On a snowy night in Qingping Village, Chen Qi'an meets a young woman in a blue robe, walking barefoot through the snow. She carries an unmelting chill and holds a luminous white pearl warm enough to reach the heart. Like a wisp of cloud that has strayed into the mortal world, she shatters the fate he had accepted: study, pass the exams, and live a safe, ordinary life.
He is an ordinary man with an unremarkable constitution, born to be bound to the fields, watching the sun rise and set over a few meager plots of land. But the distant mountains in the young woman's eyes and the faint light at her fingertips awaken in him, for the first time, the desire to cross Qingmang Mountain. If another world truly lies beyond it, what does it matter that he is only an ordinary man?
Later, his village is slaughtered and his loved ones scattered. With the token she left behind in his hands, he steps over the ashes and sets out on his journey. He has no heaven-defying opportunity, no sacred body granted at birth, only hands that have dug in soil and held a pen. Amid the clash between immortals and demons, he must carve out a path for ordinary people.
Some say he is overestimating himself: how can an ordinary man defy the immortal path? He insists on carrying his stubborn, down-to-earth spirit from the lowly Spirit Gathering Realm to the life-and-death tribulations of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, trampling the words "impossible" beneath his feet.
This is the story of an ordinary boy in a world where the immortal path crushes all and demonic forces run rampant. With sheer courage, he protects those he loves and defies heaven in an ordinary body. Though born to be unremarkable, he dares to challenge the clouds.
The logic is clear and the writing is good.
