The Divine Path of the Great Dao

The Ancient Xuanhuang Mirror can decipher Dao scripts, derive cultivation techniques, and accelerate cultivation. But as its wielder's cultivation improves, its secrets gradually come to light: it is far more than a mere auxiliary artifact.

Yet this world has no pity for tears:

A rigid hierarchy: outer sect disciples make registered disciples lower their heads, and anyone a level lower in cultivation must bow to their betters.

The strong prey on the weak: stewards skim resources, elders scheme against one another in secret, and without strength, you have no say.

Righteous and demonic factions clash: demonic cultivators from Netherworld Valley watch hungrily, never ceasing their blood sacrifices, massacres, and summons of evil creatures.

Lu Han climbs step by step from the bottom of the Taiqing Monastery. First, he is a "prodigy" who can decipher Dao scripts; then he makes a name for himself in the outer sect tournament; next, he becomes the dazzling dark horse of the Three Academies Tournament. He is decisive and methodical. The seven years he spent surviving the apocalypse in his previous life taught him one thing: only the strong have the right to reason, and only the ruthless survive to the end.

From a corner of Qingzhou to a contest for supremacy across the Nine Provinces, from an unknown nobody to a powerhouse who dominates the world, Lu Han relies on the Ancient Xuanhuang Mirror and the wisdom of two lifetimes to cut a path to the Great Dao on this thorn-covered road of cultivation.
