The path to immortality lies in nurturing a spirit root, opening spirit buds, and gestating spirit fruit. After surviving the heavenly tribulation, the fruit ripens and a golden core forms. Then comes the great tribulation of inner demons, the tempering of the body through life and death, and the realization of the mustard-seed universe… Only after enduring every tribulation can one become an immortal.
When disaster strikes his sect, Lu Qian is entrusted with a mission at the eleventh hour. He discovers the path to immortality inside the sect leader's ring. His most urgent task is to find a place with a spirit vein and settle the senior and junior sisters who fled with him, so he can reopen the mountain gate, establish a sect, and cultivate immortality!
…
In this golden age of cultivation, ten thousand sects compete, the many arts of cultivation vie to outshine one another, and divine abilities and secret arts are wondrous beyond compare. Heroes of the realm are as numerous as carp crossing a river. This is the time for people like us to strive!
Establishing a sect, opening a market, raising disciples, recruiting talent, plotting schemes, launching campaigns… The sect leader's long journey has only just begun.
