Action

Qi Condensation. Foundation Establishment.  Core Formation. In the current world, only these three realms are known  to be achievable. Nascent Soul is but a legend and the realms above it  lost to the the long river of time. The modern era is known as  Cultivation Civilization, a balance of power and civility, excess and  moderation. While cultivation remains a secret practice, it has long  since exposed itself to the mundane world, quietly intertwined with each  facet of society. While the world appears to be at peace, what lies  underneath is a conflict between human, cultivator, and demon, brewing  for ages and waiting to implode. Yet in the wake of humanity’s rapid  industrialization, qi—and consequently cultivation—is dying.
    Besieged on all sides by demon and human, Xu Yangyi, our protagonist,  strives to reach the apex, armed only with esoteric knowledge and his  cool pragmatism, and to avenge the unjust deaths of both his parents.  Embroiled in conspiracy and with adversity waiting at each turn, he is  undeterred in his conquest to seek the Grand Dao and break free of this  world’s shackles, claiming his title as the pioneer of an era!
