[S5] Who Let This Illiterate Cultivate?

Battered by the backlash of the Ancient Emperor's Life-Extinguishing Light, Chen Ji has only one month left to live. To find the Ancient Sacred Spring and save his life, the group ventures boldly into the perilous Ancient Realm. Along the way, prodigies hunt them relentlessly and old fates cling to them: Wangshu cannot let go of a three-thousand-year obsession, while Lin Langtian faces the destiny of his past life and struggles to choose between loyalty and the Great Dao. The group fights a bloody path through the Great Rift of Lingxu, battling prodigies and ancient forbidden guards to the death, enduring trials, farewells, and standing by one another. Chen Ji risks his life to break the deadlock, awakening four Nascent Souls through tribulation and withstanding a double heavenly tribulation, which leaves his companions' souls gravely wounded. To save their lives, Chen Ji and Lin Langtian forge an Ancient Guardian pact, setting aside past grudges and carrying their youthful passion into the unknown road ahead in Zhongzhou.
