Mortal Bone Xiao Han

The story takes place in Kyushu Continent, a vast ancient world with an area equivalent to several earths, with complex and changeable geographical forms: high mountains, deep valleys and dense forests, vast plains, and vast seas. The mainland is divided into five major regions, each with its own unique cultivation traditions and cultural origins. On the Nine Provinces Continent, mortals account for the vast majority, and there is not even one cultivator in ten thousand. Immortal cultivators live in sects, spiritual mountains, and fairy cities. They intersect with the mortal world but have clear boundaries - mortals know that immortal cultivators exist, but most mortals will never see an immortal cultivator in their lifetime. Because spiritual roots are determined innately and cannot be changed the day after tomorrow, the vast majority of mortals are destined to live only a mortal life. Xiao Han's spiritual root test result was a fourth-grade lower spiritual root—not the worst waste spiritual root, but it was also a level rejected by most sects. However, there is an innate seal deep in the spiritual root of his body. Under the seal is the legendary "Five Elements Returning Spiritual Root" - a special spiritual root that is rarer than the first-grade Tianling root and can integrate the five elements of spiritual energy into one and operate without any hindrance. The existence of the seal makes his early cultivation extremely slow (at the fourth level), but every time he breaks through a major realm, the seal will loosen one layer, and the quality of his spiritual roots will gradually improve. When the tribulation period arrives, the seal is completely lifted, the spiritual roots return to their original state of the Five Elements, and the cultivation level skyrockets.
