One of the three mightiest Dao-wielders in the world, he was so bored in seclusion that he entrusted a wisp of his divine sense to the "Wordless Heavenly Tome" and tossed it into a mortal river, hoping to raise an immortal cultivation clan bound to him by blood and keep himself entertained.
But this old ancestor has no feelings and never gives away power for free. Everything bestowed by the tome follows the cruel law of "equivalent exchange"!
Lu Jing, a village schoolteacher, finds the tome and offers five years of his life in exchange for the first cultivation manual his clan has ever received.
When disaster threatens to wipe out the family and no one among them can fight, the fourth son, Lu Shouzhuo, born with a murderous bone structure, enters the ancestral hall. In exchange for thirty years of his life, the loss of his eyesight, and his soul serving as a slave after death, he borrows one night of peak killing power from the tome. Wielding a butcher's knife, he slaughters his enemies to the last, carving out ten years of peace for the next generation!
No goody-two-shoes, no hand-holding. Every member of the family is ruthless, and everyone has their wits about them.
This is the story of a lowly clan that relies on sacrifice across generations and cold-blooded maneuvering to gradually drag the lofty immortal sects and clans from their divine pedestal.
