Eternal Path of Mortals

Shen Yuan was just an ordinary village youth at the foot of Mount Azure — poor, quiet, and far too kind for the ruthless world beyond his home. He never sought power, fame, or glory… only a peaceful life. But fate had other plans. After saving a dying cultivator, Shen Yuan is suddenly chosen by the prestigious Blossom Spring Sect, stepping onto a path that would lead him far beyond the mortal world. From that moment onward, his life of simplicity ends — replaced by spiritual cultivation, ancient sect rivalries, and the endless pursuit of immortality. Yet even as he treads the path that countless have perished upon, Shen Yuan’s heart remains unchanged. For him, immortality is not about standing above others — but about protecting those below. From the quiet fields of a forgotten village to the heavens themselves, this is the tale of a mortal who seeks eternity not for power, but for meaning. Because even in a world where gods ascend and demons fall… the purest hearts can defy the heavens.
