• World view:
On the Jiuzhou Continent, there are thousands of sects. Immortal cultivators fly to the sky with swords, move mountains and fill seas. Mortals live and die, but monks can live for thousands of years. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the foundation of practice, and spiritual veins, elixirs, magic weapons, and secret realms form the core of the competition for practice resources. In ancient times, the "Heaven Gate" was opened, and powerful people ascended. However, thousands of years have passed, and the road to ascension has been cut off, leaving only legends.
• Protagonist:
Lin Zhao, 16 years old, is a young medicine collector in Qingya Town. His parents disappeared in a secret place in the mountains and he was adopted by a medicine shop owner since he was a child. He was born with "cold veins" and could not gather energy, so he was regarded as a useless body in cultivation. However, when he fell off a cliff while collecting medicine, he found a broken jade slip in an ancient cave - "The True Explanation of Return to Ruins", which contains the powerful remnant souls of ancient times and heaven-defying techniques. It can turn the cold veins into "Xuanyin Body", swallowing other people's spiritual energy and feeding it back to oneself. However, every time it is used, inner demons will breed.
• Core Conflict:
The road to spiritual practice is inherently difficult. Lin Zhao possesses strange skills, but due to his strange skills, he is questioned by the righteous and coveted by the demon sect. He must choose between "righteousness" and "devil", "me" and "Tao". And behind the "True Explanation of Return to Ruins", there is a shocking secret of the end of ascension - outside the Tianmen, there are "gatekeepers" guarding it, prohibiting anyone from ascending.
