The First Dao Seeker

In a world defined by traditional cultivation and mortal struggles, Li Yan, an orphaned youth from Li Family Village, survives by chopping wood and hunting. With no system, cheats, or external advantages to aid him, his life changes abruptly when he is caught in the crossfire of a fierce battle between Core Formation cultivators. Amidst the chaos, the dying remnant soul of an elder from the Zhiyang Sect binds itself to Li Yan’s mountain-splitting axe. Taking the boy as his disciple, the elder imparts a secret technique to repair spiritual roots, guiding Li Yan onto the path of immortality. Yet, this journey toward the Dao is fraught with peril, every step paved with thorns and hardship.
