In a world where cultivation was once a legend of the ancient past, the mystical arts have begun to stir again. As spiritual energy floods back into existence, nations scramble to form cultivation academies, and families with hidden legacies rise from dormancy.
At the center of this rebirth is Arin Vale, a boy from a powerful and ancient family — though he knows little of its true history. Sent to one of the first cultivation academies, Arin must navigate newfound power, fierce rivals, and the heavy expectations placed upon his bloodline, all while walking his own slow, steady, and genuine path.
Unbeknownst to Arin, the rebirth of cultivation will awaken far greater forces — forces that will judge not only mortals but even the so-called gods.
