Immortal Emperor Qingyun has crossed the void and returned, wanting nothing more than a few peaceful days on Earth.
The Qingyun Immortal Sect he founded on a whim has just one rule: Keep an eye on the bracelet on your left hand.
When the white ring lights up, your fellow disciples are in danger. When the gold ring appears, return to the sect at once. When it turns deep red, the Immortal Emperor summons you, and war is upon you!
When demons from beyond the borders tear open the heavens, when ancient ruins among the stars reappear, when a cold interstellar pact trains its cannons on their home…
Qingyun discovers that the land that raised him is actually a carefully constructed “pasture.”
And the shepherd is watching from the darkness.
The Immortal Emperor flies into a rage and points his sword at the sea of stars. But this time, he must face the “Observers,” who stand above the rules, and the inescapable fate of the universe’s periodic “harvests.”
This is a solitary expedition from the city to the starry wastes, from cultivating immortality to defying the Dao.
