Eternal Night's Floating Lamp: I Cultivate Pills and Martial Arts on the Uncanny Path
In this dark, brutal cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak, Zhuge Feng has neither an heaven-defying spirit root nor any great advantage. He is merely a lowly test subject, with a mysterious fragment of the Nine-Orifice Furnace in his possession. He cultivates both alchemy and martial arts, but understands the true meaning of the “way of survival”: if he can ambush, he never fights head-on; if he can gang up, he never fights alone; if he can escape, he never risks a direct confrontation. In this eternal-night world, he is like a faint floating lamp, using uncanny schemes as his shield and pill fire and sword blades as his spear, quietly laying plans from the humblest beginnings.
From a medicine boy in a border city to an uncanny king of the seas, from an abandoned disciple to the ruler of all realms, he advances one careful step at a time. Faced with blood feuds, sect intrigue, and wars between planes, he always chooses the safest path, until there is nowhere left to retreat. Then he will smile at the immortals and demons filling the skies and say, “I’ll come clean.”
This is a lonely path of the uncanny, until he meets Lin Xin, a sword cultivator as aloof and cool as the winter moon. She once despised his methods, yet when she was pushed to the brink, he offered her the only antidote. From mutual loathing to understanding to entrusting their lives to one another, they light each other’s paths amid schemes and sincerity.
The eternal night stretches on, but the floating lamp never goes out. Watch the most “death-fearing” young man use the cruelest methods and most meticulous schemes to become the greatest protector in the Myriad Worlds for the one he loves.
