But I was also lucky enough to make it back alive! I wrote this book to warn more people and help them learn from my experience.

What's the thing you regret most in this life? It's not like any of us know each other anyway... At those words, the man sank into painful memories. “The thing I regret most is refining everyone in the lower realm into corpse pills, all to seek immortality.” The other person took a frightened step back. “You're lying.

    Ascension to immortality turned out to be a scam.

After transmigrating, I inherited the original owner's power. At this moment, I was slaughtering my way through countless enemies high above the heavens. But why was I killing them? I... had no idea. All I knew was that when I opened my eyes again, I had no memories... Stranger still, there were two people here who looked exactly like me: one was a corpse, and the other a soul.

    What?! Ascension was a scam! [Already hooked][Added to bookshelf] The protagonist couldn't even survive immortality! [Facepalm] Full of enthusiasm, he suddenly encountered a Nascent Soul Ancestor. He thought it was a stroke of luck, but he almost got himself killed! [Shocked] It blends survival and passion together, with many unexpected humorous moments. Immortality stories have moments of calm, survival, and passion. Who says immortality has to be a suspenseful ending? I was timid in the beginning, but I unleashed my full power later!

    Stepping into the fantasy world of "Mortal Bones" is like embarking on an adventure for the soul. The protagonist, a mere mortal, harbors an indomitable dream of cultivating immortality, overcoming countless obstacles on the cruel path of cultivation. The book features both thrilling battles and delicate, moving emotional bonds, allowing us to witness the passion and perseverance of ordinary people who rise against all odds. It is definitely worth reading.
