[Slice of Life] [Useless Spiritual Roots] [Ordinary Life in the Cultivation World] [Slow-Burn, Overpowered] [Sect-Building] [Multiple Wives, All Properly Matched]
With useless five-element spiritual roots, Wang Ping cultivates at a snail’s pace. His fiancée breaks off their engagement, and his sect grinds him into the dirt. He accepts it, but refuses to accept his fate. On a rainy night in a ruined temple, he saves a gravely wounded goddess. Their bloodlines merge, drawing them into a bond that has endured for centuries. In the depths of a woodshed, an old beggar presses a scroll of beast hide into his hands: The Primordial Great Breath Sutra. If he can master it, he’ll be invincible among his peers. If he can’t, he can forget the whole thing.
From then on, he chops wood, grows medicinal herbs, sells spirit plants, and opens a trading house. He cultivates more slowly than anyone, but every step is solid enough to let him crush opponents above his level. He takes more cultivation partners than anyone, yet ensures every woman finds a proper place in the world. As the Demonic Abyss falls into turmoil, the truth behind the Great Breath Immortal Palace, lost for ten thousand years, comes to light: this menial disciple is the orphaned son of the immortal lord who once suppressed the Abyss. The old beggar’s dying words, “Your father is not dead,” conceal a secret spanning all the heavens.
