Five years may be but the blink of an eye to Ling Chen, the Xuanhuan Emperor of the cultivation world, but for his family on Earth, they were years of longing and waiting. Once an ordinary university student on Blue Star, he transmigrated to the cultivation world by accident. After ten thousand years of slaughter, he became an unparalleled Immortal Emperor. But as he broke through to a higher realm, he disturbed an ancient star tomb of buried gods and received a warning: “Above the Immortal Emperor, there is yet another heaven.” Still longing for his beloved wife and family on Earth, he tore through space and time with his immense powers and set out for home.
When Ling Chen returned to Blue Star, he found that everything had changed in the five years he’d been gone. His parents had died in an accident while searching for him, and his younger sister, Ling Yutong, was being bullied by a group of developers forcing people from their homes. The “Heavenly Dao” he had once believed in was nothing more than a fading will given form. Faced with Blue Star’s fragile laws, he chose to seal his astonishing cultivation and return to the mortal world as a Qi Refining cultivator. But the moment he was reunited with his sister, he saw her being driven into a desperate situation by villains. The Immortal Emperor’s fury erupted in a thunderous display of power. He crushed the petty villains with ease, then subdued the Heavenly Dao with the origin of the Great Dao and made it his underling, vowing to rewrite the rules of this world.
When his sister told him through trembling lips that their parents were dead, Ling Chen defied the heavens. In the cemetery, he forcibly summoned the river of time, hoping to seize his parents’ timelines from the past and reunite the family. Meanwhile, the mysterious forces lurking behind Blue Star, the ancient mysteries left behind by the cultivation world, and the terrifying truth of what lies “above the Immortal Emperor” were all beginning to unfold with his return.
This is a thrilling urban fantasy about an Immortal Emperor’s return, full of exhilarating moments as he takes on the Heavenly Dao and tramples his enemies, as well as heartfelt redemption as he rekindles family bonds and makes up for past regrets. Watch as Ling Chen uses his unmatched power to defy fate.
