Salvager of the forgotten dao

For four thousand years, the Cassiopeian Hegemony has taught that cultivation is a myth, debunked during the Ascension Wars and preserved only as folklore in the heritage worlds. The textbooks are wrong. The Inquisition of Pattern knows they're wrong. That's why they hunt "spiritual heretics" with AI scanners that read qi as malware. Cultivation doesn't break the laws of physics. It exploits them. Every cultivator is a walking zero-day on the same exotic-matter substrate the empire's starships run on. Every cultivator is a kill order waiting to be signed. Shen Yi doesn't know any of this. He's twenty-three. Chinese. Debt-bonded to a salvage corporation on the wreckage rim. His mother taught him to gut fish and keep his mouth shut, and that has been the limit of his ambitions. Then, in the sealed vault of a thousand-year-old derelict, he opens the wrong coffin. The ancient cultivator inside opens his eyes for one breath, says a single sentence in classical Mandarin, and dies. Something Shen Yi has no word for slides into his spine. His neural lace flags it as malware. The Inquisition is already coming. So is the woman who has been ordered to decide whether to save him or kill him.
