Mortal Ascension: From Ripening Spirit Herbs to Immortal Sovereign

A nobody from a forgotten mountain village. A mysterious heirloom gourd that accelerates herb growth. Ye Zhou's spiritual awakening launches him into a ruthless cultivation world where every ally hides a blade and every treasure comes with a price. Armed with nothing but cunning, patience, and an ancient artifact, he'll spend millions of years navigating betrayals, tribulations, and the unforgiving hierarchy of immortals. This is no overnight power fantasy—it's the gritty, methodical climb of a mortal who refuses to bow, even to the heavens themselves.
