Grinder? Madman? Genius? No, a Grind King

Nan Benchu is a servant disciple of Spring Jade Sect, and a runaway slave. By chance, he obtains the Heavenly Book of Dao Inquiry, which can derive all techniques, create divine abilities from scratch, and break through any realm. He has no heaven-defying spiritual roots or peerless inheritance. He has only a heavenly book, a pair of hands, and a kind of obsessive grind that makes the entire cultivation world’s scalp go numb. Others cultivate by honing a sword for ten years. He cultivates by honing it a hundred times in one night, having the heavenly book make a thousand deductions, and going on until his sword intent reaches the divine. Those in the Deification realm take a detour when they see him. Those in the Body Integration realm shut themselves away. Those facing tribulation pretend to be dead on the spot. They’re not afraid he’ll steal their techniques. They’re afraid that what he figures out for himself with the heavenly book will be stronger than what they’ve spent their whole lives practicing. That’s what makes it so utterly despairing. A mortal’s path to immortality, the Heavenly Book of Dao Inquiry. Oh no, the grind king is here!
