Mystery
The stench of rotten food, smoke, and sewage hung heavy in the humid air of Donghai's slums. It was the kind of place where dreams went to die-unless you were Li Tianming. Barefoot and shirtless, Tianming crouched beside a broken-down noodle cart, his lean body glistening with sweat and grease. His fingers moved quickly, fixing the cart's axle with a bent wrench he'd salvaged from a junkyard. "You're a miracle worker, Tianming," said Old Ma, the cart's owner, a frail man in his sixties with a smoker's cough. "Come by tomorrow, I'll have leftover noodles for you." Tianming flashed a tired smile. "I don't fix things for food, Uncle Ma. Just remember my face when I'm famous." Old Ma chuckled, thinking it was a joke. But Tianming wasn't joking. He looked up. In the distance, the neon skyline of central Donghai pulsed with life. Towers scraped the clouds-homes of the rich and powerful, those who would never set foot in these slums. But one day, he swore, he would stand above them all. As he walked back toward the abandoned train container he called home, a voice stopped him. "Li Tianming?" Who is Li Tainming? What is his real identity? What forced him to do this kind of work? Read the novel and find out

In a world of immortal cultivation and demonic strife, Ling Han's life was marked by tragedy from the start. His parents mysteriously vanished when he was a child, and his village was massacred soon after. Barely surviving, he was taken in by an elder of the Qingzhu Immortal Sect, but Ling Han's weak spiritual root made him a laughingstock. Mocked by his fellow disciples and even looked down upon by his master, he endured endless humiliation. One fateful day, Ling Han returned to the ruins of his childhood home and discovered a small jar he had long forgotten. The jar, infused with a hidden power, resonated with the world's spiritual energy and unlocked his dormant potential. His weak spiritual root was transformed, and with the jar's guidance, Ling Han began mastering a mysterious cultivation method that rapidly increased his strength. As his abilities grew, those who had once scorned him began to take notice, but it was too late. Ling Han's rise was unstoppable. However, unlike many power-hungry cultivators, Ling Han held onto his principles. Instead of seeking ruthless vengeance, he pursued justice and balance, proving that a true cultivator should embody more than just raw power. With unwavering will and compassion, Ling Han forged his way to the pinnacle of cultivation, guided by the jar's ancient secrets. Those who wronged him were dealt with, but always in accordance with his belief in fairness, standing as a symbol of what a true immortal should be.
