No One Wants to Be Emperor

Yun Yao, the legitimate eldest grandson of the Yun family of cultivators, trained for thirteen years without a trace of qi, and was pushed off a cliff by his half-brother and the woman who broke off their engagement. In desperation, the jade pendant he wore awakened—the jade was one of the ninety-nine strands of divine consciousness scattered across the vast world when the Heartless Emperor self-destructed three hundred years ago. The divine consciousness recognized him as its destined one: one man and one jade, using death to take revenge on one side while seeking a way to completely slay the Demon Emperor. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: No One Wants to Be Emperor — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
