The Imperial Seal Commands the Heavens

For countless ages, the Five Sages have ruled the Central Continent. The snowbound city of the Northern Territory freezes the soul. In the Southern Sea, Penglai is a lawless realm of humans and demons. The Western Sumeru monasteries imprison all living beings. In the East, the Sword Pavilion's Sword Saint walks the land, while the Central Plains Academy of the Sage of Letters holds the imperial throne in its grasp. The Five Great Sacred Lands stand above the mortal world, treating billions of ordinary people like grass. They decide the rise and fall of dynasties, control life and death, and enforce ironclad laws of injustice: the royal family rules the world, ordinary people are forbidden to cultivate, immortal sects meddle in government, and the Sacred Lands flaunt their privileges. Xiao Ding, a boy from a mountain village, was born in Stone Village on Mount Mofeng, the poorest place in the Song Kingdom. With his impure mortal bones, he was destined never to cultivate. But when heavenly thunder struck, he unexpectedly fused with the long-lost Treasure Seal of Illumination belonging to the Supreme Emperor Haotian. From then on, his mortal body was transformed, and his physical form reached the heavens. The path of cultivation in the Central Continent has nine stages: Body Refinement, Technique Training, Dao Entry, Spirit Dao, Divine Dao, Heavenly Dao, Star Dao, True Lord, and Emperor Lord. For ten thousand years, no one has... When ordinary people enter the Dao, they can summon only one divine avatar. Xiao Ding alone wields the Heavenly Emperor's divine seal, allowing him to summon all the gods of the heavens, the immortals and Buddhas of China! To seek even a sliver of justice, Xiao Ding lies low and bides his time, joining the most hypocritical institution of all, the Central Plains Academy. He endures hardship and fights through bloodshed. From a lowly ant in a mountain village to one who can suppress the Five Sages; From a man trampled by everyone to one who commands the Heavenly Dao. He defies every injustice in the world, shatters the Sacred Lands' thousand-year privileges, and sweeps aside the domination of the Sword Pavilion, the monasteries, Penglai, and the Snow City. Abolish the divine churches' privileges, end the immortal sects' meddling in government! Let the royal family rule the dynasties, the immortal Dao govern cultivation, and ordinary people live freely, with mortals and immortals each following their own path! From that day on, no Sacred Land will ever again lord it over the people beneath the ancient sky. Only my Imperial Seal shall command the gods and reign supreme over the mortal world.
