To defy the Heavens, he must earn his masters in magic. For Liu Feng, death isn't the end. Now, he's stuck in a new world with magic that clearly doesn't obey the laws of physics, surrounded by arrogant young masters who seek to advance their power by any means necessary. Good thing Liu Feng has always been smart. He can absorb texts and master techniques to advance his knowledge faster than others, uncovering the secrets of magic at a fundamental level. Plus he can bring a level of compassion and empathy only a human would understand, to see things from new angles.

Winter has arrived, bringing inevitable disaster to the Blazing Sun Sect. Monstrous beasts hungry for human flesh storm the territories. Liu Feng, with merely average talent (53 Spiritual Root branches), finds himself thrust into a bloody war, forcing him to ally with the maniacal and ruthlessly effective genius, Song Song.Driven by survival instinct alone, Liu Feng must navigate the politics of the inner sect and ascend rapidly just to stay alive.

He just wanted to read in peace. The heavens had other plans. The spring thaw has come to Blazing Sun Mountain, but for Liu Feng, the change of season brings more than just blossoms. The Four Great Sects are gathering for a grand tournament, and the air is thick with more than just pollen—it's heavy with killing intent, sect rivalries, and the arrival of a fiancée he’s never met. While his partner-in-chaos, Song Song, is busy shattering the arrogance of young masters in the arena, Liu Feng is focused on the real prize: the Song Clan’s restricted library.

So much happened in the Blazing Sun Sect that Liu Feng decides to take a trip back home. A simple journey, he thought. Travel a little, visit family, maybe explore a ruin or two along the way. Naturally, things didn't go according to plan. The road was filled with strange encounters, forgotten inheritances, and new friends. Yet somehow, none of that prepared him for returning to the Liu Clan. Every family has its problems. Liu Feng's just happens to be a cultivation clan. Grandpa is still Grandpa. His relatives are still friendly as always with one another.
