The Broken Jade Seeks the Dao

[Mortal cultivation power fantasy + decisive and ruthless + no female lead + no System]

Burdened by Dao wounds, with his path to immortality cut short?

Ordinary talent, unable to advance beyond Qi Refining?

Gu Yan drags his battered body down the mountain. He believes his path to the Dao is at an end, and that all he can do is spend the rest of his days in the mortal world.

But an enigmatic fragment of jade he happened upon by chance turns out to conceal a secret that reaches the heavens!

The jade has a spirit within it, and contains countless incarnations.

With a mere thought, they multiply without end, deducing countless cultivation methods in the world inside the jade and plumbing the mysteries of every technique!

Wherever his divine sense reaches, he can suppress souls and control life and death!

[You study the Basic Sword Art. An incarnation in the jade deduces its secrets, and you suddenly grasp the rudiments of the “Gale and Flying Snow” sword intent!]

[You study the Fire Control Art. An incarnation in the jade deduces its secrets, and you grasp a sliver of the “Samadhi True Fire” method!]

[You are attacked by a powerful enemy's spiritual soul. The jade fragment protects its master, suppresses the enemy's soul, and strengthens your own divine sense!]

“The Immortal Dao is vast, and geniuses abound. There are even prodigies whose names are sung far and wide. Though I may be dull of talent, I too possess a heart that seeks truth and the Dao.”

Hidden from view, Gu Yan watches the self-proclaimed geniuses, a knowing smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

“On this path, I've advanced as if walking beside an abyss, as if treading on thin ice... All thanks to a tiny bit of insight, that's all.”

Years pass, and eras come and go.

When Gu Yan looks back, he stands atop the Immortal Dao. Behind him lies the road to immortality, paved with mountains of bones; before him stretches an eternal legend without equal.

May I live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon. I alone, Gu Yan, command the souls of the heavens!
