Synopsis

On the Spiritual Aptitude Platform, the five conflicting traits appear once more.

It is an ironclad rule of the world: the fewer one's traits, the greater one's talent. Possessing all five traits is a dead end for cultivation.

As a result, he is expelled from the inner courtyard of the Shen family and sent to guard the graves in the mass burial ground behind the mountain, where he endures contempt and humiliation. Everyone believes the boy's life is already set in stone, that it is all over for him.

But as he falls into a Yin pit, facing certain death, fate quietly changes course.

Beneath the shell of a false mortal body lies a secret sealed away for countless ages.

A unique and arduous path of cultivation stirs up turmoil across the Three Realms.

He has no easy opportunities falling into his lap, nor resources appearing out of thin air.

To survive, he must proceed with utmost caution at every step. To grow stronger, he must seek insight in battles to the death.

Lingering remnants torment his soul, danger lurks in the shadows, and he faces rejection from the world as well as shadows that have watched from afar across countless ages.

Starting by scraping by in a mass burial ground, he ventures through the mortal kingdoms, enters immortal estates in the Immortal Realm, and traverses the domains of countless paths.

As the old order teeters on the brink of collapse, he will forge with his own hands a path no one has ever walked before.

Looking for Stories With a Similar Approach to A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

After finishing A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, other cultivation novels feel a bit too contrived. It's easy to guess where the plot is going: the protagonist meets a powerful foe and either 1) hides his true abilities, 2) turns the tables just before dying, 3) lets his enemies fight each other and then swoops in to reap the rewards, or 4) gets taken on as a disciple by some old man.
