Cheng Yun spent five years as the most good-for-nothing outer disciple of the Xuantian Sect. Then, while sweeping, he found an ancient bronze ring.
The remnant soul inside called itself the Daoist Venerable Taixu. It passed down an ancient secret tome and revealed a shocking conspiracy: the path to immortality had been severed three thousand years ago because someone in the Immortal Realm wanted to refine this world into a cauldron!
From then on, the good-for-nothing youth wielded the Divine Seal of the Four Symbols in his left hand and commanded the Taixu Mirror in his right:
At the Scripture Pavilion, he defeated an elder's own nephew with a single sword strike, shocking the sect.
In the Tianwu Secret Realm, he killed a hidden agent of the Blood God Sect and seized the Vermilion Bird Spirit Seal.
At the Eye of the Guixu Sea, he awakened the Xuanwu Sacred Body and drew the cross-realm pursuit of the World Devourers.
When the path to immortality reopened, he learned that his senior sister, Su Qingyu, was the core of the seal. To save all living beings, he would have to sacrifice the one he loved most...
When Cheng Yun shattered the thirty-six heavens and pointed his sword at the World Devourers' High Priest, the immortals finally understood:
This was no mere ant from the lower realm. He was none other than the Daoist Venerable Taixu, before whom even the Heavenly Dao had to bow!
Highlights:
Classic rise-from-nothing cultivation: from an ant in the Qi Refining stage to slaying an Immortal Emperor with his sword, packed with excitement and no torment for the protagonist.
A vast world: the Four Symbols Seal, the Jianmu legend, and the World Devourers gradually reveal the truth behind the severed path to immortality.
A love that defies life and death: the heroine, bearer of the Xuantian Sacred Body, sacrifices herself to mend the heavens, while the hero shatters the thirty-six heavens for love.
⚔️ Classic xianxia flavor: talismans, formations, and ancient secret realms bring the charm of traditional cultivation to life.
“When I blast open the gates to the Immortal Realm with the Four Symbols Seal, those World Devourers who fancy themselves the Heavenly Dao will never imagine that the Xuantian Sacred Body they drove to her death is my, Cheng Yun's, beloved Dao companion!”
If you ask which of the recent fairy tale novels can best explain the catastrophe of fairy fate and love that "you don't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper", this book "Taixu Dao Zun" should be the first to recommend it. The author uses delicate brushstrokes to outline a magnificent picture of the immortal world, and uses the life and death of the Taoist couple Cheng Yun and Su Qingyu to describe the most touching emotions on the road to immortality. The protagonist Cheng Yun in the book has Taixu bloodline but doesn't know it. Su Qingyu, as the successor of Xuantian Holy Body, cannot escape the shackles of fate. From the two apprentices of the Xuanyang Sect in the lower realm, to the journey to the immortal world to fight against the Angel Patrollers; from the surprise of their first meeting in the Qingming Palace, to the life and death trust in the final battle in the Taixu Palace, in the twenty-four chapters, every plot has hidden foreshadowing, and every twist and turn is full of ingenuity. What is particularly rare is that the author perfectly combines the charm of classical chapter writing with the rhythm of modern online writing. The traditional form of the book that opens with "Poetry" and ends with "Listen to the next chapter for analysis" is coupled with innovative settings such as "Chaos Dao Sword" and "Four Symbol Seals", which shows both the legacy of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" and the new ideas of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality". The process of searching for the seven origin fragments coincides with the mystery of the Big Dipper; the test of seven reincarnations hides the Buddhist Zen meaning of seven emotions and six desires. When Cheng Yun retrieves the fragments of his first encounter with Su Qingyu in the memory maze, when Su Qingyu sticks to his true heart in the tribulation of the mortal world, when the meteorite whale weeps and recognizes his master, and when the original ancestor shows his true appearance - these scenes in the author's writing not only have an ethereal artistic conception, but also are flesh-and-blood reality. In the end, the life and death decision in the Taixu Palace sublimated the spirit of the Xianxia to the realm of "making a life for the common people". The most moving thing about this work is that it transcends the black and white confrontation between good and evil. The setting that the Lord of Xuntian was once a descendant of Taixu expresses the profound proposition that "the dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon"; and the protagonist's choice to share the power of the seven sources demonstrates the Eastern wisdom of "harmony in diversity". The criticism of the class in the immortal world and the reflection on the nature of cultivating immortals in the book make this work have a pattern that goes beyond the ordinary cool novels. "Taixu Dao Zun" is like a pot of aged fairy wine. When you first taste it, you feel the sword energy rising to the sky, which is fascinating. After you taste it carefully, you will realize the difficulty of the emotional calamity and the real taste. If you yearn for the freedom of "riding a sword and riding the wind to slay demons in the world" and the deep love of "a broad understanding of life and death, talking to Zicheng", this work will definitely not disappoint you. After turning the last page, the scene of the seven-colored lotus light intertwined with the Chaos Dao Sword will remain in your mind for a long time.
