Shanshui Sutra: I Open a Fairy Gate at the Bottom of the Sea

About This Novel
On the coast of the East China Sea, mortals live by the sea and are trapped by it. Every ten years, a Dharma boat will be lowered from Penglai Island overseas to measure the "mountain roots" for children in coastal villages. Those with mountain roots can go to the island to practice cultivation and are called immortals. Those without mountain roots will be thrown into the sea and become sacrifices to suppress sea disasters. Shen Chaosheng, a boy from Qingli Village, was fifteen years old when he saw his younger sister Shen Yue being taken away by Penglai Fairy Island on the night of the sea festival. However, he was sentenced to being unable to practice spiritual practice because he had "no mountain roots". Everyone thought he was dead, but he woke up deep under the sea and saw an upside-down black mountain and an ancient fairy city that had sunk for thousands of years. There, he got a page of a fragmented ancient scripture - "Landscape Sutra". The scriptures say: Those who have no mountain roots can raise mountains from water. From then on, Shen Chaosheng no longer asked for mercy from the fairy island. He listened to the tide and entered the Taoism, built reefs on the seabed, abandoned cities to build mansions, nourished mountain roots with water veins, used Guixu as the mountain gate, took in blind girls, rescued sharks, broke into Shenlong Gorge, entered Jinggufang City, and reopened the long-lost landscape Taoism. Penglai said that those without mountain roots cannot cultivate. He then set up a monument on the bottom of the sea: Anyone without mountain roots in the world can enter my Shanshui Gate. This is the story of a mortal boy who started as a sacrifice, established a religion in the ruins of the sea, broke the monopoly of overseas fairy islands, and brought the abandoned people to seek immortality together. The mountains are in the sea, and the immortals emerge from the mortal world. The real path to immortality is not in Penglai, but deep in Guixu.
