About this listen

He never intended to be a cultivator. The heavens have another plan…

Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach.

However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple. Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights. These old monsters will teach Sen everything they can, from the art of the jian and spear to the mysteries of arcane alchemy.

Yet, on the path to defying the heavens, Sen will have to make difficult choices. He needs to decide what kind of person he wants to be, and what mark he wants to leave on the world. Because when his training ends, he will have the power to shake the world. He will also have formidable enemies who will do anything to put him back in his place…

For those who like a bit of slice-of-life with their coming-of-age cultivation tales, this is a can’t-miss listen. Over 3,000,000 views on Royal Road. Click 'Buy Now' to start the journey.

Pleasant Surprise

Solid book to start a series. Main character isn’t whiny or magically overpowered. Just a victim of a fortunate circumstance.

Likable Rags to Riches MC

Good book if you’re new to cultivation or experienced with it. The storyline is steady and builds using a very different frame of reference for each character. Not a lot of action but enough to force the MC to sharply define who he really is. A very entertaining book and I’ve just purchased volume two.

Book is very well written but the narrator drives me nuts.

I really enjoyed the story and MC but the narrator sounds like he’s an AI who just learned how to talk. So many awkward pauses and strange emphasis on unnecessary words is super frustrating. A good narrator should make you forget they exist but this guy isn’t it.

Soil is story with minor issues

Better than most books out there, few minor problems that could be fixed. Overall pace of the book is too slow it this should be fixed in the next series. Characters are well rounded but fall a bit flat. Works building is good not great.

Rags to Rumor

Great intro to a new series about a street rat that is picked up by a wandering cultivator and trained up. Lots of character development without being just a training montage or a MC that is some sort of unknown genius.

Adam Verner turned in another great narration performance with great recognizable character voices, inflection and flow.

Character, story, cultivation, the works

I have been on a losing streak lately of bad books. I picked this one up and I am astounded. This has all that I want. training, rags to riches, tough but realistic fights. The MC is not OP, but he isn't weak either. he struggles when it is needed and he is overpowers when it makes sense. I cannot wait for the second book. keep it up, keep his path like this and you'll have a long term invested reader.

Great Start

Great start to a new series. A very naive homeless kid slowly turns into a Cultivator without knowing the world around him because he is innocent to the outside world.

I would recommend folks try to listen to this at 1.2 speed.

A excellent book!

I have always been a big fan of cultivation novels unfortunately, there are many badly written ones and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the bad from the good. So when I find an excellent one like this one, I find myself greatly anticipating the next book in the series. This story was well written and captured the heart of a true cultivation story. I find myself highly recommending this story to other fans of cultivation novels.
