Defying Fate on the Immortal Path: The Abandoned One

Novel Synopsis

Everyone says Lin Xuan will never be able to cultivate in this life.

Because he has no spiritual root.

Because his clan was wiped out overnight.

Because his parents died in a bloody night.

Because of the once-glorious Lin Clan, only he remains, an abandoned orphan.

For fifteen years, he has endured nothing but scorn.

Some mock him as a stray dog from a ruined family.

Others trample on his dignity and tell him:

“A useless wretch should accept his fate.”

But they don’t know.

The boy kneeling in the mud has never truly bowed his head.

Sixteen years ago, on the night the Lin Clan was massacred, a mysterious ancient ring helped him survive.

Until that day.

When everyone was certain that he could only live as an ordinary mortal for the rest of his life,

the ancient ring awakened.

A remnant soul that had slept for a thousand years appeared.

He had once been the Supreme Immortal of the Great Profundity, who roamed the Nine Heavens.

He had once stood at the pinnacle of all realms.

But now, only a wisp of his soul remained.

“Your spiritual root is ruined.”

“Your meridians are damaged.”

“Your aptitude isn’t even worthy of becoming my disciple.”

Faced with the Immortal’s cold assessment,

Lin Xuan simply asked:

“If you have no spiritual root, does that mean you can’t cultivate?”

The Immortal replied:

“That is the rule of heaven and earth.”

Lin Xuan was silent for a long time.

Then he said:

“Then I’ll break it.”
