Daoist Venerable of the Otherworldly Path

The Heavenly Dao is dead. Rules have become poison. In a world devoured by chaos, common sense itself is a deadly trap. The father of mountain-village boy Shi Jian and his hunting party are swallowed by an unnatural darkness. Their flesh disappears, and they become “anomalous horrors,” neither alive nor dead. When he is on the brink of despair, a mysterious monster hunter brings a glimmer of hope: treasures exist that can reverse the rules of the world, and Shi Jian himself is one in ten thousand, a “spirit-hearted vessel” capable of glimpsing the truth amid chaos. To save his loved ones, Shi Jian resolutely embarks on the path of “cultivating the strange.” He will discern the rules among countless horrors, master them, and eventually become the ruler of this chaotic apocalypse.
