Roots of Ascension

[No System, No Harem, Classic Xianxia, Ruthless and Resolute, Mortal Cultivation Path]

“Heaven’s Dao diminishes the surplus to fill the deficient. Man’s way takes from the deficient to serve the surplus. Thus, those who are diminished cannot tread the Great Dao, while those who have excess may defy destiny.”

Yu Xian, an orphan from Elm Village, was destined to live an ordinary life—until he formed a bond with the ancient Great Elm.

With the spirit of the elm flowing through his veins, he awakened his spiritual roots and stepped onto the path of cultivation.

To carve his meridians from the veins of the elm, to ascend to immortality with its strength—

This is the story of a mortal who dares to defy Heaven and rise as an immortal beneath the shade of an ancient tree!
