Red Wall, Evil Locks 2: Miaojiang’s Ruins, Reforging the Underworld

A rift buried by the passage of time connects the present world to a realm of darkness, silent and undisturbed for ages. In the midst of despair, a new Great Dao is quietly born. It belongs neither to the Heavenly Dao nor to the netherworld, but solely to all living beings. A group of people who enter a secret realm are forced to inherit the gift of this newly emerged Great Dao. They cannot wield its power at will. It can only take the form of an inner barrier, protecting their hearts and keeping out invading baleful energy and beguiling illusions. Maze after maze, danger around every corner, but killing is not the whole journey. Deep in the darkness, one person survives against all odds and undergoes a transformation in cultivation, yet remains trapped in the forbidden heart of the realm, unable to descend into the world. The thoughts of the old gods drift through the void, silently searching for a trace of the newly born Great Dao. An unseen contest is still unfolding. There is no earth-shaking battle, only concealment, patience, and a long wait. When will the Great Dao break free of its chains and truly walk among heaven and earth?
