The Master of Two Worlds: Starting with an Offering of a Spirit Stone
Shen Yan transmigrated to the cultivation world, where his spiritual root was stolen and he was cast out as a useless disciple.
At death's door, he activated a damaged ancient seal, which unexpectedly connected him to the imperial palace of the native Dayin Dynasty.
A discarded spirit stone landed on the empress's desk.
The court was thrown into an uproar, and the officials panicked. The empress pointed her sword at the void, believing a demon was at work.
Shen Yan had no spiritual root, but he had cultivation techniques, spirit fields, alchemy recipes, and formations from the cultivation world.
Dayin had no cultivators, but it had a million-strong army, a complete court, skilled craftsmen, and the will of its people.
And so began a trade between two worlds.
He taught the dynasty to cultivate qi, forge spirit weapons, open spirit fields, and arrange military formations;
The dynasty repaid him with provisions, ironware, soldiers, and the power of its fortune.
Starting with a single spirit stone, Shen Yan became Dayin's most mysterious "Master of Two Worlds."
But every time he borrowed the dynasty's fortune, strange visions of the dynasty appeared in the cultivation world;
Every time he brought back a cultivation technique, monsters, spirit veins, and natural disasters emerged in his homeland.
Empress Xiao Qingtang went from wanting to kill him to standing by his side;
The Azure Nether Sect's Saintess, Luo Shuanghan, went from pursuing him on orders to betraying her sect for him;
The demon princess Bai Su went from raiding the border to forming a spirit-field alliance with him;
The inheritor of mechanical arts, Jiang Qiaoji, used mortal craftsmanship to create a national treasure capable of wounding Golden Core cultivators.
When the sects treated mortals like ants, and the lingering soul of an immortal dynasty sought to revive the old order,
Shen Yan stood between two worlds, using a dynasty as his furnace and the vitality of billions as fuel,
intent on refining this chaotic age into an immortal nation.
In this life, he would not seek ascension alone.
