Demon Cultivation from Demonic Bones

In Heishui City, Junheng Prefecture, Chen Ye is an orphan from the slums who scored zero on two spiritual root tests. He cultivates neither dantian nor spiritual roots, using a demonic body to inherit demonic arts, seeking immortality through demonic cultivation. He obtains two cultivation manuals from a skeleton and releases a prisoner from a seal. The prisoner says, 'Twenty years, I'll keep you alive.' Chen Ye replies, 'Deal.' At the time, they both thought it was just a transaction. It was only much later that Chen Ye understood—humans seek immortality, demons seek humans. Fate had long tied a dead knot.
