Beyond Talent: A Cultivator’s Tale
Nestled at the foot of the Sleeping Giant Mountain lies the Soul Saint Kingdom's smallest village, a place where legends stir the hearts of the young. Fourteen-year-old Xue San, ever since a fateful encounter at the tender age of eight, has nurtured a singular dream: to become a cultivator and rise above the humble confines of his birthplace.
But beyond the protective embrace of his village, the cultivation world reveals itself as a harsh and unforgiving realm. Talent is the currency of worth, and in the eyes of others, Xue San is a useless, talentless boy. The brutal truth crushes many, but not him.
"If I cannot fly, I will run," he whispers to himself. "If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. But no matter what, I will keep moving forward."
Amidst scorn and adversity, Xue San's resolve hardens. The path ahead is treacherous, but his spirit remains unbroken. In a world determined to cast him aside, he vows to carve his own destiny, one step at a time.
Ps: I will also be posting in royalroad!
I will try to post at least 3 chapters a week (at least 2.3k words a chapter)
I’ll admit, I’m a bit shameless when I say this novel deserves five stars, but it's telling a parent not to love their child. The book traces the journey of Xue San, flaws and all, as he matures step by step. After all, every one of us makes mistakes, and growth often comes from learning our way through them. Over the course of the story, readers will see Xue San not only grow more powerful but also gain wisdom, all while gradually uncovering the mysteries surrounding him and his unusual abilities.
