Shaolin Temple's Heavenly Book: The Young Master Is Hunted

At the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, metaphysics flourished and sects sprang up everywhere. The Central Plains and the lands beyond its borders were ravaged by endless wars, leaving the people destitute and the roads strewn with the dead.

Shaolin's senior monk Liao Kong traveled far and wide. Seeing a world so devastated it seemed like hell, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism and the Way, cultivating martial arts within and mystical techniques without, hoping to save all living beings. Yet the world never recognized his efforts. Amid the endless struggle to save people, he lived in poverty and met an untimely death. Before he died, he infused his wisdom, martial arts, and magical powers into his bones and a book titled Essentials of Magic, then entrusted them to his disciple, Master Daohui, to return to Shaolin Temple.

It was a strange book: anyone who read it gained what they desired, along with immense power and supreme martial arts.

Many fought over the peerless book and Liao Kong's remains, staining the martial world with blood in their struggle to claim it.

In this brutal, life-or-death contest, a spoiled young master became the target of a manhunt. The martial world turned into a chaotic graveyard of slaughter, rivalry, seduction, and terror, a meat grinder in an age of upheaval.
