He was an ordinary boy from a remote border town, until an accident swept him into a vast game of fate that separated immortals from mortals. Bound by the worldly ties of an unknown past, he glimpsed the path to immortality amid the turmoil of the mortal world, then struggled to survive the infighting within sects and the clash between good and evil.
Should he drift with the tide, letting the trivial concerns of the mortal world wear away his Dao heart? Or defy fate and cut through the tangled web of karma with the sword in his hand?

It lay in every worldly bond, in every choice between gain and loss, and every decision between life and death.
