Born with the Tide

Mo Wan was seventeen when a new character appeared in his bracelet: "Tribulation." The Crimson Sky Marrow, an ancient spirit artifact guarded by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for three hundred years, had bound itself to a young master from the mortal realm. And then everyone came. The Shen family of the Spirit Realm grabbed him by the neck and called him a "bumpkin." The poor boy next door, Fang Juexia, slapped their hands away, not backing down even with two broken ribs. Mo Wan thought Fang Juexia was protecting him—only later did he realize that Fang Juexia was protecting what was inside the bracelet. Fang Juexia, with a Geng Metal spiritual root, was an abandoned son of the Fang family. His mother had been taken by turbid qi cultivators ten years ago. He had known Mo Wan since childhood but never admitted it. Until the bracelet lit up. "Your hand is shaking." "...It's cold." Who was he fooling? The turbid tide came early, and the Abyssal Rift cracked open. Fang Juexia's Heavenly Sword Bone seal had cracked by thirty percent; another twenty and he would explode. Mo Wan had just entered the Spirit Realm stage, and his Crimson Sky blood could repair the seal—but taking a single drop would drop his cultivation back to the Golden Core stage, and the bracelet would no longer be able to hold back the turbid tide. "Use my blood." "No." Seventeen years old, one bracelet, one life. The Crimson Sky Marrow is both a lock and a key—whichever side he chooses, the world will follow. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Born with the Tide — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
