Heart Ashes

A night rain and a blue light dragged Su Yan into the ghost market, trading the "joy of seeking knowledge" in exchange for a mysterious "heart ember" - this is not the fire of traditional immortality, but the taboo key to the origin of "the annihilation of all things". Linyuan City has become an altar, and under the mass graves in the West Mountain, the "orifice of the netherworld" is opening, the blue light mist is devouring living beings, and the ancient seal is on the verge of being broken. Su Yan, who has no hope of cultivating immortality, possesses the "ember of the heart" and holds the broken formation in his hand, becoming the only uncertain variable in this dead city. When the orthodox immortal method became a "firewood" trap, and "burning the lamp" meant "burning me", he chose to walk on the dead end road that the man in gray robe warned with his life: use "silence" as the body, use "ember" as the purpose, look inwards and illuminate himself, and ignite his own first ray of inner light in the embers of silence. "This road is dead, this road is dead! But I am not willing to do it... Those who come after me must not repeat the same mistake..." Facing the last words of the crazy sitting man, Su Yan's answer was to clenched the lightning wooden sword in his hand and stepped into the blue light mist that swallowed everything. "I don't know what is at the end of the road, but the one walking here and answering these three questions is Su Yan. I am my road, and I am my lamp."
