A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting with Maxed-Out Comprehension

In the nearly thousand years since Han Li ascended, not a single person in the Southern Heaven Cultivation World has reached the summit and broken through to another realm.

Dong Chuan had five spirit roots and extraordinary comprehension from birth. As soon as he got his hands on a cultivation art or secret technique, a complete visualization of its spiritual energy circulation would automatically appear in his sea of consciousness.

The key points others needed ten years to grasp, he understood at a glance and mastered after a single practice.

By chance, he dug a spirit-wood tablet containing a remnant soul out of Devilfall Valley.

The remnant soul called itself Wood Daoist and knew where to find everything Han Li had left behind.

Cultivation arts, pills, puppets, secret realms... every single one was priceless.

Relying on his maxed-out comprehension, Dong Chuan refined those legacies one by one, then deduced and reworked them.

He could innovate cultivation arts, complete fragments of lost formulas, and even devour ancient sword intent.

On the day he finally reached great mastery, Wood Daoist at last revealed his true smile. “Kid, it's time for me to refine you.”

Dong Chuan smiled too. He'd been waiting a long time to hear those words.

He just hadn't expected that the old senior who wanted to possess him would also be surnamed Han.
