Li Bai, the great Tang dynasty poet immortal, lies drunk at Caishi Shoal, falls into the river, and is reborn a thousand years later, back in the body he had in his twilight years.

Now white-haired and unsteady on his feet, he has only three months before his life burns out.

“I was born with talent for a purpose? This battered body can’t even lift a wine flask!”

Unwilling to turn to dust just yet, Li Bai travels across famous mountains and rivers in search of the legendary path to immortality, only to find scams and despair.

With just three days left to live, he discovers an ancient bronze mirror embedded in a crevice beneath the “Drunken Rock” deep in the Huangshan Mountains. Its surface is covered in star charts that exactly match the “Tianmu Star Road” he saw in his dreams as a youth!

As the ancient mirror enters his body, a warm current surges through his frail frame. The poem “Bring in the Wine” bursts from his lips, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. So poetry can commune with the divine, and even serve as a path to immortality!

From then on, the poet immortal in his twilight years takes up his sword and strides among the stars:

In Earth's cultivation world, he tempers his body with poetry and drives back Golden Core cultivators with “The Road to Shu Is Hard.”

In the Qingming Domain, he shares wine with a demon princess and breaks the “Ten Thousand Demons Devour the Soul Formation” with “Drinking Alone Beneath the Moon.”

In the deadly heart of the Demon Realm, he saves his dearest friend by chanting “The Chivalrous One,” turning his verse into sword qi and shattering the “Blood River Formation” of the Demon Realm's Three Kings.

From the mortal world to the sea of stars, from Qi Refining to World Lord, Li Bai's path of cultivation is a clash of poetry and sword, and a choice between longevity and the heart of the Dao.

“The Great Way is as blue as the sky, yet I alone cannot reach it?”

“Then watch me raise my sword beneath the lantern while drunk, and shatter the starry river once I wake!”
