From Starving Refugee to Immortal Venerable of Longevity

Li Guiyuan transmigrated to a cultivation world, just as cold disasters and famine struck. He had barely enough to eat and could never be sure he would survive until the next day.

Fortunately, he obtained a wondrous treasure, the Black Lotus. By killing those with spiritual roots, he could gather their life force, evolve his own spiritual roots, and increase his cultivation.

It also let him prove something once and have it remain proven forever: diligent cultivation of his techniques would bring constant progress, with no backsliding.

Yet the road to immortality was long, arduous, and perilous. Divine abilities were terrifying, and those who wanted to attain the Dao, live forever, and claim its fruits and throne would stop at nothing.

Time passed, and the world rose and fell...

Looking back, Li Guiyuan had become as radiant as the sun and moon. He beheld the vastness of Heaven and Earth and the endlessness of the Great Dao.
