The Dao Ancestor's Abandoned Disciple

Before the Path-Seeking Stele of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Shen Yan is stripped of his Dao name and immortal status, reduced to a good-for-nothing mocked by the entire sect.

Everyone says his spiritual root has disintegrated and his body is now that of a mere mortal, leaving him no chance of seeking the Dao.

No one sees that beneath his ruined spiritual root lies an innate Dao Embryo, sealed by the Heavenly Dao itself, which fears its power.

Three years ago, he was the sect's prodigy. Three years later, he is abandoned in a bitterly cold mortal realm.

Amid the wind and snow, Shen Yan swears: "Today, the Heavenly Dao casts me aside and sends me into the mortal world. One day, I will forge my own Dao and surpass the heavens."

While all beings obediently follow the Heavenly Dao's rules, he alone carves out a great path of his own. When the myriad Daos of the heavens join forces to hunt him down, he will found a sect and become the Dao Ancestor of the ages.

The Holy Maiden Su Qingyao secretly protects him and stays by his side. She is clear about gratitude and grudges, and unwavering in her decisiveness.

No System, no transmigration: a classic xianxia tale of a passionate outcast's comeback, with one female lead accompanying him from beginning to end as he ascends to the pinnacle and becomes a legend.
