The Record of the Heart-Severing Sword Immortal

At the age of eight, Shen Yan was separated from his family amid the chaos of war and taken in by the Iron Sword Sect as a menial servant. He could never have imagined that three years later, a martial-world battle would drive him deep into the Cangwu Mountains, where he would stumble upon the abandoned estate of a Qi Refining wandering cultivator. From then on, he would embark on a path of immortal cultivation, accomplishing the extraordinary in a mortal body. He had no spiritual roots, no sect to shelter him, and no miraculous chance encounter. All he had was a copy of the Qi Guiding Art, a silver-eyed mouse, and a cautious, patient heart. From the first layer of Qi Guiding to the Great Perfection of Deity Transformation, every step was taken through blood and sweat. Every spirit stone had to be earned with his life. He understood better than anyone: in the world of immortal cultivation, staying alive is the greatest fortune of all. The Three Realms’ teleportation arrays, from the Qinghu Post Station Array to the Nine Domains’ Purification Array, from the Chaos Star Gate to the Ancient Turbid Source Array: they were both Shen Yan’s escape route and the sword with which he sealed the Turbid Abyss. The road to immortality stretches on. The mortal-world Sword Immortal sets forth.
