Can't Read, Can't Cultivate? Think Again!

Lin Ye, an orphan raised deep in the mountains, has his eyes tempered by a thousand-year-old spirit tree—costing him the ability to read, but awakening a innate Dao Eye. Runes and formations that others must study scriptures for years to comprehend, he can see through to their very source at a single glance. When he arrives at the Qingyun Sect for its entrance trials, he is mocked relentlessly by fellow disciples for being illiterate, and outer-sect disciple Zhang Hao repeatedly torments him, convinced that no one without a foundation in letters can ever cultivate. Only Su Wan senses his extraordinary gift. Breaking free from the sect's rigid path of practice, Lin Ye uses his Dao Eye to shatter formations and grasp the essence of techniques, growing stronger through every trial and clash—shattering the world's prejudices with sheer power and carving out a defiant, one-of-a-kind road to immortality.
