Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to stay a coward. He wants to be strong.

Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

It all begins here.

[Disclaimer: This is an addictive, slow-burn harem story about a hard-working protagonist who wants to get stronger for the people he loves. If you're sick and tired of reading the same old cultivation stories about OP MCs who never work for their power, this novel will give you new life. You will laugh, cry, scream kawaii, and probably curse the author every so often. Prepare for everything from slice-of-life to action/adventure to epic battles and political machinations and everything in-between!]

Severing Time & Space

The matches continued to proceed apace, and the last day of the preliminaries arrived. Wu Jian, Hou Jingshu, and Yu Qiang watched all the matches and held discussions on the most powerful contenders. Most everybody who won their preliminaries had held themselves back. They were all sure these people hadn’t revealed all their cards, but they at least got a good estimation of the abilities they had shown. All three agreed that they would need to keep an open mind if they fought any of these people. Adaptability would be the key to winning against stronger opponents like Húndàn Wang and Mei Xilan. 


“Congratulations to all the people who passed the preliminaries. 512 of you have made it to the tournament proper, but all of you have displayed skill and talent that brings honor to your families and sects. You have proven yourselves to be truly capable cultivators. I am astonished by the strength that has been displayed these past seven days.”
