Borrowed Heaven: The Talent Thief's Ascension

When Su Bai opens his eyes in another world, he finds himself inhabiting the body of a mortal kingdom's third prince.

The title sounds impressive-until he discovers that emperors are little more than dust before immortal cultivators. Worse still, his new body was born without a spiritual root. In a world where talent determines destiny, he has no right even to begin cultivating.

Then an immortal art from a game he once played awakens within him: Talent Reflection.

By touching another cultivator, Su Bai can choose and copy one of their innate gifts.

A Heavenly Spiritual Root. A Five-Element Dao Body. A Void Sword Bone. A peerless gift for alchemy. Blessings that Heaven reserves for its chosen can now become his.

At a gathering of immortal sects, Su Bai approaches the renowned prodigy Ye Qingxuan with a friendly smile.

"Long time no see."

The moment his hand lands on the young genius's shoulder, a dazzling list of talents unfolds before his eyes.

If Heaven refuses to grant him a path, Su Bai will take one for himself.

From a rootless mortal prince to a sword-wielding Dao Lord who commands myriad arts, he will forge a road to immortality that belongs to him alone.
