Voidroot: The Cracked Gate

Every cultivator sees qi. Wei sees where it fails. Born with a cracked core, Wei is condemned as useless by the Qingyun Sect. He cannot store qi or follow any known path of cultivation. But the fracture lets him perceive what immortals cannot: flaws in meridians, blind spots in formations, and wounds hidden inside reality itself. When the sect’s Aptitude Stone breaks beneath his hand, Wei discovers that his defect is not a failed path. It is a language—and something beyond the sky has been writing in it for eleven years. To survive, he must turn absence into cultivation before the ancient arrays fail. THE DAO WAS SHATTERED TO SAVE YOU. DO NOT RESTORE IT.
