent, unmatched in his brilliance. After enduring countless hardships, he finally reached the spirit-testing stone, only to have his path to immortality cut short: he had no spiritual root. With tears in his eyes, he resigned himself to life as an ordinary mortal. In just a few years, he won over Lin Qingyu, a proud daughter of heaven. But fate envied his talent, and Lu Wuwei contracted a terminal illness. No treatment could cure him, and it left him with a lasting ailment.
By chance, he discovered that his ailment was also a spiritual root. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivation. Using thunderous methods, he gave other extraordinarily gifted mortals lasting ailments of their own, making them his kindred spirits, and together they founded a sect.
