Shen Li, a casual cultivator at the third level of qi training, broke into Mangwu Mountain in search of an opportunity to build a foundation. In a hidden rock crevice, he found the skeleton of the "Xuan Gu Master", a monk who formed alchemy three hundred years ago, and a bronze tripod engraved with eye patterns. Since then, he has been stared at by an invisible "eye", and a black eye-like mark has appeared on his left arm that cannot be eliminated.
Three years later, he came to Heihe Town as promised and met Liu An, a mute who had been guarding the well for three hundred years. He learned that at the bottom of the well suppressed a fragment of the ancient evil god "Ming" - an immortal thing formed by the condensed evil energy of heaven and earth. The woman Ananda who crawled out from the bottom of the well was actually a genius monk who sealed the separated soul with his own hands three hundred years ago. Now there is only a remnant of the soul left.
In order to prevent "Ming" from breaking through the seal, Shen Li must find the legendary nine bronze cauldrons and recast the ancient demon-slaying formation before being completely eroded by the split soul. From Mangwu Mountain to Guixu in the East China Sea, from the Devil's Cave in the West Desert to the Gu Forest in Southern Xinjiang, he took Ananda's remnant soul to survive in the cracks between good and evil, and broke through on the edge of life and death.
This is a struggle against "being watched", and it is also a bond between people and souls.
When the Nine Cauldrons gather together, the truth is revealed - the biggest enemy may never have been the eye in the abyss.
