Synopsis

After being promoted to the Lin Clan Sect Residence’s main division, Lin Han was one step closer to his dream of martial arts prestige, or so he thought. Despite his grueling and hard training, his abilities were stuck in a plateau — there was no improvement in his power, no matter how hard he trained. What would happen to his dream? What would happen to Xiao Nu, his handmaiden that he had brought from his home village by promising her a better life? Lin Han would endure his suffering for a year, praying hard for the Heavens to see his predicament, until one day the First Ancient Dragon Emperor saw his vicious tenacity and fighting spirit. The First Ancient Dragon Emperor would choose Lin Han to receive an inheritance of his infinite power in exchange for the fulfillment of his dying wish — to see his traitorous lover, Lan Bingyan, slain by Lin Han’s hand. Armed with the power of a god, join our hero as he bursts through the ranks of martial arts and seizes his status as a legend!

Chapter 1With Strength, You Can Do Whatever You Want

The blazing sun rose high in the early morning, casting its light upon the vast lands below.

In a verdant and dense mountain forest, the sun was slightly dimmed, and the air was tinged with coolness.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

In the thick forest, a young figure dressed in blue was running. His steps were steady and his body was like a monkey's, extremely flexible.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the young man's figure stopped. He clapped his palm at an old tree in front of him.

"Roar!"

From his palm, a faint sound like a dragon's groan seemed to ring out.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the young man's palm hit the thick tree trunk. The two collided, and a loud cry immediately sounded.

Rustle!

Many leaves fell from the ancient tree as it shook. A distinct palm print was left on the old bark.

The young man looked and saw that only a shallow handprint was left. His delicate face could not help but grow bitter.

"This Moving Dragon Palm is the lowest level of low-grade martial arts, but even after cultivating for three whole months, I still can't gain insight regarding its essence."

"My aptitude is really such rubbish. It's been a year since I came to the Lin Clan Sect Residence as a main division disciple, but my martial arts is still at the first tier. I haven't made any progress at all. It's no wonder I can't understand martial arts.

"But I've worked so hard to enter the main division from the subdivision. Do I really have no way of fighting back against the humiliation and the snide looks from the main division disciples have been giving me this past year?"

The young man clenched his fists. His eyes shone brightly with a hint of unwillingness, but also with a hint of helplessness.

The young man in blue was called Lin Han.

He was originally a subdivision disciple from the influential Lin Clan Sect Residence not far from the mountain range.

However, because of an opportunity that arose, Lin Han and his childhood friend Lin Meier came to the main division, where the Lin Clan was the most powerful.

Lin Han had thought that if he came to the main division of the Lin Clan Sect Residence, he would achieve great success and become an admirable powerful warrior that stood over others.

However, reality was cruel. It had been a year since he came to the main division of the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

A whole year!

Lin Han was unable to break through the most basic first tier of martial arts. Moreover, his insight towards martial arts was extremely poor. 

He was indeed the 'trash heap' and 'embodiment of mediocrity' that the other main division disciples called him.

Lin Han had been depressed for half a year prior to this. 

However, six months ago, Lin Han found out that his childhood friend, Lin Meier, who he used to be extremely close with, had suddenly started to alienate him and mingled with a certain genius disciple from the main division.

Since then, every time Lin Meier saw him, her eyes would be full of disdain and disgust. For some reason, it gave birth to a deep feeling of unwillingness in Lin Han's heart.

So, he pulled himself out of his depression. He wanted to prove himself worthy by cultivating hard.

However, even after half a year, he had not made any progress with his martial arts cultivation. It was as if he was stuck in the first tier. It made Lin Han's heart fall into despair.

Despite that, he insisted on training his mind and body in the mountains every day, fighting with wild beasts.

What Lin Han wanted was to break through his cultivation and stop being mediocre. Otherwise, he would always be the lowly subdivision trash heap in the eyes of those main division disciples.

Throughout the morning, Lin Han cultivated in the mountains, hunting and tempering his physique.

At noon, Lin Han returned from the mountains to Broken Sky City.

Lin Han did not look at the bustling streets of the town and walked directly into the Lin Clan Sect Residence instead.

Over the past few days, he practiced in the mountains. He hunted many wild beasts and obtained many pelts, which he should be able to sell for a good price.

However, the moment Lin Han entered the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

"Oh, if it isn't the trash of our Lin Clan subdivision?"

"What, did you go to the mountains to train again? Haha, you're just a lowly subdivision disciple with mediocre qualifications. No matter how hard you try, you'll always be trash!"

"That's right, subdivision trash, I think you should just learn your place and get out of our Lin Clan Sect Residence. Other clans would laugh if they knew that our Lin Clan has such a disgrace among its ranks. It's really humiliating."

Suddenly, jeers filled with sarcasm rang out.

Lin Han's gaze darkened as he looked forward.

Not far away from the practice hall was a group of young men and women dressed in grand clothes and haughty auras. Their expressions were aloof and prideful; they were the main division disciples.

These main division disciples had a natural sense of superiority and were extremely arrogant in front of Lin Han, who was a subdivision disciple.

Among these main division disciples was a young man in white with incomparably malicious eyes. He suddenly took a step and stood in front of Lin Han.

"What do you want, Lin Shi?"

Lin Han's expression was twisted.

Among the main division disciples, Lin Shi was the one who loved to bully and suppress him the most.

Perhaps it was because Lin Shi was not highly gifted and had a low status among the main division disciples — he could only vent the rage in his heart by bullying Lin Han, a subdivision disciple.

Lin Shi folded his hands behind his back and looked down on Lin Han. "Lin Han, give me the pelts of all the wild animals you killed today, and I'll let you go."

"You…!"

Lin Han's eyes flashed furiously. He gripped the large bundle on his back and said icily, "I've been collecting these pelts for half a month. I can't give them to you."

"You can't? You, measly piece of trash from the subdivision, dare to say no to me? Impudent!" 

Lin Shi's eyes immediately darkened. He strode to Lin Han as his powerful energy poured out from his body like a mountain pressing on Lin Han.

'Although Lin Shi is the weakest of the main division disciples and only at the second tier, he has all sorts of powerful martial arts that only main division disciples can enjoy. Meanwhile, I'm only at the first tier, and I only have the low-grade Moving Dragon Palm. I'm no match for him!'

Lin Han's gaze grew heavy.

He knew that the current him was no match for Lin Shi.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, before Lin Han could react, Lin Shi's palm lightly flew over and landed on Lin Han's chest. Lin Han instantly spit out a mouthful of blood and was blown straight out of the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

"Someone with the worth of a mere dog dares to defy me?"

Lin Shi sneered and walked up to Lin Han, full of contempt. "Did you really think I wanted that worthless bag of sh*t pelts in your bag? I only wanted to bully you a little because that makes me happy, hahaha…"

"You can do whatever you want, is that what you think?" Lin Han was drenched with blood. His voice was incomparably cold.

"Too bad, having strength means being able to do whatever you like." Lin Shi looked at Lin Han who was lying on the ground like a dead dog and narrowed his eyes in derisive pleasure. The corners of his mouth pulled up mockingly as he spoke.

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence. This story has a similar setting as Emperor Dominion, I am a True Villain, and Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go. If you enjoy this type of story, then you will enjoy my story. The first 30 chapters or so have many problems story-wise, so please bear with it as I was just beginning as a writer. However, I promise the story gets better afterward.

I read all the 60 Pre-Released chapters and liked it very much. So I thought why not read it in MTL. And this is my review after completing the novel. This novel has about 1000 chapters out of which I only read about 600 chapters in detail then I just scrolled the Table Of Contents and read the chapters according to the Chapter Title (for various reasons). So although I know the Basic Summary but I don't know in detail what happened between Chapter 600-1000. Now lets discuss about the World Structure, Cultivation Realms, Power Structure. World Structure & Power Structure :- (P.S: I don't know much detail about Power structure because Main Sects appear after Chapter 600) 1. Spirit Continent/Realm (Same Ancient Land where Dragon Emperor asked Lin Han to go for Revenge) This is the main continent of the world in which the story takes place. 3000 years ago after Ice God colluding with Old Man of Time & Space killed Dragon Emperor(secretly), Ancient Dragon Dynasty became chaotic because of mysterious disappearance of Dragon Emperor. Then Ice God came to quell the unrest and after killing many she established her own dynasty which rules the continent, Frost Divine Dynasty. The Continent is divided into five parts namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, Central. 2. Lingwu Continent/Domain/Island (MC's Continent) There are countless islands floating in the endless sea around Spirit Continent. They are called Domains. Lingwu Domain is just one of the domain out of countless others. It falls under the control of Shenwu Qianzhuang, which is a major power of Eastern Wasteland (one of the five sectors of Spirit Realm). There are many Shenwu Academies (branch of Shenwu Qianzhuang) on the Domain through which qualified disciples can go to Shenwu Qianzhuang. Just like Spirit Realm, Lingwu Domain is also divided into 5 sectors, Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern & Central. 3. Southern Sector of Lingwu Domain (MC's Sector) The Southern Region has 17 states, and Xuezhou is the smallest of the 17 states. 4. Xuezhou State (MC's State) There are hundreds of millions of territories in the State, and the Dajin Empire is located in the center of Xuezhou. 5. Dajin Empire (MC's Empire) The most powerful overlord power in the Empire are called "One Sect, Two Palaces, and Three Halls" by the world. "One Sect" refers to Qiankun Jianzong(MC joins this sect). "Two Palaces" refers to the Divine Phoenix Heaven Palace(Lin Ruyan's Mother is from this place) and the Nine Nether Magic Palace. "Three Halls" refers to the Hall of Lord Zun, the Hall of Warlords and the Hall of Corpse Yan. Dajin Empire controls many territories one of which is Yan Kingdom and Tianhou Kingdom/Empire. 6. Tianhou Kingdom/Empire(MC joins a sect in here according to his master's wish) Most Powerful one is The Royal Family. Except for The Royal Family there are 4 other sects. 4 ancestors of these sect has to fight together to be on equal ground with The Emperor. The sects are Tian Jianmen (MC's sect), Iron Sect, Tianqin Valley(It's Valley Master is Lin Ruyan's Father), True Demon Sect. 7. Yan Kingdom (MC's Kingdom) It's the Kingdom from where MC is. In this kingdom Chiyang King(MC's Master) is the most powerful man even more powerful than The Emperor. MC is from the southern most border village named Changyun Village's Lin Family which is a branch of Broken Sky City Lin Family. Cultivation Base:- (P.S: I don't know cultivation base mentioned after chapter 600) 1) Martial Realm 1.1) 9 sub-realms (each divided into Initial, Intermediate, Late, Peak) 2) True Martial Realm 2.1) 2 sub-realms namely Earth & Sky (each divided into Initial, Intermediate, Late, Peak) 3) Spiritual Martial Realm 3.1) 3 sub-realms namely Spiritual Realm, Spiritual Wheel Realm, Soul Realm 3.2) Sub-realms are further divided into 9 realms 4) Dongtian Realm(9 sub-realms) 5) Supernatural / Magical Realm 5.1) 4 sub-realms namely Linghai, Jingu, Sixiang, Hualong 5.2) Sub-realms are further divided into 9 heavens 6) *Holy Realm (Yin-Yang Holy Realm, Nirvana Holy Realm) Till chapter 600 MC didn't even touch this realm so I don't know much about this realm and after it. Now let's talk about Plot development. 1. MC was a trash who was stuck at 1st Heaven of Martial Realm for One Whole Year but after getting Art of Ancient Dragon Emperor, he was able to brakethrough Dongtian Realm within 2.5 Years. Remember, MC didn't inherit Dragon Emperor's Memory or Experience. He only got a Dragon Soul(which increased his Soul cultivation & comprehension talent) and a Cultivation Art. So MC's cultivation talent is still trash. 2. No Bottleneck Exist for MC. As long as there is enough Spirit Stones MC can breakthrough Continuously. No need to care about Solid Foundation. Withing 9 months, MC brokethrough True Martial Earth Realm(newly advanced) to Spiritual Wheel Realm(got into Rank 76 of Top 100). 3. Nothing Challenging. MC can fight above his level and most villains are within his fighting range. And those scare ones who aren't, they can't attack MC due to various reasons. And when they finally attack, they are way below MC's Combat Power. 4. There will be few times when you will think that the complete scenario is very forced. 5. He finally sleeps with Lin Ruyan in Chapter 324 but tells her that He will marry her after reaching Peak of Martial Arts. As for other Females, MC has no romance with them(until chapter 600. after that I don't know). 6. Finally the Shitty Finale. You Can be the judge of that. Just read these two with Google Translate. CH 998 :- https://***.uukanshu.com/b/68245/90594.html (This is The Chapter Previous to Finale) Finale:- https://***.uukanshu.com/b/68245/91407.html After reading these two you will understand that YOU SHOULD NOT PUT THIS NOVEL ON YOUR LONG TERM READING LIST. Thank You.
