Xin Juan Tian Xia: Embers of the Embankment

In the first year of the Heavenly Era, the old world ended, and the country was established through cultivation. Cultivation is never an immortal path in the clouds, but is rooted in the temple game of land, water conservancy and resource allocation. The power of a monk never arises out of thin air, it all comes from the seeds of crops every year. Power has a price, talent is impermanent. The royal family was born as a mortal child, and the common people cultivated strange cultivators. Monks are the sharp sword of the dynasty, and they have also been at war with the secular world for hundreds of years. Zhou Chengyuan, a young man from the bottom, is unwilling to be a weed swaying in the wind. Mengtian favored him and entered Jingheng Academy, half-stepping into Tianjia. He once thought that practice is power, and power is freedom; until he was involved in the current of the times, he realized that the stronger the power, the deeper the shackles. The balance of power among the great powers is about to burst, and the people are in danger. He wants to save more people, but how should he save this person? Let's look at a young man who is unable to practice, working step by step in a world where monks are rampant, and finally earns the respect of the great cultivator and becomes the largest shadow trader in the entire continent.
