He is born without spiritual roots, in an ordinary mortal body, and everyone calls him a useless nobody in the world of cultivation.
But he discovers that there is another path besides cultivation:
professional certification.
Alchemy, artifact forging, talismans, formations, spirit-plant cultivation, mining and metallurgy, and appraisal: he earns perfect scores in all seven examinations.
From then on, this mortal, judged as "someone who should not exist,"
founds a sect, recruits demonic cultivators, forges alliances with the myriad races, and defies the will of heaven...
It takes him nine volumes to prove one thing:
Being abandoned is not your fault. The people who abandoned you simply failed to see your worth.
Knowledge is the true source of power.
