Eternal Vows Awaiting Redemption

All things in heaven and earth harbor unfulfilled wishes. A broken sword yearns for home, a barren mountain desires a river, a peerless technique seeks one final move to be completed, and even a beast suppressed for ten thousand years awaits a long-overdue answer. Lu Xian, a menial disciple of the Guihe Sect, unexpectedly gains the ability to hear the last wishes of all things. While others raid secret realms for treasures, he arranges funerals for artifacts; while others kneel begging divine swords to acknowledge them, the broken sword he picks up insists it is a kitchen knife. Fulfilling these wishes grants him techniques, inheritances, and gifts from heaven and earth. Yet Lu Xian soon discovers—wishes can conceal, obsessions can lie, and even ancient heroes may not be worth saving. As countless buried promises awaken, the greatest secret of the Nine Wastelands gradually emerges: this world owes all beings a path. Lu Xian lifts the broken sword that calls itself a kitchen knife and embarks on a journey to redeem the eternal vows. "Let's be clear: fulfilling vows is fine, but saving the world costs extra." — Description from novelcodex.org
