Ten Directions Immortal Journey
"The Golden Core is a ticket to the door, the Nascent Soul is a talisman of protection, and the 'Ten Directions Spirit Veins' are the imperial jade seal that can make princes turn on one another."
When Shen Qingxuan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the "Guixu Secret Realm" of East Pole Yingzhou, he still didn't know that the fluctuations in his spirit veins had already been detected by the Great Yu imperial family's "Heavenly Fate Instrument"!
Court intrigue: The emperor is critically ill. The third prince, Prince Ya, invokes "cleansing the court" as an excuse to send a hundred thousand "Black Armor Army" soldiers to surround Mount Hua, but his true aim is to force the sword spirit Fang Qinghui to hand over the "Spirit Vein Sealing Technique."
Jianghu intrigue: Prince En, Li Lian, spreads rumors at the "Martial Arts Alliance Conference" that Shen Qingxuan is a remnant of the previous dynasty. He uses the "righteous sects" to weaken Prince Ya's forces, but discovers secret imperial archives on the Northern Dark Icefield: the so-called "war between immortals and demons" was actually a lie fabricated by the royal family three hundred years ago to monopolize the spirit veins.
A cultivation allegory: Shen Qingyao's "Spring of Life" can heal the "Heart Demon Tribulation" of Nascent Soul cultivators, yet Prince Ya slanders it as "witchcraft" and plans to sacrifice her to the "Soul Refining Cauldron." The souls burning within the cauldron are none other than the border guards who once protected the spirit veins.
"They said reaching the Nascent Soul stage would bring freedom. But only after reaching it did I understand the game: what's in my dantian isn't a Nascent Soul, but a chess piece; what's in the spirit veins isn't spiritual power, but dragon blood."
"The Immortal Path in Ten Directions" takes "the bond between brothers and sisters to break the inner demons" as the main line, blending Jin Yong's heroic feelings in the world and the sense of fate of the immortals. The ultimate truth of the spiritual vein seal is reversed layer by layer, Ying Long's last words reveal the righteousness of the people, and every decision made by Shen Qingxuan brother and sister is full of swords and tears. It can be called the "Xianxia version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"".
