The Secret of Eternal Life in the City

Who said there is only mundane things in the city? The protagonist Xiao Tao was originally a poor and unknown student in the imperial capital. In an accident, he obtained the supreme Taoist tradition left over from the Taixu Immortal World - "The Secret of Eternal Immortality", and then embarked on the path of cultivating immortality. Relying on the pure spiritual power of the Immortal Emperor's Taoism and the powerful Xuanwu body training, he rose step by step in the city where spiritual energy was exhausted. He vowed to use this power to protect his only true love in this life - his girlfriend Xu Wanqing. However, Xu Wanqing actually possesses a "natural fire spirit body" that is rare in history, which attracts the covetousness of the hidden sect Xuantian Sect and the murderous intention of urban dandy. In order to save his beloved, Xiao Tao bravely breaks into the Nanling Demonic Cave, breaks the formation with his bare hands, and leaps to challenge the seventh-level monster in Qi Refining! Using erysipelas as a guide and jade lotus as medicine, he successfully broke through the fifth level of Qi refining, and shocked the Xuantian Sect with the technique of refining alchemy through the air. ​However, as he crushed the "Remains of the Lord God" under the Demon Sealing Cave, a greater crisis came - the spiritual energy recovery completely broke out, and the "ancient remnants" (descendants of gods) who had been sleeping for thousands of years awakened! Faced with the awakening hidden sect, the strange descendants of ancient gods, and the upcoming great changes in the world, Xiao Tao must seize the opportunity in a desperate situation! His goal: to seize the opportunity to build the foundation before thousands of sects and gods, and become the only chess player in this "world of great contention"!
