No Spiritual Roots? My Immortal Venerable Wife Lends Me Her Power to Turn the Tables

In the ninety-ninth year of the Daxuan Dynasty, Zhang Lang, a minor official demoted to the Old Records Archive, discovers a note about a debt of fate bearing his own name. He steps into the world of cultivation and meets Yun Qingyao, the remnant soul of an Immortal Venerable. Though he has no spiritual roots, he once owed her his life in a previous incarnation, so he borrows her spiritual power to cultivate and gathers old records in the hope of awakening his beloved. The Qingyun Sect and the imperial family hunt him down to bury the truth. He grows into a formidable force, only to learn that the calamity of the Evil God originated with the righteous path, and that he himself is the key to unlocking the seal. As the countdown draws near, he must choose between his beloved and all living beings, and settle the debts of fate spanning three lifetimes.
