The Taotie Cauldron

Feng Wuxie, a menial disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, has spent three years in the sect with no spiritual root, enduring endless bullying.

After falling off a cliff, he comes across an ancient Taotie cauldron. He discovers it can devour the spiritual roots and remaining spiritual power of the dead, and even steal other people's physiques and eye techniques for his own use.

From then on, others cultivate through talent, while he cultivates by "devouring."

Corpses are his resources, geniuses his nourishment. He devours the five elemental spiritual roots one by one, and steals physiques, eye techniques, secret arts, and supernatural abilities in turn. From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul, he climbs ever higher over countless corpses.

Devour all things, consume the heavens, and let one cauldron suppress the universe.

This is the story of a menial disciple who crawls up out of the mire and uses a man-eating cauldron to devour the entire cultivation world.
