The Turbid Path Opens the Heavens

Heaven and earth were divided into pure and turbid, while spiritual roots determined who could become an immortal. An ancient Immortal Venerable tampered with spiritual energy and imposed a shackling curse that would last ten thousand generations: only those born with innate spiritual roots could absorb pure energy and embark on the path to immortality. The billions of ordinary people could only breathe in turbid energy, doomed to remain trapped in the Turbid Transformation Realm for life, mere sacrifices and expendable resources for the immortal sects. Chen Zhuo was an ordinary man without spiritual roots. He had no heavenly treasures or fortuitous encounters in secret realms, only a heart of enlightenment capable of deducing the laws of heaven and earth. Everyone said turbid energy was impure and ordinary people had no path to the Dao. He was determined to dismantle the fallacies in cultivation techniques passed down for thousands of years and forge an untraveled path of reverse cultivation in the barren land of turbid energy. The Shangqing Heavenly Sect closed in from all sides, while conservative cultivators met him with debates over the Dao. Chen Zhuo did not seek to break free of fate for his own sake. He intended to shatter the cage of class left behind by the ancients. There is no boundary between pure and turbid, nor any distinction between immortals and mortals. With the Turbid Dao, he will open a new heaven.
