A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting with Being Captured by a Black-Robed Monster

Wang Zheng, a farm boy of mediocre talent, never dreamed of cultivating immortality. He only wanted to chop wood and hunt, earn enough to put his younger brother through school, and live an ordinary life.

But one day, while gathering firewood deep in the mountains, he is captured by a strange old man in a black robe and unexpectedly embarks on the path of immortal cultivation.

Using the immortal arts and pill recipes he gets from the old man, Wang Zheng cultivates on his own, progressing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, then Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, and Tribulation Transcendence. Through countless trials and brushes with death, he grows ever stronger, until an ordinary mortal becomes a true immortal.
