The Last Taoist II

Note: This book is also known as Tales of the Taoist Sect. It is a major New Year release in The Last Taoist series.

Pangu was given that glimmer of hope. The Great Dao has fifty paths, while Heaven’s evolution accounts for forty-nine, leaving one aside. The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. All things are born and die, living or dying, dying or living: all are part of fate.

The mortal world stretches for three thousand yards. Greed or murder, sorrow or joy, cause and effect entwine with one another, forming a kalpa. Kalpas follow kalpas, becoming an immeasurable kalpa. Beneath this endless calamity, the cultivators of China either withdraw from the world, accumulate merit, or seek another path. Their methods know no bounds!

Thus, the Heavenly Dao is merciless, regarding all living beings as ants. Yet the Heavenly Dao is also compassionate, leaving all beings that one glimmer of hope.

The Heavenly Dao is vast, the human way elusive, and the ghostly way joyous. Which is the true Dao?

The Last Taoist series tells the story of its protagonist, Zha Wenbin, the final hereditary leader of the Taoist sect who upholds the Heavenly Dao. Adapted from the biography of a real person, the series caused a sensation across the internet and was published in 2012. It has since been translated into Traditional Chinese, English, and Thai, and Zha Wenbin’s Taoist spirit has swept across Southeast Asia...
