Synopsis

Two fates await mortals who possess the ability to cultivate. Those who show promise are sworn into the Sect where they begin a long and arduous journey on the path to Immortality. The rest are taught a severed dao and forced into servitude.

Jin Sou belonged to the second group.

Instead of climbing the immortal peaks, he was sent underground to toil in the perilous shafts of a spiritual crystal mine. Just another body in the army of miners, all struggling for survival among fiends and corrupting energies, cultivating a broken path with no hope of advancement.

His future seemed sealed. Until the day he unearthed a mysterious treasure that never should have appeared in a place like this.

Now he has a chance to overturn his fate. But to stand against the greed of cultivators and navigate the schemes of Immortal Clans millennia in the making, he will have to carve his own path and forge bonds of friendship with those around him.

And even then, the Heavens themselves will never allow a true Immortal to arise.

What to expect:

— a satisfying slow-burn weak to strong progression

— fleshed out world and cultivation system

— a classic xianxia epic (in the making)

— dancing wooden monk?

— gauche iguana??
