I'm the Only One in the Cultivation World Who Doesn't Absorb Spiritual Energy

Since time immemorial, cultivators have followed the orthodox path of absorbing qi.

Yet the source of spiritual energy conceals an ancient secret, sealed away by the upper powers.

For three years, Lin Mo has been trapped in the Qingyun Sect's outer court, unable to draw qi into his body. Branded a useless disciple, he awaits the fate of expulsion.

At the end of his rope, a fragmentary ancient scroll of the Yin Spirit falls into his hands.

The cultivation method is incomplete, its price a mystery. Each moment of cultivation brings another measure of backlash, as heaven and earth gnaw at his soul.

He conceals every strange sign and endures in secret, using his divine soul to pierce illusions and glimpse the hidden crisis lurking behind the cultivation of all living beings.

A mysterious inner-sect girl shares the same source as his divine soul, and their fates quietly intertwine.

Underneath the sect's surface, undercurrents surge, while fragmentary memories of an ancient catastrophe slowly awaken.

The Great Dao may not be bright, and even a strange path can be turned against the current.
