In the Age of Declining Dharma, spiritual energy has run dry and the Dao has fallen into decline. Zhang Qingxuan, the last heir of Qingwei Temple, is forced to leave the mountain and enter the mortal world to keep his tradition alive.
He only meant to tell fortunes at a street stall and scrape by, but after suffering humiliation, he gets caught up in a bizarre case. A bronze Bagua mirror passed down by his master and an ancient secret of the sect draw him into the hidden currents beneath the city.
Ancient heretical cultivators, reclusive clans, supernatural beings from abroad, treasured relics infused with spiritual energy... Beneath the dazzling strangeness of the modern city, supernatural forces have never been far away.
And as the dormant spirits of the Four Symbols’ divine beasts awaken one after another, they take the form of peerlessly beautiful protectors at his side:
The Azure Dragon commands thunder and endless vitality; the White Tiger summons wind and strikes with merciless resolve.
The Vermilion Bird scorches the heavens with the true flames of rebirth; the Black Tortoise guards the seas with the dark waters of the abyss.
Follow the young Daoist Zhang Qingxuan as he wields supreme Daoist arts in the worst of times, commands the Four Sacred Spirits, claims peerless treasures, and unravels a shocking conspiracy. In this Age of Declining Dharma, he will forge a path to the heavens and earn a name as a legendary Daoist mastermind!
