Honghuang: Born a Sage, but If I Can't Attain the Dao...

Born a sage, he should have been the darling of the Heavenly Dao, a master of all arts and ruler of all things. But in the Primordial World, where sages are worth less than dogs and Great Encompassments are everywhere, protagonist Ji Hao's identity as a “born sage” becomes his greatest sin. In the eyes of every powerful being, he's the perfect “Tang Monk's flesh” and “elixir for proving the Dao.” From the start, the demoness Su Jiu'er corners him at his door, intending to “harvest his yang to replenish her yin.” To protect himself, Ji Hao draws on his innate affinity for the Great Dao and extraordinary wits to embark on an unconventional path to proving the Dao. He outwits hypocritical Dao Venerables, beats up ancient demon gods, subdues mythical beasts, and refines primordial treasures. Amid one life-and-death crisis after another, he discovers that the so-called “Heavenly Dao” is the greatest mastermind of all, treating all living beings like straw dogs and sages like pawns. To protect the people he loves and break the chains of fate, Ji Hao resolutely takes a path that is both righteous and wicked. When a sage's compassion cannot save all beings, he will become a demon, slaughter the hypocrites, and prove the Dao through killing. In the end, he outwits the Heavenly Dao and reshapes the order of the universe!
