Mastering Martial Arts While Lying Low in the Cultivation World

“Seventh-grade spiritual root, commoner background. Cultivation forbidden!” “Fourth-grade spiritual root, criminal background. Cultivation forbidden!” “Ninth-grade spiritual root, eighth-rank background. Eligible for admission to the outer court of the Dao Palace!” This is a cultivation world where people’s fates are determined by their nine-rank lineage, with clear-cut barriers between classes. Lu Cheng, with the lowest-grade spiritual root and a criminal background, can only take the path of martial arts. His limits in this life have already been set. [The Great Dao numbers fifty. The heavens derive forty-nine, leaving one to escape.] A glimmer of hope from the very source of the world grants Lu Cheng the power to break through every bottleneck. As long as he focuses wholeheartedly and builds up strength bit by bit, he can reach the end of the martial path and ascend to the pinnacle of all arts. And then… He’ll go one step further, then two, then three! With these fists, he’ll smash through every barrier, tangible or intangible, and forge a bright and boundless world!
