Shattered Jade at Kunlun Mountain

Since Dao Ancestor Yukun took the stage to preach and passed down the Golden Core path, four stages of mental cultivation have followed: Hearing the Dao, Knowing Oneself, Clarifying the Heart, and Breaking Attachments. The Taixuan Sect inherited this tradition and became the foremost orthodox sect in the cultivation world. It has stood for nine thousand years. Yin Qitong is the leading disciple of this generation of the Taixuan Sect. Before reaching a hundred years of age, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Hearing the Dao stage. His cultivation had gone smoothly, but he hit a wall at the next stage, Knowing Oneself. Thirty years passed with almost no progress. Then came a rumor from within the Taixuan Sect: an ordinary disciple named Jiang Yunlou had leaped through three stages at once, going from Hearing the Dao straight to becoming a cultivator of Breaking Attachments. Yin Qitong: ...Jiang Yunlou? Who's that? Both of Yin Qitong's parents are True Immortal patriarchs of the Taixuan Sect who proved the Dao and ascended. They sent him to cultivate at the sect when he was young, so how had he never heard the name Jiang Yunlou in the Taixuan Sect over the past 120 years? Yin Qitong had to see for himself what talent this obscure, ordinary disciple possessed to leap through three stages in one go and surpass him.
