Mortal Dao Stele

In a world ruled by immortal cultivators, Lin Qi is just another expendable mortal—taxed, conscripted, and destined to die forgotten. But when he discovers an ancient Dao Stele buried in forbidden ruins, everything changes. Carved with primordial runes that predate the sects themselves, this relic awakens something dangerous within him: the refusal to kneel. Now, armed with forbidden knowledge and an unyielding will, one ordinary man will carve his own path to power—even if it means defying heaven itself.
