The Path of Seeking the Dao Across the Heavens

The sharpest sword in this world is not a magical treasure of the immortals, but the splendid prose written by a poor scholar.

Financial whiz Chen Mo dies in a plane crash and is reborn as an impoverished scholar in another world. His family has nothing, his mother coughs up blood as she labors, and his clan relatives eye him hungrily. His only support is a mysterious bronze mirror covered in cracks.

The Mirror of All Heavens can observe fortune and decipher the classics, but it must be fed "sparks of civilization."

To repair the mirror and change his fate, Chen Mo embarks on the imperial examination path:

At the Tongsheng exam, his words crack like thunder, restoring a lost chapter of the Analects.

In a demon-slaying case, a single stroke shocks a sage, and his literary talent becomes a sword that destroys a nine-tailed fox spirit.

At a banquet in the prefectural capital, he solves a mathematical puzzle and uncovers the blood-sacrifice conspiracy behind the increased yield of spirit rice.

When he finally earns a place on the imperial honors list, the mirror reveals a shocking prophecy:

The literary path in this world has been severed. The sages' deaths were no natural disaster, but a man-made calamity!

Factional struggles at court intertwine with the secrets of cultivation, while ancient ruins coexist with worlds across the heavens.

See how a poor scholar wields the classics as his blade and the people's hearts as his flame:
