In the Savage Realm, spiritual roots decide everything: those who have them can walk the immortal path and command life and death, while those without them remain like ants no matter how long they struggle. Han Fan is one of the latter—rootless, without background, the lowest servant of Liuli Sword Sect, bullied and humiliated, for whom even a full meal is a luxury. He expects to scrape by in the mud for the rest of his life, until one trip up the mountain to cut bamboo brings an unexpected find: a rust-covered broken sword named Fuxian.
