A Record Of Mortal Cultivation

"A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is a xianxia novel written by Wang Yu. The story narrates the journey of an ordinary poor boy from a mountain village who, by chance, enters a small sect in the martial world and becomes a registered disciple. Although his aptitude is mediocre, he relies on his own efforts and careful calculations to cultivate and achieve immortality

A common village boy accidentally enters a local small sect in the martial world and becomes a named disciple. With this identity, how will he establish himself within the sect, and how will he, with his mediocre talent, join the ranks of cultivators, ultimately standing proudly among the three realms

Cultivators are classified into three major stages based on their realms: the lower realm, the middle realm, and the upper realm. The lower realm, as described in the text, includes five levels: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation. For those with the potential for immortality, these levels are relatively easy to achieve. The middle realm consists of three levels: Void Refinement, Integration, and Great Ascension. This realm is often characterized by many extraordinary events and is one of the most story-rich realms. The male and female protagonists typically encounter numerous setbacks and supernatural occurrences, and through their continuous cultivation, they evolve from mutual repulsion to a deep mutual appreciation. In the upper realm, there is essentially only the tribulation stage left; cultivators generally succeed in their cultivation, ascending to the immortal realm and sharing longevity with heaven and earth.

The process of cultivating immortality is extremely arduous, requiring not only the overcoming of various personal shortcomings but also the acceptance of trials from enemies and the natural world. Only after enduring numerous hardships can one attain enlightenment. Those who reach the highest level can truly be regarded as "dragons among men." Cultivators must possess "spiritual roots"; without them, the path to immortality will become indefinitely distant. The "spiritual roots" are categorized into the five elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only those with complete spiritual roots have the potential to cultivate and achieve immortality.
