Lin Ye, a boy from a mountain village; Su Yan, the daughter of a disgraced official; Zhao Meng, a discharged soldier; Yun Shu, the daughter of a medicinal herb farmer; Wei Chen, a wandering painter... These ordinary people, each drawn onto the path of immortality by their own obsessions, meet at Qingyun Sect. From inexperienced cultivators competing for resources, they become companions fighting evil cultivators side by side. They are drawn into sect rivalries and expeditions into secret realms, meet Qing Li, the young mistress of the merfolk, and Mo Li, a Gu cultivator from the Southern Border, and confront the Heavenly Dao Alliance's scheme in the war between immortals and demons.
Some hold fast to a gentle path, striving for coexistence among all peoples; others practice sinister arts, using ruthless methods to protect the living. There is no passionate romance, only clashing convictions and steadfast hearts. Lin Ye protects the realms with formations, Su Yan abandons her grudge to pass on talisman arts, Zhao Meng turns brute strength into a shield, and Yun Shu saves countless lives with her medicinal garden.
A hundred years later, their stories become legends, and a new generation follows in their footsteps. This world was never one person's stage. It is a great path paved by millions, each following their original aspirations.
