Rooted Immortal: My Tree Binds Me to Eternal Life

Reborn thirty years before his death, Ding An uncovers a chilling truth—he's a puppet in an ancient sect's conspiracy spanning centuries. But fate deals him a double-edged sword: bound to the legendary Longevity Tree from the celestial realms, he gains endless life at the cost of his freedom. Chained within a small radius, unable to roam the cultivation world, Ding An must grow his power through cunning, allies, and the mystical tree itself. With a devoted widow and a ragtag crew of followers, can this rooted immortal topple empires without ever leaving his grove?
