Dao Lord: Starting from Foundation Establishment at Penglai

The wind rises over the Mountains and Rivers Realm, and a great tribulation stirs the Nine Heavens above. Jiang Sheng is born into the vast Shanhe Great World and enters Penglai, a sect devoted to the Dao. At the age of eight, he takes his vow upon the Dao; four years are spent mastering the written word, and after six more years of diligent cultivation, he achieves Foundation Establishment through the Heavenly Dao. Yet just as he takes his first true step along the path of immortality, a great calamity begins to stir, and the winds and clouds of the world gather in response. As prodigies from the four directions converge and malevolent beings—wraiths, ghosts, and corrupt gods—emerge from the darkness, Jiang Sheng meets them all blade in hand. The road to eternal life unfolds before him, and the title of Dao Lord already lies beneath his feet. Thus it is said: He took his vow at the Penglai Pavilion, and he shall reign supreme in the Heaven of Upper Clarity. A pure mortal's cultivation tale—no system, no golden finger, and no mysterious grandfather hidden in a ring. Only one man's steady climb toward the Dao.
