About Trials of the Innermost
In a world where cultivation advances through a combination of external power and internal trials — confronting genuine truths about oneself — most cultivators reach a level and stop, unable to face what the next trial reveals. The protagonist faces both kinds of trial and discovers that his self-knowledge may be his greatest weapon. One of Royal Road's most philosophically interesting cultivation series.
