Cultivating Immortality in the Mortal World

As the ancient saying goes, "A man is inferior to a lord, and a lord is inferior to an immortal." Throughout history, whether human, demon, ghost, god, or devil, all who understand heavenly principles, grasp the workings of the Dao, comprehend the truths of heaven and earth, and seek the source of all things have pursued one goal: to become an immortal. Immortals can transcend the Three Realms and stand beyond the Five Elements. They can defy fate, change their destiny, command the Five Elements, and escape the cycle of reincarnation. Since Pangu opened the heavens, Hongjun taught the world, and the Sages emerged, the path to immortality has stretched on without end, pursued by countless people. Yet the road to immortality is beset with thorns, and the bones of those who died pursuing it lie in heaps, their resentment soaring to the skies. For tens of millions of years, people have followed one another in this pursuit, but only a handful have ever reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Lu Zhengxuan was the young master of the Lu family in a village beneath Cangmang Mountain. He never expected that his parents would draw him into a bloody conflict over the path to immortality. Our story begins in that village beneath Cangmang Mountain.
