Become a Talented, Mortal

"Cultivation into immortality? That's a matter for the Immortal Family!"​​ Cheng Tie was born as a mortal, with no spiritual roots, no background, and could not even touch the threshold of cultivating immortality. He was born in a border town, his parents died when he was young, and he made a living by blacksmithing. The fire in the blacksmith shop continued day and night, and the sound of hammers was deafening, but it could not break the unwillingness in his bones. He has seen monks wielding swords in the air, he has seen monsters slaughtering mortals, and he has even seen those high-ranking immortal disciples who treat all living beings like ants. ​​"Should mortals just accept their fate?"​​ He doesn't admit it! No spiritual roots? Then use your mortal body to challenge the way of heaven! No skills? Then steal from hundreds of schools of thought and create your own practice! No resources? Then exchange blood for treasure and fight for opportunity with your life! ​—Since God doesn't give me a path to immortality, I will walk a bloody path myself!​​ This road is destined to become a mountain of corpses and stain the sky with blood. But Cheng Tie is not afraid because he knows: ​​"Cultivation as an immortal is essentially going against nature!"​
