The Venerable Master of Hongmeng's Ashes

Lu Jinyao, a good-for-nothing steward on the brink of death, awakens the Primordial Ashen Spirit Seal of the Nine Eras. The disciples he casually takes in are all heaven-chosen prodigies. Sect geniuses, elders, and powerful figures come knocking to pick fights, only to have their techniques devoured, their schemes foiled, their opportunities snatched, and their pretentiousness exposed. They spend the whole time choking on their grievances. With a little ink-black dumpling at his side, he roams the primordial realms, drives ancient villains to madness, and takes command of the Primordial Great Dao.
