As the saying goes, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows nature. Everything in the world is determined by nature and acts according to nature. Some follow the Dao and accept Heaven’s mandate to ascend to immortality; others defy the Dao and defy Heaven’s mandate to become demons. But in the end, they all turn to dust. Only tomb raiders and their treasures last forever.
The Lin family is an ancient clan of the mountains and forests, inheriting the arts of immortals and demons for generations. One day, the clan elders inexplicably drove all the younger generation out of the mountains. When Lin Daoxun returned, three years had passed, and all that remained of his home was a massive stone stele.
(The beginning is a little slow, but it gets more interesting as the story goes on. Two chapters a day, 2,000 characters per chapter.)
