When the rogue cultivator Jia Bo finds his strength stagnating at the peak of the Body Refinement realm, he realizes that he has two choices; continue to live out the rest of his days as a Body Refinement realm expert, or attempt to break through into the legendary Mist realm. He madly flipped through the hundreds of stolen cultivation techniques strewn about his abode. Once again, he picked up a scroll before shaking his head harshly. These were all trash! .... If each of these hundreds of cultivation techniques wouldn't work, he'd just have to make his own from scratch. Who cares if it took the rest of his life? ... At last, Jia Bo neared the end of his lifespan. He stood at the lakeshore before his cave abode, and even as he gazed upon the setting sun's reflection, inspiration struck. Driven by his newfound insight, Jia Bo made his way back inside and poured over a new creation. Less than a month later, he clutched the thin tome that now recorded his masterpiece - a peerless cultivation technique. Something that even the top sects and clans wouldn't be able to rival. It was finally time to become a Mist realm expert! ------------------------------------------------- Book cover art from the wallpaperaccess site.
