The Righteous Path's Obsession Cost Me a Hundred Years

"A Hundred Years Misled by the Obsessive Righteous Path" "Profound Ice, Radiant Light, and Free and Easy Wanderings" "Seeking the Dao Within"

Ling Qinghan, the model disciple of the immortal sect, has spent his life following its rules to the letter, yet he could not protect the carefree soul he held dearest.

When Qingyun Mountain was reduced to scorched earth and Yun Yichen fell into the abyss, Ling Qinghan finally realized that the righteous path he had revered as an unbreakable principle was a lie soaked in the blood of the one he loved. He broke his sword and swore an oath, leaving the immortal sect behind. From then on, he walked the path to immortality alone, seeking only to find the soul that had faded away.

Six years later, Yun Yichen, once so carefree and unrestrained, returned from hell as “Shadow,” a specter who knew only revenge.

He smiled with bewitching allure, his sword stained crimson, and buried both the past and his true feelings. That is, until a figure as cold as frost and snow stood in his way once more, bearing the infamy of the world for him and burning through every last trace of his cultivation.

Ling Qinghan cradled his bloodstained face, his eyes filled with a resolve he had never shown before. “If the rules cannot protect you, then I will shatter them. If the Heavenly Dao will not accept you, then I will descend into the netherworld with you.”

As profound ice and radiant light meet carefree flames, as fated enemies become each other’s only salvation, this time they swear to join forces, point their swords at the hidden hand manipulating all living beings, and carve a bright new world out of this false immortal path. Together, they will ask what it means to follow one’s… true heart.
