A Mortal's Path to Immortality: Seeking the Dao in the Nine Heavens

Long Fang, a poor young man from the Eastern Continent, was ten when a cold jade pendant suddenly awoke and guided him into the brutal world of cultivation. Hidden inside the pendant was a mysterious wisp of consciousness called Xiao. It helped him sense spiritual energy and practice cultivation techniques, but also brought deadly peril. From struggling to survive in the Qi Refining stage to making his mark in the Foundation Establishment stage, Long Fang navigates sect rivalries and bloody battles in secret realms, relying on patience and cunning to make his way through a world where the strong prey on the weak.

As he approaches the Deity Transformation stage, Xiao finally reveals the truth: Long Fang's birth mother is none other than the Spirit Realm Mahayana cultivator, Venerable Immortal Liyue! To find her, he ascends to the Spirit Realm and rises from the lowest of the low to become a mighty Body Integration cultivator, caught up in racial wars and ancient secrets. At the Mahayana stage, he faces the most powerful beings in the Spirit Realm and rescues his gravely wounded mother, only to discover that the mastermind is none other than the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm! To break the deadlock, Long Fang survives tribulation and ascends. Starting as a humble True Immortal in the Immortal Realm, he roams the star domains with a Golden Immortal's power, opens a path to the Great Dao at the Taiyi stage, and ultimately challenges the position of Dao Ancestor as a Daluo Golden Immortal, contending against the Heavenly Dao.

This is an epic tale of defying fate, from the mortal world to the highest heavens!
