Dao Seal Ascends the Heavens

With a mixed five-element spiritual root, Lu Chen is deemed a waste by the cultivation world. As the orphan of an ancient realm guardian, he bears the Heartlink Dao Seal, yet after three years of cultivation, he remains at the third level of Qi Refining, on the verge of being expelled from the Azure Cloud Sect. With no path to ascend alone, he forges an unprecedented path of heartlink cultivation. He gathers seven outcast geniuses abandoned by the world: the broken-sword lone wolf Li Canghai, the titan body cultivator Yan Sui, the sickly poison doctor Su Qinghan, the greedy formation master Zhuge Xing, the hot-tempered artifact loli Tang Xiaoyao, and the shadow assassin Ye Ying, forming the most incredible Seven Star Team in the cultivation world. While others struggle for decades to advance a single stage, these seven resonate their spiritual power and dao seals, unleashing combined divine abilities that slay Nascent Soul with Golden Core, and battle Soul Transformation with Nascent Soul, making cross-realm kills effortless. Sect oppression, prodigy defiance, and upper-realm harvesting are all crushed by the Seven Star Unity. When an ancient secret realm opens, the truth is revealed: spiritual energy depletion is a lie, ascension to immortality is a trap, and the upper realm has been using the lower realm as blood fodder against the alien evil race. As the extraterrestrial evil race breaks free and the heavens collapse, the seven use their bonds as swords and their heartlink as a seal, defying the heavens to forge a new order for the world! — Description from novelcodex.org
