Synopsis

One day, a golden pagoda blazing with light suddenly descended from the distant depths of the universe. It plunged deep into the earth, drawing countless seekers to investigate, yet none of them found anything. A hundred years passed, and then the pagoda suddenly sent out a mysterious message, calling itself the Redgold Immortal Pagoda and declaring that it sought a destined heir. At once, powers from every corner flocked to it. From then on, the Redgold Immortal Pagoda opened its trials every hundred years. Countless races and sects took part. Many passed the first test, allowing the powerful among their ranks to be crowned kings. But the second and third tests were so difficult that no one could overcome them. The groups content with having produced a crowned king gradually withdrew, since those who had already been crowned could no longer compete for the inheritance.

Meanwhile, the protagonist, Jiang Yu, unexpectedly lost his true body and was reborn with only a wisp of his remnant soul. Much of his memory vanished with it, and he had to begin cultivating all over again.

Across this vast world, all living beings are nothing more than
