The Death Judge

A few pieces of silver, and he sold his mortal body, becoming a substitute sacrifice for a rich young master. On the night of the massacre, his heart was pierced by a sword. At the brink of death, the jade pendant on his chest melted, and the power of the Book of Life and Death surged into his broken body. He transformed into a judge walking the human world. Yet as his cultivation deepened, his seemingly ordinary parents—a pair of schoolteachers—became the greatest mystery he could not fathom. Why did the most ordinary farming family possess a legacy coveted even by immortal cultivation sects? And why did the entire village seem to be guarding something? The judge's brush can sever life and death, but it cannot sever the shackles on his closest kin. A mortal frame, wielding the brush to defy heaven, judging the life and death of all under heaven. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Death Judge — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
