Mortal Path: the Secret Shadow of Xuanmen

"Dad, I'm going to find the Soul-Reviving Grass, and I will definitely save you!" The moment young Chen Yan ran into the Forbidden Spirit Valley with a basket of medicine on his back, the gears of his fate were already out of place. He was originally an ordinary apprentice at a drug store in Qingxi Town, but due to a sudden disaster, he was forced to face the cruelty of the immortal and mortal worlds. He escaped from the claws of monsters and beasts, and became a genius rarely seen in Xuanmen for a century. But under this dazzling halo, there is the master's seemingly invisible plan, the tragedy of a confidante who has no spiritual roots but carries a sword and goes retrograde, and the hidden worry of his father being under house arrest. Chen Yan stands at the crossroads between immortality and mortals: is he following the fate of a "genius" and becoming a chess piece of Xuanmen? Or should we hold on to the sword and jade in our hands, protect the ones we love, and uncover the truth behind this mysterious shadow? His way is never in other people's plans.
