In a bustling corner of the human world, a snow-white beast named Ling Tong, bewildered by the path of cultivation, encounters an old man with white hair and a youthful face. Thus begins its journey to cultivate both mind and body. Taken in by a Taoist temple, it endures the solitude of training in the mountains, the peril of exploring secret caves, and the complexities of life in the city. From a lonely young beast that witnessed its parents’ deaths, it grows into a spirit beast capable of communicating with all spirits and seeing into people’s hearts.
It once stood alongside Taoists to drive out evil spirits, fight poachers, and battle the Netherworld Sect. Through trials of life and death, it comes to understand the truth: “Cultivation is not just seclusion and hard training; it also means experiencing the world.” From its naïve first steps into the human world to breaking through its limits and becoming the lord of all spirits, Ling Tong’s story is a legend of growth, responsibility, and protection. It tells of a beast’s perseverance and compassion along the path of cultivation, and its bonds with all things in the world.
