An Ordinary Man Lights a Lamp, Illuminating Three Thousand Shadow Caves

At the Northern Wasteland's mass burial ground, the boy Chen Jiu is a gravekeeper, born in a land of death. His fate bears no lamp, and he is destined to live no longer than a hundred years.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is mixed with deathly aura, making it easy for cultivators to suffer cultivation deviation. Only "Lamplighters" can purify the unclean with the fire in their hearts.

Born with strange eyes, he can see the faint remnants of all living beings' soul lamps: when a lamp goes out, its owner dies; when it flickers, danger is near.

An old Daoist uses his blood to keep a lamp burning, accidentally awakening the Art of Lamp-Watching. But ghostly beings begin watching him, and he barely escapes with his life.

His cultivation is hard to advance, and his lifespan is nearly spent. Only by seizing lamps, controlling lamps, and setting lamps ablaze can he defy fate and change his destiny.

Leaving the mass burial ground, he walks a blood-soaked path, lighting one lamp at a time and illuminating the darkness of the cultivation world.

He keeps a low profile and hides his strength, watching the world with cold eyes. He can tell at a glance who is about to die.
