On the night the Xuanjian Sect is wiped out, Jiang Yan, a Foundation Establishment disciple, lies on the brink of death.
A golden awl belonging to a visitor from beyond the heavens remains inside him alongside the remnants of the visitor’s dying consciousness. At the threshold between life and death, it suddenly awakens.
From that moment on, the world looks entirely different to him. Everything has a weakness to exploit, and pure golden essence slumbers deep within spiritual energy. Bottlenecks that take others decades of arduous cultivation to overcome are no obstacle to him. He can see through the crucial workings of cultivation techniques and formations that high-ranking cultivators prize as dearly as their lives. With the power bestowed by this foreign essence, he defeats formidable foes above his level, unravels ancient secret realms, and makes astonishing progress in cultivation. The orphaned survivor of a sect’s destruction becomes the cultivation world’s most dazzling rising star.
But as his cultivation advances, one strange phenomenon after another comes to light: tribulations that seem precisely calculated, inheritances unchanged for countless ages, and visitors from beyond the heavens said to appear and vanish without a trace. This cultivation world is merely an outer shell. Above it lies a world of myths, and at the very top is the visitors’ original reality.
Behind every rule everyone takes for granted lies a vast secret no one knows.
With the golden awl in hand, Jiang Yan crosses battlefields and bloodshed, challenges the might of heaven and earth, and presses onward toward the world’s boundaries. He believes he is walking a defiant path to immortality, unaware that the golden awl left behind is the key to breaking through the barriers between three worlds. He is both the vessel the laws of heaven and earth have long awaited to break the deadlock and the greatest flaw this world instinctively seeks to erase.
As the truth gradually comes to light, will the end of this path bring transcendence beyond the three realms, or a destiny already written long ago?
