In a world where talent determines destiny, one boy was born with none. Six-year-old Xu Ran has no spiritual roots worth mentioning, no family name, and no memory of where he came from. Raised by the kind villagers of Bai Hua on the empire's forgotten periphery, he knows nothing of cultivators, sacred arts, or the path to immortality. Then the beasts come. When a devastating siege destroys everything he's ever known, Xu Ran is left with a single, burning vow: If I had the power, no one would have died. Rescued by an itinerant cultivator with secrets of his own, Xu Ran begins the long road of cultivation — through stages that stronger, more gifted disciples clear in months. What he lacks in talent, he makes up for with something rarer: patience that outlasts mountains, and a will that bends for no one. The path to immortality was never meant for someone like him. He'll walk it anyway. A grounded, slow-burn cultivation saga. No chosen-one shortcuts, no instant power-ups — every step of strength is earned. New chapters daily during launch.
