Shen Du Asks the Way

In the back mountain of Qingyun Sect, on a nameless low peak, a menial youth named Shen Du, whose spiritual root was damaged and cultivation regressed, was thrown into an abandoned spiritual field to fend for himself. Everyone said his path of cultivation was severed. While prodigies of his generation shone in the inner sect competition, Shen Du squatted between field ridges turning soil and channeling springs. While sect elders argued red-faced over secret realm quotas, Shen Du pored over three tattered old books borrowed from the menial courtyard under an oil lamp. While the entire Central State stirred with undercurrents for the impending opening of an ancient ruin, the land beneath Shen Du's feet was sending its first dull pulse. Can one whose spiritual energy has leaked away make the earth his sea and veins his roots? On a lonely peak of the Great Wilderness, a mere menial, with a mortal body, questions the heavenly dao. This time, he will make those high and mighty know— The spiritual root is broken, but the path is not necessarily broken. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Shen Du Asks the Way — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
