While Others Cultivate Qi, I Forge the Dao from Wounds

He was once a prodigy of the Blazing Sun Sect, blessed with both fire and metal spiritual roots. But his master schemed against him, poisoning his Foundation Establishment Pill, while a debt contract from the Merchant Alliance bound him fast. In seven days, he would be treated as “cargo,” his spiritual roots harvested and handed over. At the brink of death, the Golden Scroll of Cause and Effect from the Guixu opened. Any wounds inflicted by others could be turned into Creation Source Qi, strengthening his foundation, clearing his meridians, bolstering his blood and vital energy, tempering his sinews and bones, and expanding his qi sea. From then on, every attack from an enemy only added fuel to his fire. Any calamity that befell him could be converted into Creation Source Qi. Others cultivated immortality with pills and spirit stones. Yun Zheng cultivated it by letting his enemies attack him with all their might. Everyone who wanted to destroy him became nourishment for his cultivation. Until one day, his enemies finally realized that the man they had beaten to pieces had forged his countless wounds into a road to the heavens.
