The Discarded Dao Ancestor

Before the Dao-Repelling Stele of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Shen Yan was stripped of his Dao name and expelled from the immortal registry, becoming a laughingstock of the entire sect. Everyone said his spiritual roots had collapsed, leaving him with mortal bones, unworthy of seeking the Dao. No one saw that beneath his broken spiritual roots lay a congenital Dao fetus, feared and personally sealed by Heaven. Three years ago, he was the sect's prodigy; three years later, he was cast into the bitter mortal realm. In the wind and snow, Shen Yan swore: 'Today Heaven abandons me to the mortal world; tomorrow I will establish my own Dao and surpass Heaven.' While all beings follow Heaven's path, he alone carves his own; when the myriad Dao realms unite against him, he founds his own sect and becomes the ancestor of all Dao. The Holy Maiden Su Qingyao secretly protects him, accompanying him through trials, clear in gratitude and vengeance, bold in action. No system, no transmigration—this is orthodox classical xianxia, a hot-blooded tale of a discarded disciple's rise, with a single female lead, long-term companionship, and a journey to the pinnacle. — Description from novelcodex.org
