The path of immortals is a long one. Jiang doesn't have time to take it slow.

Jiang is a hunter in a quiet village far from the world of sects, spirits, and soaring swords. When powerful bandits destroy his village and steal his family, he resolves to do anything to get them back.

 

Even become a cultivator.

 

Jiang has three weeks to ignite his core—a feat that takes most years to accomplish. To actually join the sect, he must impress the elders, and none of them expect anything from a backwater kid faking his age to meet the minimum for admission.

 

Among immortals, he is a peasant. A child. A nobody. Until his prodigious natural talent becomes as difficult to ignore as his sharp tongue.

 

He’ll shatter expectations and limits—even if he has to go it alone.
