The immortals are dead. What people call cultivation is merely stealing the path of the dead.
Ten thousand years ago, the Immortal Realm collapsed, and every immortal and god perished. Only their shattered bones remained, buried among the living. Later generations of cultivators dug up the bones and stole their paths, fighting over the illusory promise of immortality. Yet no one knew the truth behind the immortals’ fall.
The young Shen Li was born in Corpsebone Village and branded a useless cripple, unable to draw in spiritual energy. He endured endless humiliation. But he possesses a forbidden constitution known as the Memory Body: the moment he touches an immortal bone, he can glimpse memories spanning the ages. It also holds the blood feud of his parents, who were brutally murdered by the Bone-Seizing Sect.
When he is cornered and nearly killed, the dormant remnant soul of a Shadow Immortal awakens within him. From then on, two souls coexist in one body, and shadow becomes his blade.
The Bone-Seizing Sect wants to turn him into a vessel to unseal the Mad Daoist, hoping to overturn the two realms. Cultivators across the world covet his constitution and seek to seize his opportunities.
Burdened by a blood feud and holding the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, Shen Li rises from the brink of despair.
If the immortals are dead and no one remains to protect the path, then he will carve out a way to survive for himself, from the stolen legacy!
