Ashes of the Ninth Heaven

Betrayed by his fiancée and sacrificed as a living furnace ingredient by his own sect, crippled outer disciple Lin Xiao falls into the sealed Ninth Heaven Ruins — and wakes with a broken seed in his dantian. The khuyết đạo chủng: a deficient dao seed that grants no power, answers no questions, and saves no one. It does exactly one thing — drink the brokenness of the world: cracked arrays, severed lineages, shattered inheritances. And through years of study, resources, experimentation and blood, let him finish what they started. He is officially dead. His enemies are coming down to check. Good. The dead have nothing left to lose — and everything left to learn.
