A Mortal's Record of Seeking the Dao

The Great Dao has fifty paths, Heaven's evolution gives forty-nine, and one escapes.

Wang Fan is that one who escaped. Born in obscurity, he rose from the mortal world, with a mixed spiritual root and no hope of reaching the Immortal Path.

Yet Heaven leaves no one without a way forward. With an ordinary heart, he happened upon an extraordinary path.

He does not fight to be first for a moment, nor covet the power of empty splendor. He sees the truth in the smallest details and grasps the ultimate principles in the ordinary.

Alchemy, beast taming, talisman crafting, formations... Every kind of skill can lead to the Dao.

This is a path no one has walked before, a road to Heaven that belongs to mortals.

Watch as he proceeds one careful step at a time, using wisdom as his boat and perseverance as his oar, crossing tribulations and knocking on the gates of the divine, to write his own mortal legend in an era of immortal cultivation.
