The Boundless Dao

The story revolves around the “mystery of immortality,” blending Eastern mysticism, clashes between multidimensional civilizations, and struggles of human nature. Its prose aspires to classical poetic beauty and philosophical depth, drawing on imagery from works such as the Zhuangzi and the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Theme: Immortality is not the end, but a question about the very nature of existence.

Main story: The lowly youth Lu Wuyai bears the “Mysterious Yellow Bone.” To break the curse on his bloodline, he embarks on a path to prove the Dao, crossing the Nine Realms and devouring myriad arts. In the end, he discovers that immortality is in truth a shackle of the Heavenly Dao’s cycle of reincarnation, and breaks through by “severing the Dao.”

Before the towering ancestral hall of the Lu clan, a family of immortal cultivators, the youth Lu Wuyai stands with his finger bones crushed. On the three hundred bloodstained stone steps, he catches a glimpse of the Heavenly Dao. As the gilded plaque runs red with the dark glow of sunset, he laughs coldly through bloodied lips: “Today you treat me like dirt. One day, I will burn this hypocritical sect to the ground!”
