Synopsis
Xu Ziqing had been sickly in his previous life. In this one, he wanted the opposite — open skies, rivers, a life that moved at his own pace. Then at thirteen, in a single morning, everything changed: spiritual roots had appeared. In this world, that meant one thing. Those who declined the path to immortality became stepping stones. Xu Ziqing pushed forward. Five hundred years of cultivation follow — a journey from dust to the height of the nine skies, built entirely on his own refusal to become someone else's footnote.
