Is cultivating an immortal a blessing? No, this is a tragic curse that lasts forever.
Lu Chen, a young man from a mountain village, awakened his spiritual roots with a longing for Yunxiao Wonderland, but was brought into a completely different world of cultivation. There are no grudges or happy lives here, only silent monks, oppressive sects, and the pain and restraint that are hard to ignore in the practice.
He soon discovered that the so-called spiritual energy was actually the "Breath of Taixu" that eroded reality. The true mission of the immortal cultivator is not to transcend, but to become a "living seal", using the soul as a container to absorb the breath of destruction and protect the crumbling barriers of the world. The higher the cultivation level, the further away from the fireworks of the world. The final "ascension" means becoming part of the world's barrier and falling into eternal loneliness.
From the strange "mountain god sharpening the knife" wind in Qingshi Gorge, to the ferocious "virtual spirits" in the secret realm; from the crazy temptation of Guixu Sect to "embrace the virtual", to the truth about the silent annihilation of his predecessors on the "Great Wall"... Lu Chen was forced to face this cruel fate.
When protection means never-ending sacrifice, when resistance may lead to complete destruction, is there a third way?
This is a novel about "borders" - the boundaries between individual and collective, sacrifice and survival, destruction and integration. See how the young man finds a ray of human fire that shines through the eternal night in an epic that is doomed to tragedy, and ignites a different future for the two worlds.
