The protagonist, Lin Xiaofan, was once the Qingyun Sect’s number-one good-for-nothing among its outer disciples. After three years of cultivation, he was still stuck at the first level of Qi Refining, earning the ridicule of his fellow disciples, who called him a “leaky Qi Sea funnel.” After accidentally falling off a cliff, he stumbled into the burial site of the ancient powerhouse Venerable Immortal Jiuyuan and obtained a mysterious jade pendant, the [Jiuyuan Token]. From then on, he embarked on a heaven-defying path.
● However, the Jiuyuan Token is no ordinary inheritance. It is tied to a “Chess Game of the Myriad Heavens” spanning countless ages. As Lin Xiaofan cultivates, he makes one discovery after another: he is not its first bearer. Every previous bearer met a mysterious end, and each death was accompanied by strange celestial phenomena and the collapse of the Great Dao.
● As his strength grows, Lin Xiaofan gradually uncovers the “truth about the Immortal Realm”: so-called ascension is actually “harvesting,” and so-called eternal life is merely a higher-level cage. He vows to break his shackles, defy fate, and embark on the true “Immortal Path of Jiuyuan.”
