Defiant Cauldron Emperor

Opening his eyes, James finds himself reborn as Jiang Heng, a humble mountain dweller in the depths of the Great Qing Dynasty’s wilds, scraping a living by harvesting treasures from the mountains. The mountains teem with countless riches, yet they are shrouded in deadly miasma, overrun by demons, and haunted by unspeakable forbidden zones where life itself dares not tread… Hunting treasures in these peaks is a gamble with death itself! But aided by a mysterious golden cauldron, Jiang Heng can tread the forbidden zones and devour the toxic miasma, transforming it into boundless supernatural powers! Summoning winds, calling rains, shifting mountains, and overturning seas—he even glimpses the threads of the future! From now on, the vast forbidden zones become his personal treasury. While others fight tooth and nail over a mere century-old lingzhi, his pockets brim with immortal herbs beyond counting. While others spill blood to become mere martial cultivators, he wields the secrets of immortal cultivation, basking in eternal youth and reigning invincible over the world! I arrive, I see, I conquer!
