"Disciple, you are here to complete a bet that spans ten thousand years for your master."
On a night of seven stars, Lin Xuan took the compass of his ancestor Peng Zu and stepped into the alien world of martial arts and spirituality.
This is a world where Peng Zu was seriously injured and defeated, and it is also the homeland where the inheritance of Taoism is cut off.
The warriors in this world have energy and blood like dragons. They use brute force to suppress evil and use human lives to fill disasters. This cycle has been going on for thousands of years.
The heavenly way in this world is afraid of immortality, rejects intelligence, and regards "Tao" as an anomaly that must be eradicated.
Lin Xuan woke up in this world and became the only "ember of Taoism".
He read fortunes, divination, drew talismans, set up formations, and used methods that were difficult for warriors to understand to solve the "abnormalities" that caused them heavy casualties.
