In a world where power is everything, the heavens bless cultivators with dantian—cores that allow them to cultivate qi and ascend through realms. Shen Zian, once the first-born heir of the prestigious Shen Clan, is betrayed on the eve of his awakening ceremony. His dantian is shattered, and he is discarded as trash—exiled to the outer wilderness.
But fate has other plans.
When a dying mutated beast transfers its beast core to Zian, his path takes a turn no one could foresee. His broken body becomes a vessel for a new kind of cultivation—one that relies on beast cores to absorb qi. From forbidden techniques to ancient legacies, from taming divine beasts to wielding corpse qi, Zian will carve a path defying heaven itself.
