The Trickster Stirs Up the Mystic Sect

On the outskirts of Kunlun Ruins, the old Taoist Xuanwei, master of Qingxu Temple, finds an abandoned baby in swaddling clothes deep in an ancient forest. Seeing the child's extraordinary bones and natural spiritual aura, he takes the baby back to the temple and accepts him as his last disciple, naming him Lin Tiansheng, meaning “born of heaven,” as if destined by the natural order of the Dao.

Lin Tiansheng lives up to his name. Born with the bones of a Daoist, he has profound insight and astonishing luck. Elixirs seem to grow legs and leap into his arms, he can stumble upon the entrances to ancient ruins while out for a walk, and he understands obscure Daoist scriptures after reading them just once. Yet this peerless gem has an incredibly lazy, carefree, and mischievous nature. Practice? If he can lie down, he won't sit; if he can slack off, he won't train! Lessons? If he can get away with doing them badly, he won't finish them; if he can skip class, he won't show his face!

As the sixth in the family, he is called “Little Six” by his senior brothers and sisters. Little Six becomes a figure who strikes fear into the hearts of cultivators at Qingxu Temple and throughout the entire cultivation world on the outskirts of Kunlun Ruins. Today he blows up the alchemy room, tomorrow he lets the precious beasts escape from the herb garden, the day after he scrawls on the Patriarch's statue, and the next day he drinks every last drop of the elders' treasured immortal wine... He always manages, in utterly unbelievable ways and for reasons that leave everyone both laughing and exasperated, to turn a fine immortal sanctuary upside down and into complete chaos.

Old Taoist Xuanwei is both furious and amused, while his senior brothers and sisters are at their wits' end, yet there's nothing they can do about him. Every time he causes a major disaster, his heaven-defying luck or a sudden display of astonishing talent somehow gets him out of trouble, and even brings unexpected benefits to the sect. But as Lin Tiansheng grows up, the secret hidden in his bloodline, the shocking karma behind his strange origins, and the immense crisis facing the entire cultivation world all begin to surface.
