Veil of Withering Heavens

For ten thousand years, the heavens have remained silent. The great sects whisper that the Path of Ascension has withered, and no mortal has reached immortality in an age. Yet in the quiet valley of Greystone, a youth stumbles upon a strange ledger that bleeds ink like living veins—a relic that records cultivation techniques long erased from history. That youth is Ren Ardyn, an orphan mocked for his weak meridians and doomed to remain in the lowest mortal stage. But when the ledger binds itself to his soul, he discovers a cultivation path unlike any other—one that blends shadow, memory, and forgotten mysteries. Drawn into ancient conspiracies, Ren must unravel secrets of the ledger while avoiding the gaze of sects that would kill for its knowledge. Along the way, he will meet Lan Mei, a wandering healer with ties to forbidden bloodlines, and face enemies cloaked in halos of righteousness yet reeking of corruption. But the greatest mystery remains: if the heavens are truly withered, why do the stars tremble when Ren cultivates?
