The Cities Still Burn [Xianxia]

They buried a slave… but birthed a monster. Deep within the depths of a demonic sect, a branded boy toils amidst the suffocating dark. However, in the furthest reaches of his soul, an ancient entity stirs, waiting to unleash a power strong enough to defy the Heavens. When the sect burns and the dead refuse to rest, they will begins their path toward immortal ascension and rise to conquer both the world above and the demons within. What to expect: • Grim and somewhat realistic cultivation fantasy • An anti-hero that you’ll empathize with • A Xianxia without info dumps • Occasionally the MC is OP (There are limits.) This is a rewrite! If you see this series on any other site that is not Royalroad, it is being pirated and I did not release it there.
