His hands were covered in coal dust, and his life was lighter than dust itself. Until his spiritual field was attacked, and his personal blood jade exploded with a bloody light—it turned out to be the Blood Lotus Sect's heirloom, hiding the truth behind the sect's annihilation, and his "wasteful roots" were actually the only vessel to hold the Blood Lotus's spiritual power. From then on, the sweeping boy embarked on a path of revenge. He tempered his body in the Forbidden Spirit Valley, enduring tribulations, explored the library to uncover the secrets of the two sects, and when immortals and demons clashed over spiritual energy, he used the Blood Lotus Pearl to fuse the spiritual power of all races, opening a path for mortal cultivators to share in the spiritual energy.

    No saintly sentimentality, no clichés, no time travel, no system! Amidst the vast expanse of the starry sky, the three thousand great worlds seem like mere dust. The setting sun fades into the past, amidst the deep haze, the sounds of luan and sheng resound. The ethereal spirit cannot penetrate the mortal bones, white lotuses exude azure charm, crimson lotuses blaze. The heavens and earth are cleansed, their fragrance flowing, the heart and universe embracing the azure mist. This vastness, in this boundless three thousand great worlds, is utterly ordinary. Through the orderly operation of earth, water, fire, and wind, in the long river of time, a planet with a demonic heart is cleansed. And these beings above this vastness are those born on this land, lives that, along with this demonic heart, cleanse themselves of their demonic resentment…

    The plot is original, unconventional, and not mindless. It features political intrigue, cultivation, revenge, and action—not a typical light novel. I humbly request your feedback. I've always wanted to write something unique and different, but unfortunately, I lack data. I'm almost at my breaking point. If you don't like it, please give it a bad review so I can just give up! But the entire story is definitely not idiotic.

    There's no system, no saintly figures; if you don't like something, just fight it out. This novel is a brain-teasing fantasy story. The protagonist is a genius from the start, vengeful and decisive. The early style leans towards realism, but it shifts to a different style after the setting changes. It differs from current mainstream popular fantasy masterpieces. The main storyline downplays the protagonist's romance, focusing instead on his exciting life journey, from an ordinary mortal to awakening dragon blood and gradually finding his destiny.
