Journey Beyond Boundaries

A modern young man who unexpectedly inherits the legacy of the Egret God is drawn into a conspiracy spanning a thousand years. Along with Ying Wu, a mysterious master of the Sorcerers’ Grotto, and Ye, a young warrior of the Wuyin Tribe, he uncovers one thrilling secret after another, from the Tall Tower of Jingluo City to the royal tomb beneath Taiqiu Kingdom. Shuiyu, a Pixiu phantom beast that can shapeshift into a merchant, is hunted by a mysterious power after devouring a mortal’s skin a century ago. Commissioned by Shuiyu, Ying Wu and Li Bailang travel to Taiqiu Kingdom to investigate the truth, only to discover a shocking plot to revive the remnant soul of Jiuying. This ancient vicious beast’s soul fragment is being nourished by the blood and vital essence of Taiqiu’s nobles by the kingdom’s preceptor, who plans to use the Pixiu’s skin as a vessel for its rebirth. During fierce battles at the relay station and in the underground tomb, Li Bailang draws on his unusual understanding of the sixty-four hexagrams and binary logic to push basic techniques to their limits. Together with Ying Wu, he foils Jiuying’s scheme. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. The clue to Kunlun Ruins left behind before the Pixiu fled, the mysterious resonance between a bronze fragment and the Egret God’s jade statue, and the bronze divine tree discovered by the Chiya Tribe in the Abu Forest all signal that danger is closing in. The ambitions of the Yuelang Clan, a traitor within the Sorcerers’ Grotto, and the truth behind the Egret God’s legacy draw the three into an even deeper mystery. This is a story of growth, betrayal, and redemption. Li Bailang transforms from a naive young man into a genius of mystical arts, Ying Wu’s past gradually comes to light, and Ye’s loyalty and wisdom shine at critical moments. They face not only powerful enemies, but also the fear and desire buried deep within themselves. As Jiuying’s shadow spreads across the land and the secrets of Kunlun Ruins are about to be revealed, can the three turn the tide and protect this world?
