The Dao: command the laws governing heaven and earth, refine pills and artifacts, set up formations, craft talismans, wield flying swords, and seize the workings of creation.
Zen: cultivate the mind and illuminate one's true nature, guide others to enlightenment, forge a diamond body, gain a wisdom eye, master karma and reincarnation, suppress demons and exorcise evil.
The protagonist is the only person in all the ages to fully cultivate both the “Dao Foundation” and the “Zen Heart.” While others can only choose one path, he can cultivate both, complementing one another to become invincible. He will uncover the origins of the Three Realms, the schism between Dao and Zen, and the truth behind the ancient cataclysm, then reshape the order of heaven and earth as the equal master of both Dao and Zen.
It's been a long time since I've read a fantasy novel that truly resonated with me.
