In this continent shrouded in lies, the Immortal Cultivation Sect uses "ascension" as bait to feed all living beings. The so-called spiritual roots are just demonic vines that parasitize flesh and blood; the so-called immortal fate is actually a contract to sacrifice one's loved ones.
Behind the sect's selection lies the cruel truth of "monster feeding". Chen Qinghe's eldest brother was selected three years ago, but became the blood vine's nourishment.
What sleeps in Chen Qinghe's body is not the spiritual root, but the demon species that was sealed three hundred years ago. He coexists with the demon fetus and is both prey and hunter.
Underground sleep the souls of monks who were sacrificed throughout the ages, and their resentments are turned into bronze figurines, waiting for the return of the real "owner".
When Chen Qinghe shredded his lies, he faced not only the pursuit of his sect, but also the collapse of the entire cultivation system - should he become a new "demon lord" or reshape the way of heaven?
