River God Bestows an Axe, Mixed Spiritual Roots Cleave the Path to Immortality

A mortal youth, Lu Changgeng, toils for three years as a laborer to save his dying mother, seeking only one life-saving pill. By chance, his honesty earns him the favor of the River God, who grants him an ancient immortal axe capable of splitting space and opening a celestial mansion. With this axe and his mediocre five-element mixed spiritual roots, he defies fate and steps onto the path of cultivation. To obtain the cure for his mother, he is drawn into a bloody feud among the four elders of the Taiwei Sect and the sect's former leader, becoming a pawn in their schemes. Amid this deadly game, he hides his true power, weaving through rival factions, while forming a deep bond with the mad guardian Mo Lao—a man who has long given up on life. At the breaking point, he turns the tables on his enemies, secures the antidote, and walks away unscathed. Carrying the trust and legacies of those who believed in him, he finally sets foot on his own immortal path.
