Lectures in Gusu, turmoil in the Cloud Recesses. Beneath the appearance of a golden age for the cultivation world, undercurrents surge.
Though Wei Wuxian, once known as the Yiling Patriarch, has become cultivation partners with Hanguang-Jun Lan Wangji and now lives in the Cloud Recesses, the demonic path is still regarded as heresy, drawing widespread criticism and ostracism. When Lan Wangji adds a new rule to protect him, “Listen to all sides and judge clearly. Do not cling blindly to convention,” the clash between old and new ideas is on the verge of erupting.
During a night hunt, Wei Wuxian uses the wonders of the demonic path to save the day, only to be condemned as a “heretical fiend.” Rumors and attacks grow rampant, provoking a backlash from conservative forces within the Lan clan. Just then, Wei Wuxian discovers a clue among his parents’ belongings, one that points to the ancient secret realm of Wuwang Abyss, where the “scab of the world’s spiritual ley lines” is said to lie.
Determined to uncover the truth and find a way to stand side by side with those he loves, Wei Wuxian sets out for the abyss. Lan Wangji casts off his restraints and goes with him. “Rules are made for people, not people for rules.”
But what awaits them in Wuwang Abyss is a terrifying truth that could overturn everything they know: the world’s spiritual ley lines are drying up, and the source of the power drawn upon by the demonic path is none other than the core of these collapsing ley lines! Should they keep the truth hidden and watch the world march toward its end? Or reveal it to all, once again making Wei Wuxian and the cultivation path he represents targets for the entire cultivation world?
Meanwhile, a mysterious force waits for its chance to strike, the resentful souls of old acquaintances return, and infighting within the cultivation world grows ever fiercer... When trust is put to the test and they must choose where their loyalties lie, how will Wangxian find a way through?
