The Eternal Dao Stele

In the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, your spiritual roots decide your fate. Lin Chen has useless fire and wood spiritual roots. After three years at the Qingyun Sect, he is still a lowly outer sect servant. The steward docks his monthly allowance, the prodigies humiliate him at will, and even his last portion of spiritual medicine is snatched away.

On the brink of death, he accidentally stumbles into a forbidden area in the back mountains, where his blood stains an ancient, wordless stele. The stele awakens and transforms into the Myriad Ages Dao Stele.

The first level can refine spiritual medicines, demon beast cores, fragments of magic treasures, and jade slips containing cultivation arts, turning them into Dao Resonance.

The second level can expend Dao Resonance to derive cultivation arts, pill recipes, formations, and divine abilities, restoring what is incomplete and optimizing their methods.

The third level can engrave Dao Resonance as Dao Marks, permanently strengthening his physique, soul, sword heart, and spiritual eye.

From then on, his useless spiritual roots are purified into a Chaos Dao Foundation, and the low-tier Qi Drawing Art is derived into a supreme immortal scripture.

From the outer sect tournament to the inner sect's turbulent affairs, from imperial rivalries to the emergence of the Demonic Abyss, Lin Chen sweeps all before him.

Until he discovers that the Dao Stele is actually the key the ancient Immortal Emperor used to suppress the heavens, and that the mystery of his missing parents also points to the depths of the stele.

With mortal bones, I forge an immortal stele. With a mortal body, I suppress the heavens.
