The Nameless Dao

Gu Changyuan was born in a border city of the Great Wilderness, with a five-element mixed spiritual root. In this cultivation world where sects rank people by spiritual roots and all three thousand great daos are named and ordered, such aptitude meant his life would likely be confined to the lowest rung. But no one knew that he wasn't incapable of cultivation—it was just that none of the existing paths in heaven and earth suited him. After a life-and-death crisis, Gu Changyuan glimpsed before a wordless stele a path never recorded and never named by heaven and earth. From then on, he rose from the borderlands, contending for spirit medicines, seizing opportunities, joining sects, battling prodigies, and exploring secret realms, breaking through again and again between life and death. Others cultivated the daos left by predecessors. He walked a path never before seen in the world. But as his cultivation grew higher, Gu Changyuan gradually discovered that the three thousand great daos were not all of heaven and earth. The erased ancient histories, the taboos no one dared mention, and the secrets hidden by all the myriad worlds all seemed to point to one answer: some daos are unknown not because no one ever walked them, but because those who walked them were forgotten by heaven and earth. This dao has no name. — Description from novelcodex.org
