In the world of spiritual practice where everyone seeks immortality, Shen Wuyan, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, discovered an ancient scripture that was listed as taboo - "The Jue of Tao Wei Xin Jue". This method does not take the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor does it refine the elixir of the soul, but uses the "fear" of devouring living beings to one's own use, and the cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.
However, this shortcut to power is a terrifying path into the abyss. Every time he swallows a piece of fear, the source of that fear will sow the seeds of nightmare in his spiritual world. The cries of abandoned children in the dark night, the despair of defeated generals before their death, the resentment of desperate people towards the world... Countless negative emotions intertwined into an invisible giant web in his body.
He becomes stronger and stronger, and becomes less and less like himself. The boundary between illusion and reality gradually blurs. He is both a "demon" hunting for fear and a "man" hunted by fear. When he discovered that his biggest fear was the technique itself, he had no way out. Is this a chance to become an immortal, or is it an irreversible scam?
