Legend of Ascension: The Shrouded Peaks
Ascend the realms of cultivation. Become a legend.
He Yu dreams of becoming a cultivator, but a weak body and spirit has always kept it out of reach. All that changes when a wandering immortal sees the spark of limitless potential lurking within him and recruits him to the prestigious Shrouded Peaks Sect.
As a new outer disciple, He Yu is thrust into a world of conflict and secrets, one that he’s entirely unprepared to navigate. But he’s got one advantage nobody else does—an ancient and dangerous cultivation art. One that will propel him to the heights of cultivation. If he can master it.
But ancient arts bear ancient burdens. Secrets once thought lost and forgotten begin to stir, threatening to draw He Yu into a conflict stretching back a thousand years. A conflict that, when it finally steps out from the shadows, will reshape both heaven and earth.
To master the Cloud Emperor’s Heavenly Palace is to master the power of heaven itself. Only a hero of legend is capable of such a feat, and He Yu will become that hero.
Reader Reviews
“This story is much more juicy than your run of the mill Xianxia. There is heroism instead of drudgery. There is the realisation of profound truths rather than navel gazing.”

This story delivers; it is well paced, has fleshed out characters that matters and that are not left in the dust by the MC within a 100 chapters and not mentioned again, and has steady and believable progression of the MC. The MC, while having a seemingly naive goal of being a righteous hero, has a surprising depth and self-awareness to him.
