Stealing the Immortal!

A century spent as a menial servant, his withered bones still gazing longingly at the gates of immortality. He entered the sect as a bright-eyed child, only to return home bearing the weight of a dying sun. Ascending to immortality is a perilous journey where countless souls compete for a single, narrow path, demanding flawless fortune, noble lineage, and innate talent. Like venomous insects fighting in a confined pool, cultivators struggle against one another, believing they might one day leap free and grasp the Great Dao, utterly unaware that a vast net has already been cast beyond their sight by those who control their fate. Yet within this ruthless system stands Chen Qingyang, a hundred-year-old elder of the Taixu Sect, who harbors a forbidden secret: an artifact capable of stealing the very essence of immortal prodigies.
