The Six Realms are unbalanced, and chaos threatens to engulf all. Can a wisp of dying flame burn away eternal calamity?
Ouyang Miao, a boy from a peaceful mountain village, carries within him a forbidden power unknown even to himself. When the Breath of Chaos tears the sky apart, spiritual energy runs amok, and demons roam unchecked, he is forced into a catastrophe sweeping across the Six Realms. The wheels of fate turn, pushing him to the heart of the storm: to find the fragments of the ancient Four Symbols Heavenly Divination Disk, said to be capable of stabilizing heaven and earth.
Tan Wenna, a prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, is a blend of icy reserve and burning passion. Burdened with the duty of protecting others, she finds her Daoist heart shaken by him. The mischievous celestial fox girl Yue Li can foresee good and ill fortune, and sees him as the variable that will determine her people's survival. Alongside them are the straightforward body cultivator Shi Gang, Ye Qingyi, a master of both medicine and poison, the calculating Mo Xiaoqi, and others. A group of youths with nothing in common set off together, bound by destiny and conviction.
They cross the treacherous demon lands of the Southern Border's hundred thousand mountains and traverse the beacon fires and wolf smoke of the Northern Frontier's frozen wastes. They face the Netherworld Cult Master's ambition to destroy the world, and uncover the astonishing scheme of the Heavenly Secrets Elder behind the scenes: to obscure the secrets of heaven and restart the age. Friendship is tempered in blood and fire, love blossoms between life and death, and the shadows of betrayal and sacrifice follow them like their own shadows.
When a dear friend's indestructible body crashes to the ground, when the blood of the one he loves stains the frozen wastes, when a trusted companion draws a blade from the shadows... Ouyang Miao stands at the world's end, in Guixu. The surging power within him is both the key to saving the world and the fuse that could destroy it.
With all Four Symbols assembled, the Heavenly Dao teeters on the brink.
Will he become an eternal seal and be buried in Guixu?
Or burn away his remaining soul, gambling on a faint glimmer of hope to overturn fate?
He grips the ancient Guixu sword and gazes at the shattered world.
