The Wrong Way to Cultivate

Baek Cheol was never a genius.He was never chosen by heaven. Raised within the Scarlet Vein Sect, he survived on raw strength and endurance alone—until betrayal handed him to the orthodox sects as a living trophy. His tendons were severed.His dantian was crushed.His cultivation was reduced to less than one percent. He should have disappeared. Instead, he adapted. For nearly a century, Baek Cheol lived as a crippled demon—hunted, broken, and feared—slaughtering his way through the martial world with nothing but a ruined body and overwhelming reserves. Now, he has returned to the moment before his betrayal. This time, he will not chase perfect cultivation.He will not trust sects, heavens, or techniques. He already knows what a broken body can become. And this time—he will be whole.
