(High IQ + Ruthless Kills + No Female Lead + Not a Saint + Mortal Cultivation Style + Cold-Hearted)

For hundreds of thousands of years,

Why has no one ascended to immortality?

And those who did—why did they all fall?

Chen Changsheng, in pursuit of the eternal path,

uncovers a cultivation world built on lies, schemes, and betrayal.

So he abandons mercy.

With cruel and decisive methods,

he tears open the secrets of the cultivation realm,

slaughters all who stand in his way,

and forges the righteous path… with his own hands!
