In the Great Wilderness Era, strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas roam unchecked, the five sacred mountains are beset by strange disturbances, and one bizarre murder after another throws both ordinary people and cultivators into a state of panic. Xie Zhuxi wanders the streets in coarse hemp clothes. He appears to have little cultivation and mediocre talent, but in truth, he possesses a chaotic space, conceals peerless cultivation, and knows the secrets of the strange beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He plays the pig to eat the tiger, and never misses.
He has exceptional people skills and a witty, charming way with words. Quick-thinking and resourceful, he unravels baffling cases caused by strange beasts through careful reasoning, then crushes arrogant young masters and savage monsters with his blazing fighting strength as he explores secret realms across the mountains and seas. Along the way, he meets confidantes of very different temperaments: a young woman from an ancient clan who can communicate with and command beasts and carries the bloodline of a nine-tailed fox; a cool, enigmatic healer versed in ancient medicine and poison whose identity is a mystery; and a fallen immortal wielding a broken sword, searching for the truth and possessing extraordinary swordsmanship. Bound to Xie Zhuxi by their own secrets, they brave dangerous places together and unravel conspiracies.
From a commotion at a teahouse in Qinglan City to ancient secrets hidden in the Kunlun Ruins, from strange tales and bizarre cases across distant lands to power struggles in the lineage of the Heavenly Emperor, Xie Zhuxi masks his heaven-defying strength behind an ordinary appearance. Together with the heroines, he unravels the chaos of the mountains and seas, rising step by step through suspense-filled adventures and writing a legend of his own amid blood-pumping battles.
