In the beginning, Chaos opened, but Heaven and Earth had yet to separate.
In an unmarked valley on the edge of the Eastern Pole, a figure lay curled among the remnants of a Chaos Green Lotus, asleep as if dead. He was Dao Xuan, a soul who had transmigrated through time and space. The instant he arrived in this world, an invisible force sealed away his consciousness.
A faint white glow surrounded the valley. It was a protective barrier the System had set up after the first day's sign-in.

This book contains the principles of heaven and earth and the philosophy of life. It requires careful understanding. Isn't life about knowing one's mind and one's nature, and being able to see one's true self? This is what cultivating immortality is. Although we have cultivated to be free and at ease, all living beings are confused by their seven emotions and six desires, so they are busy, forgetting their original intentions, and eventually become burdened by worldly things.
