Synopsis of The Record of Chongyang's Quest for the Dao:
Wang Chongyang, a young hunter from Qingfeng Town in the mortal realm, lost both his parents at an early age. A mysterious ancient jade led him into the world of cultivation. Though he bears a five-element mixed spirit root that people look down on, hidden within him is a Chaos Spirit Root rarely seen in all the ages. He also inherits the ancient cultivation art Hongmeng Art. From struggling through the Qi Refining stage, to making a name for himself in the Golden Core stage, and finally rising against the odds in the Nascent Soul stage, he presses on through mockery and hardship, using his resolve to shatter the verdict that he is a good-for-nothing.
Xu Yao, a genius of the Qingyun Sect, possesses a mutated Ice Spirit Root and is the sect's cherished hope. When she first meets Wang Chongyang, she treats him coldly and keeps her distance because of his impure spirit roots. But after they repeatedly face life and death together, she witnesses his hidden potential and his true nature: loyal and devoted to those he cares about. From solving crises side by side in secret realms of the mortal world, to standing together against the demonic path, and then contending alongside one another in the immortal sects of the spirit realm, their bond deepens through every storm. Her initial disdain gives way to respect, and they become each other's strongest support on the path of cultivation.
From sect rivalries in the Eastern Domain and demonic incursions into the mortal realm, to clashes between immortal sects in the spirit realm and undercurrents stirring among the demon and devil clans, then the upheavals of the Nine Heavens and ancient secrets in the immortal realm, Wang Chongyang draws on his Chaos Spirit Root's ability to harmonize with all techniques, combining the five elements with the laws of space and time. Xu Yao wields the Great Dao of Ice to freeze all things, supporting both offense and defense. Together, they travel through dangerous lands across the Three Realms, gather divine artifacts, and unravel conspiracies. As they fight the devil clans and quell rebellions, their cultivation advances from Qi Refining all the way to Tribulation Transcendence. Through countless decisive battles, they protect the peace of the mortal, spirit, and immortal realms.
