In the Year of the Fire Horse, wind and snow seal the bitter night.
In a ruined temple outside Qingshi Town, Xuan Chenzi, an elder of the Qingyun Sect, lies on the brink of death. He presses a bloodstained Qingyun jade pendant into the hands of Lin Xiaoer, an orphan.
“On the fifteenth day of the first month, Qingyun Mountain… If you want to live, you must go…”
From that moment on, an ordinary boy carries a secret treasure and sets out alone on a perilous journey of three thousand li.
Ahead lies a stairway of ten thousand steps reaching to the heavens, where wind, snow, thunder, and lightning temper his mortal body.
Behind him, shadows give chase. Demon sects and demonic orders surround him, all seeking to seize the pendant and destroy him.
Is the orphan girl from the deserted village a chance encounter, or does a thousand-year-old fox spirit conceal some mystery?
On the Qingyun Steps, every step hides danger: the scorn of his peers, the schemes of cultivation clans, and the perilous “trial of the heart” in the inner sect examination.
And this jade pendant, tied to the ancient secrets of the Qingyun Sect, draws him into a century-long contest between righteousness and evil.
Is the immortal sect atop the mountain truly a carefree sanctuary?
On the road to immortality, what does the true “righteous path” mean?
A mere insect, with a pendant in his hand and a conviction in his heart, enters the gathering storm of the Year of the Fire Horse.
He will brave the immortal path, shatter illusions, and seek answers about eternal life.
This is more than one boy’s journey in search of immortality.
It is also a record of the cultivation world, where passion, political intrigue, and the Daoist heart intertwine.
Super beautiful, looking forward to [admiration]
