Curse Cultivation

You are an outsider in this realm, yet you dare to seek the forbidden path of cultivation. The Heavens themselves have marked you, weaving an eternal curse no immortal can shatter. Every attempt to progress will unravel—your efforts reversed, your potential locked away. No matter how hard you train, your body rejects the flow of power. Jiang Chen soon discovers the cruel truth: his gathered spiritual energy twists backward, dissipating into the void before it can take root. The more he struggles, the tighter the curse binds him, leaving him powerless in a world where strength means everything. His dreams of ascension crumble as the curse enforces its merciless decree. Even the mightiest techniques fail him, their energy scattering like dust in the wind. The heavens mock his defiance, ensuring his path remains forever barred. No elixir, no secret art, no mentor can break this fate. Jiang Chen is left with only despair, a cultivator in name but never in truth. The curse does not bend—it breaks all who challenge its will.
