Yang Fan acquires the game helmet for the groundbreaking full‑immersion xianxia MMORPG Mystic Wasteland Dao Realm and steps into a highly realistic cultivation world. The complete LitRPG system runs in full force, while NPCs and major player guilds scheme against each other behind the scenes. For the first 18 chapters, he plays it safe, grinding slowly. Then he finds a mysterious bronze armguard and uncovers a clue to the "Ying" bloodline. In chapter 19, he becomes the patriarch under Ying Yao's tutelage, and the Divine Curse activates with a cruel effect: any high‑quality equipment that enters his inventory or is worn by him is forcibly degraded to the lowest‑grade common gear. However, the ordinary iron sword from the newbie village transforms into the Tianyin Sword, carrying a unique, overpowered effect: 100% defense penetration. In this game, armor is king. Bosses stack it so high that .,most players deal zero damage. But Yang Fan's attacks ignore armor entirely, striking with pure true damage. That lets him slay supposedly unbeatable bosses way above his level. Add in sharp combat instincts and street‑smart social skills, he used to be a professional shill and knows exactly how people think, and he plays NPC powers and corporate guilds against each other, carving his own territory through wit and nerve. What to expect: A highly realistic xianxia VR world, NPC scheming, and genuine guild rivalries Slow and steady progression from the bottom Map exploration and constant negotiation with multiple factions Action‑packed, no harem, no romance Key story beats. Curse foreshadowing in Chapters 1‑18. Divine curse activates in Chapter 19. One chapter a day. Read thirty chapters ahead on Patreon.
