Feeding the Pearl

【Symbiotic cultivation style, no filler, no female lead】 Twice he reached the pinnacle of the world, twice he died and vanished. Lu Jingheng, carrying a remnant soul, was cast into a brand-new mortal realm by a fragment of the Primordial Chaos Pearl. Heaven's Dao, wary of this pearl, sealed off all his conventional cultivation paths. Meditation was useless, pills ineffective, and inherited legacies of no help at all. To survive, he had to traverse the world's perilous places, seek rare treasures to feed the pearl, and exchange myriad wonders for a thread of cultivation. Stopping meant death. This world was itself a cage for raising gu. The Illuminating Mirror hung in the sky, watching every move. The Immortal-Slaying Grand Array locked the realm's ceiling, trapping all beings in fate. Unable to escape Heaven's Dao's suppression or the world's prying eyes, he could only gamble his life, break through to Spirit Transformation, shatter the barriers, and sneak into the Immortal Realm. Defying heaven to break the game, tearing apart every shackle of fate bound to him. — Description from novelcodex.org
