The Star-Picker of Taihao

In the Age of Declining Dharma, Confucians make their words law and ask what lies in the vastness of their hearts; Daoists speak with the authority of Heaven and ask what shines above their heads; Buddhists fall silent and enter meditation, asking what the mysterious candle within themselves might be.

Some among the demon race spend their entire lives seeking the favor of Hong Ming.

The Great Dao is formless, and all the more merciless. It hears questions, but gives no answer.

The young Meng Wuji has no spiritual bones, and his meridians are sealed throughout his body. Yet from Dongdu Shenzhou, he looks up and longs to ascend to the heavens and pluck the stars.
