Beneath the blood-red setting sun of the Great Wilderness, Lu Qingshan, an orphan from Qingqiu, saves a dying Bai Ze cub. His essence blood awakens a keepsake left by his parents, rousing the Classic of Mountains and Seas and opening a dual path of cultivation: forging the body into a Dao physique and nurturing the soul into a Dao heart.

In the end, Lu Qingshan forges his body into a Chaos Dao physique and nurtures a Myriad Sources Dao Soul. With the Shan Hai Sword in hand, he faces the Heavenly Dao Sovereign in the Dao Source Realm and splits the twisted order with a single sword strike, declaring,
