Relying on his resourcefulness, he continuously strives to break through and passionately pursues the path of cultivation.
Han Li, a poor boy from a mountain village, accidentally steps onto the path of cultivation. As he gradually moves toward success, he steadfastly holds onto the heart of a mortal, relying on self-reliance and perseverance. Despite facing constant exclusion and being framed due to his humble origins and mediocre talent, Han Li never once gets the thought of giving up. Instead, with perseverance and wisdom, he keeps refining himself. In the end, Han Li defeats the demonic path, breaks through the blockade, and successfully passes through the teleportation array to a new continent, embarking on a new journey and adventure.
