The great calamity has arrived, and the chessboard has been overturned.
The immortals and gods look on from the sidelines, while the demon cultivators shut their doors to protect themselves. The Buddhist sect seizes the chance to expand, while the Daoist sect secretly builds its walls higher. The five territories north of the river are divided, and the Southern Yan court teeters on the brink of collapse. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a sinister hand known as the “Holy Clan” is quietly closing its net.
The Chan sect makes its move, and the Buddhist sect makes its move, each fighting for fortune on this chessboard. Only the Jie sect remains, its lineage dwindling to a single successor: Jiang Qingyuan.
He has no move to make, because he himself is the piece thrown into a hopeless game.
He does not seek to outwit fate by half a move. He only wants to become a blade and cut open a path through the purgatory of Guangling, the decline of Jiangnan, and the flames of war in the north. His sect's teaching, “Seize a sliver of life,” is the only move he has.
Now the piece has moved. He will show every player on this board what it means to take root with a single move, even in the most desperate of circumstances.
It looks like cultivating Taoism, but it is actually cultivating immortality, but it also follows the Taoist set of worldly responsibilities. The actual state is the traditional cultivation of immortality. However, the description of the advancement in Chapter 11 is different. In the normal state, foundation building can control objects and fly, and the golden elixir can turn into a rainbow and fly. Nascent Soul is flying through the air. In this novel, you can barely fly short-term until you reach the Dao. To sum up, this novel is a bit different. Cultivation of immortals is not like cultivating immortals. Cultivators shrink in the world and are like ordinary people. They have many scruples, and cultivating Taoism is not like those who practice Taoism 🙂
The writing is good, the characters are well described, all living beings are in various states, flies and dogs are fighting for their lives, just trying to survive.
