Taixu Spiritual Realm: I Am Really Not a Mortal

In the vast Cangxuan Realm, where immortal sects flourish and myriad races vie for supremacy, cultivation begins with awakening a spiritual root to channel heaven and earth energy. Chen Yan has spent three years as an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, repeatedly failing his spiritual root assessments and branded as a mere mortal. Shunned by his peers and pitied by the elders, he is destined to remain a lowly handyman sweeping floors for eternity. Yet, hidden deep within his consciousness lies the mysterious Taixu Spiritual Realm—a primordial dimension embodying eternal Daoist laws. While others toil in meditation for a day, Chen Yan deduces millennia of cultivation techniques within the spiritual realm; while mortals desperately fight for ancient secret tomes, he sits in quiet contemplation as the realm naturally generates supreme scriptures. He is not lacking a spiritual root; rather, his physical vessel is so immensely powerful that the Heavenly Dao itself conceals his aura, making him appear entirely ordinary to the outside world. During the sect tournament, arrogant disciples attempt to cripple the "mortal handyman"; in secret realms, proud prodigies dismiss him as dead weight; and when demonic forces invade, he is left behind to face certain doom. Thrust into one crisis after another, Chen Yan is forced to reveal his true might. With a flick of his wrist, he shatters magic treasures, effortlessly neutralizes ancient restrictions that baffle sect elders, and suppresses millennium-old demons with a casual smile. As the dumbfounded crowds stare in sheer terror and demand to know his true realm, Chen Yan simply shrugs in resignation and says, "Everyone, please calm down—I am really not a cultivator, just an ordinary person."
