The Hundredfold Path

A forbidden path. A hundred ways to walk it. One chance to survive.

In the Nine Realms, every cultivator follows one of the Ten Great Paths—Sword, Pill, Formation, Beast-Taming, and more.
Liang Shen was never meant to walk any of them.

A street urchin selling fake talismans in the outer city, his life changes when a dying elder presses a fragment of a strange, blackened scroll into his hand. The runes burn into his mind—runes from a cultivation method erased from history: the Hundredfold Path.

Each mark he carves into his core grants mastery over a new discipline. Each merge between Paths births powers unseen for millennia. But every step draws the attention of sects, clans, and cultivators who would kill to possess his secret—or bury it forever.

With enemies closing in and the Paths within him threatening to tear his core apart, Liang Shen must master the art of survival… and decide just how many Paths he dares to walk before the world itself turns against him.
