Tempering the World

Nine million years have passed since the fall of the Great Nirvana Era. When that ancient battlefield shattered, it claimed a portion of the mortal realm's living beings, ancient ruins, and spiritual energy—scattering them into the void. Now, in an age where cultivators will draw blades over a single wisp of qi, an ordinary mortal named Lu Yunxiao stands at the very bottom of the world. With no system to guide him and no divine artifact to empower him, he must rely solely on his own will and flesh to break the age-old shackles and claw his way upward, step by painful step, from nothing but a mortal frame.
