Forging Heaven from Mortal Bones

Lu Chen is judged to have a mortal bone and sent to the mines, where he must dig a path to the heavens for the immortal sect.

The night the mine collapses, the overseer takes away the last protective talisman.

But on a discarded formation plate, Lu Chen sees a pattern that is on the verge of breaking.

From repairing a single trapping formation to forging a sword of his own, he gradually discovers that the difference between immortals and mortals isn't just a matter of bones.

Some gates have been closed for too long. Someone has to forge them open again.

If that's the case, I'll cleave open the heavens with my sword!
