Eyes That Peer into the Heavenly Dao

Immortality is a lie. The path to the immortals is a prison.

At sixteen, Lu Xuan is found to have a useless spiritual root: "a muddle of the five elements, with only thirty percent affinity." He becomes a laughingstock to his clan.

His parents mysteriously vanished three years ago after exploring the forbidden land known as Blackwind Abyss, leaving him alone to watch over their little courtyard beside a dry well in the west of town.

Then one night, gray qi wells up from between his brows, and his eyes open to reveal all the myriad laws: the Dao Eye!

Spiritual qi wriggles before his eyes like maggots. His fellow disciples are wrapped in threads that manipulate their fate, while the supreme "Heavenly Dao" casts a cold, fishing gaze down from the clouds.

While the world is still fighting tooth and nail over false chances at immortality, Lu Xuan calmly raises his hand.

Since this world is incurably sick, and since cultivation is nothing but a carefully woven scam,

"Then let me take the pulse of the cosmos... by its hanging threads."
