The Sixteen Provinces of Tianyun are said to hold an immortal mountain called Mount Ling. Though everyone believes it to be a mere legend, they still regard it with a measure of reverence.
Churan is an ordinary town at the foot of Mount Ling. Living beside cultivators, its residents yearn for the mountain and wonder what their lives are like: are they a band of otherworldly immortals who need no worldly sustenance, or demons wielding incredible powers?
There is a saying in the cultivation world: a spiritual lantern burns in every living being’s heart, representing the mortal spirit’s yearning for immortality. A cultivator’s ultimate goal is to ascend and become a true immortal. The five-element spiritual lanterns, the Earth Spirit Lantern, and the Heaven Spirit Lantern are symbols of true immortals who have attained the Dao, and of mortals resisting the world and an unjust fate.
