During the Wanli years, undercurrents surged. The Ningbo epidemic, the Fuzhou massacre, the Yellow River dragons, the Kunlun avalanche... Behind each of these strange disasters, the shadow of the Netherworld Sect quietly spreads. They used living beings as sacrifices in an attempt to open up the legendary "Guixu" and attract the evil spirits to come.
Shen Canglang, a young man whose life experience is a mystery, became a "ground walker" by fate - shouldering the heavy responsibility of breathing the same breath and sharing the same fate with this world. From the moment he swallowed the "Earth Lotus" that brought both life and disaster, he embarked on a road of no return.
With his broken body, he walked through the plague-filled city, waded through the bloody river, climbed the snow-covered mountain all year round, broke into the deep palace and forbidden garden, and finally went to the extremity of the South China Sea. Along the way, save those who need to be saved, kill those who need to be killed, and keep the path that needs to be kept. There is the beauty's ten-year waiting without regrets, the trust of comrades in life and death, the tears of the common people for the rest of their lives, as well as betrayal, sacrifice and endless loneliness.
