Mortal Cultivation: Rise of the River Orphan

Abandoned as a child by the river's edge, Zhan Nianchuan possesses neither prestigious lineage nor exceptional talent—only a burning thirst for vengeance and a mind sharp enough to cut through deception. In a ruthless cultivation world where power decides everything, he must outwit schemers, forge unlikely alliances, and carve his path with blood and cunning. Decades later, he stands at the apex, commanding both human and demon races to conquer the heavens and countless realms. His enemies are dust; his loyal companions remain. This is the saga of a mortal who refused to bow.
