In this life, Lin Yan has only two words left: survive.
His mother's soul lies in a deep slumber, and his little sister is starving at the academy. A rogue cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, branded with a "crippled spiritual root," he can only risk his life in the deadliest Demon Abyss secret realm to trade for the lowest-grade, first-tier demon core and keep his mother alive.
The sect oppresses him, his peers humiliate him, and even the secret realms assigned to him are stacked layers of near-certain death. Everyone treats him like an ant.
But no one knows that deep within the stacked secret realms, the Netherworld Dao Seal that has slumbered for countless ages recognizes only him as its master.
He can peer into the Dao Chapters, train through daily lessons, cleanse his marrow and meridians, and break through realms as easily as drinking water. He also has a move called [Soul Summoning and Spirit Seizing]: the demons he slays and enemies he brings to their knees all become Yin soldiers under his command after death!
Today, you mock me as the weakest at Qi Refining. Tomorrow, I will lead a million Yin soldiers and crush the Demon Abyss!
He will save his mother, suppress the demonic tide, battle Immortal Venerables, and roam the realms of immortals and demons. When the calamity of reincarnation descends and the myriad worlds are reset, and all the Immortal Venerables across the heavens fall, only this youth, who clawed his way up from the weakest stage of Qi Refining, will stand alone before primordial chaos,
And become the Supreme Hongmeng Venerable.
