Inside the ruined main hall, beneath a shattered dragon pillar, Li Tian uncovered what he had searched for his entire life — a jade slip glowing faintly with golden characters.
The Heaven-Defying Nine Revolutions.
A forbidden cultivation method.
His master's final inheritance.
As Li Tian pressed the jade slip to his forehead, searing pain flooded his mind. Images exploded within his consciousness:
• A figure standing above the clouds, splitting the heavens with one sword strike.
• Golden meridians circulating like dragons.
• A voice echoing:
"To cultivate this art, one must defy fate itself."
Li Tian's lips curled into a determined smile.
"Then I will defy it."
