For cultivators across the heavens, the lifelong goal is to condense a perfect Natal Aspect.
If the aspect shatters, one's Dao vanishes. It is the most unsolvable dead end on the path of cultivation.
When Li Yifan had his aspect tested as a boy, his Natal Aspect shattered with a thunderous crash, leaving him a cripple with a shattered aspect, mocked by everyone. His engagement contract was torn up in front of him, and at Qinglan Academy, one cold stare and humiliation followed another.
At the instant his Natal Aspect was about to vanish completely, the Myriad Aspects Divine Ruins, dormant for countless ages in the depths of his bloodline, slowly opened.
Others painstakingly cultivate a single aspect and follow the Dao of that one aspect.
But he can enter the ruins to analyze fragments of countless aspect laws, unravel the principles behind myriad aspects, and forge a path of shattered-aspect cultivation uniquely his own.
But analyzing aspect laws entangles him in tribulation runes. One misstep, and his soul will be annihilated.
"If the Great Dao of this world will not allow those with shattered aspects to cultivate, then I'll take shattered aspects as my foundation and recreate the myriad aspects from within the ruins!"
He braves the rivalries of the academy, claims opportunities in secret realms, overcomes the heavens' prodigies, and uncovers the sealed secrets of the ancient Aspect Dao.
When the gates of the ruins finally open, the myriad aspects will bow, and the Lord of the Ruins will descend!
