Cultivating Clan: I Am the Guardian Spirit Stone

After an unexpected transmigration, Chen Yang awakens not as a mighty cultivator, nor a prodigious genius—but as a sentient spirit stone, bound to the earth and silent to the world. Unlike ordinary stones, he can absorb spiritual energy, slowly growing in power. With each breakthrough, new abilities emerge, though none yet grant him freedom. For twenty years, he lies dormant, unnoticed—until fate intervenes. When a hidden secret realm opens, two desperate cultivators from the declining Yang Family stumble upon him. Unaware of his consciousness, they take him back to their clan, unknowingly setting in motion a chain of events that will reshape their family’s destiny. Now, as an unseen guardian, Chen Yang must navigate the clan’s struggles from the shadows—strengthening them, testing them, and perhaps one day… revealing himself. — Description from novelcodex.org
