The Shen family has some of the most powerful cultivators in the world, but their power is only matched by their humility. When their firstborn son, Tan Shen, begins his journey on the path of cultivation, a mystical practice passed down through generations in his family, the world itself begins to take notice. Gifted with a rare wind spirit named Zephyr, Tan embarks on a childhood filled with adventure, training, and the wonder of discovering his own powers. Living in the quiet countryside, Tan and his three closest friends—each bonded to a unique elemental spirit—spend their days honing their skills under the watchful eyes of their parents and mentors. But as they grow stronger, they also uncover the deeper mysteries of their heritage and the true nature of the powers they wield. In a world where every breath holds the promise of magic, The Shen Path: First Breaths invites readers to step into a tale of friendship, family, and the first steps toward destiny. Join Tan as he learns what it truly means to be a cultivator, where the challenges of growing up are matched only by the challenges of mastering one's own spirit.
