Chronicles of the Profound Heaven

In the Eastern Lands, on Mount Xuanyue, Li Mufan is an ordinary disciple of the Taiqing Sect. Though his aptitude is unremarkable, he unexpectedly discovers a fragment of the Primordial Record, drawing him into the conflicts of the Three Realms. Handsome and bright-eyed as the full moon, he is gentle yet sharp beneath the surface. Starting as a lowly Qi Refining cultivator, he struggles against the rules and secrets of the Taiqing Sect, fighting to survive the Blood Fiend Sect’s cruelty and the infighting among his fellow disciples. With an ancient record, he uncovers the mysteries of yin and yang and tempers his mortal body into primordial unity. When the swordplay and talismans of the Eastern cultivation world collide with the elemental light of Western magic; when the Taoist Three Pure Ones’ nonaction and the Buddha Tathagata’s compassion meet Zeus’s thunderbolts and Odin’s spear; when the wings of angels of light and darkness sweep past the scales and claws of the demon realm’s divine beasts; and when the Ten Kings of the Underworld face Hades over the order of reincarnation, Li Mufan stands in the rift between East and West. In his left hand, he holds the Taoist mysteries of the Taiqing Seal; in his right, he gathers the foreign power of elemental magic. Before him are Zhao Lei’s sincerity, Xiao Yue’s cool reserve, and Bai Ling’s passion. Behind him stand all the people of the Three Realms, whose world is being consumed by the chaos of the outer realms. Family ties lie buried in a sealed past, friendship is tempered on battlefields of life and death, and love is caught between the barriers of rival traditions. From the morning bells and evening drums of Mount Xuanyue to the ethereal music of the Kunlun Daoist debate, from the sacred vaults of the Western church to the chaotic abyss of the outer-realm rifts, he uses the Primordial Record as a key to unlock the ultimate mysteries of Eastern and Western powers. As the gods fall and countless races teeter on the brink, he joins hands across the boundaries of worlds and cleaves a path to survival for all amid a shattered universe.
