I Beat a Hole Through the Heavens

Eighteen hundred years ago, someone ascended to the heavens.

The first thing he did after reaching the top was lock the door.

From that day on, everyone in the world who practiced martial arts hit a wall at the ninth level. For centuries, three thousand sects fought over the few places available.

My name is Chen Jin. I’m from Luoxia County, and I belong to no sect or school.

When my master died, he left me with just one sentence: There are people behind the door.

Only later did I learn that ascension wasn’t becoming an immortal.

It meant being taken away.

For a thousand years, ten thousand powerful people who had reached the peak went up, one by one. Not a single one came back down. Every sect was collecting people for those above, trading each one for a reward.

Fine.

You’ve been collecting people for eighteen hundred years.

I’ll go up there and tear down the door.
