Chen Xu, a genius of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, is betrayed by his own uncle-master, Yun Chenzi. His Dao foundation is destroyed, and his cultivation partner, Su Wan, burns up her soul to save him. Carrying the awakened “Stellar Mark,” he passes his soul into the modern world, faces death once more, and ultimately embarks on a path of revenge, cultivating his soul to return to the immortal path.
From a feeble wandering spirit to the supreme Ghost Immortal, Chen Xu discovers that the destruction of his sect is tied to a colossal power called the Supreme Dao Sect and its terrifying ideal of “purifying all things.” To uncover the truth, revive his dearest friend, and settle the blood debt, he takes the name “Chen Xing” and infiltrates the Upper Realm, navigating between its various factions.
Ahead lie the Northern Frontier’s forbidden lands and ancient mysteries. Behind him come True Immortals bent on killing him and allies scheming against him. Chen Xu has only one path: to make himself a piece on the board and shake the heavens! His Dao is not for eternal life. It is to protect the last glimmer in his heart and ask one final divination of this so-called fate.
