Li Ze, a village boy who lost his father young, lives with his mother. Then a sudden disaster takes everything from him. His mother sacrifices herself to protect him, leaving behind a mysterious Spirit-Gathering Bottle before she dies and setting him on the path of cultivation. Li Ze wanders and trains under a mysterious old beggar, but a foreign object has taken root in his dantian, preventing him from gathering spiritual power and making his path to cultivation full of obstacles.
A twist of fate leads him to join the Xuanxiu Sect, where he meets Zhang Muyu, a quirky junior sister, and gets caught up in sect disputes and hidden conspiracies. As his strength grows, Li Ze gradually uncovers the truth about his mother’s death, only to discover that it is tied to an even greater force and ancient grudges. From a village orphan to a powerful cultivator, he must face the threat of the foreign object within him and fight his way through a world of cultivation ruled by the law of the jungle.
This is a xuanhuan epic about growth, revenge, and the struggle against the Heavenly Dao. With a mortal body, the young man defies fate, and amid love and hatred comes to understand the truth that “human desire is the Heavenly Dao.”
