The Yellow Court Ascension

When an ancient evil shattered the cultivation world a thousand years ago, survivors fled underground—immortal masters, scheming kingdoms, and ruthless clans locked in a brutal fight for dominance. Born a nameless miner in this suffocating realm, Yi Cheng refuses to accept his fate. From yamen runner to spy to heir of a shadow organization, he claws his way upward with nothing but mortal grit and unyielding will. In a world where corruption festers beneath false prosperity, one man will break every chain on his path to the heavens.
