Chronicles of Spirit Cultivation

If you're tired of power levels spiraling out of control and shallow logic in feel-good power fantasies, and long to discover a world of cultivation with depth and heart, where every detail stands up to scrutiny, then join Yang Shuo as he steps into a land where darkness and glory coexist.

Here, there is love, strength, insight, and reflection. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.

In the vast, untamed world, all things possess “spirit.”

Qi refinement, blood refinement, body refinement, spirit refinement... The cultivators of this world believe that cultivation means seizing the spirit of Heaven and Earth, defying fate, and ascending to the Spirit Realm to attain the supreme Dao.

But they do not know that the entire world has been, from beginning to end, one enormous cage and pasture!

The sole survivor of the Immortal Realm laid down the Great Primordial Chaos Formation, using the Ten Forbidden Lands as its foundation and a Chaos Spirit Treasure as its vessel. All living things in this world are treated as nourishment for the supreme treasure, in the hope of forging a divine artifact beyond the Three Realms: the Chaos Divine Pearl. Its purpose is beyond anyone's imagination.

The struggles and deaths of countless living beings are merely one harvest in a ten-thousand-year cycle, in the eyes of the Immortal Realm's great powers.

Yang Shuo was born in the untamed world. Gifted with an unusual talent, he senses “spirit” far more keenly than others. He had intended to cultivate in peace, but instead created the Spirit Mastery Art and unexpectedly discovered a secret hidden within the crystal cores, one powerful enough to shake the very foundations of the world...

As he gradually unveils the ancient conspiracy, he finds only the endless sacrifices of those who came before him and an even more cruel truth: save one person, or save an entire world? Destroy one world, or save all worlds?

This is the beginning of an epic: a solitary road strewn with thorns, and a journey to shepherd all living things and lead an entire civilization to wander among the stars.
