Soul Dao Ascends the Heavens

When folk archaeology expert Cao Long awakens in another world as a nameless nobody, he discovers an ancient power: the ability to devour souls and refine spirits. Armed with sword cultivation, ghost taming, and pill concoction, he carves a path toward immortality—balancing his thirst for eternal freedom with very mortal appetites for wealth and beauty. This is no tale of instant domination, but a slow-burn journey where a flawed hero walks the razor's edge between enlightenment and indulgence.
