legend

As a child: His bones crack easily — sect elders scorn him, call him “broken-bone bastard.” He bleeds when forging — but the blood feeds the flame. Beasts sniff him out — sensing an ancient “rot” that promises rebirth. Ancient arrays flicker awake when his leaking essence drips onto them. When he grows: Every breakthrough threatens to kill him — marrow cracks, blood boils, veins split open. But instead of dying, the flaw feeds on the shattered limit — his bloodline mutates to “patch” the crack, and each patch births a new trait. Cultivators fear him: the more they try to “purify” or “fix” him, the more powerful the flaw becomes.

Jiang Changsheng was reincarnated as the crown prince of the Jing Kingdom. However, he was switched at birth and was sent to grow up in a temple. He was raised as a Taoist. The change in his fate was devastating. Fortunately, he was able to awaken the Survival System and gained the power to not die from aging. Every time he survived a dangerous event, he could receive rewards. His senior brother almost killed him by accident. He was lucky enough to survive that and was rewarded with the Divine Shadow Kick. He almost got crushed when the ceiling fell on top of him during an earthquake. He was able to obtain the Nine Seeking Divine Dragon Step. After surviving the demon invasion, he was rewarded with the magic treasure, Demon Subduing Mace. This was a world where kingdoms stood tall, demons rampaged in the wild, martial arts ruled the street, and where Gods did not exist. 300 years had passed. The Jing Kingdom was starting to fall. The dukes came together and made the emperor their puppet. The kingdom was divided. After decades of internal conflicts, the kingdom was on the verge of being invaded. The citizens were pretty much living in hell. The puppet king, Jiang Xuanzhen, arrived at the temple and begged, “Ancestor, I apologize for being weak! Please! Help us regain our glory!”
