The Search for Heaven in the Jade Ruins

In the waning days of the Qing Dynasty, the land is in turmoil, and a deadly trap of astonishing proportions appears in a valley in Shandong!

One wrong step by high-ranking official Ding Baozhen will send him tumbling into the avengers' inescapable web.

Li Sanshun is a peerless strategist who refuses to cross the line and kill anyone. With nothing but a deadly contest like a game of Go, he seals off every escape route for the late Qing's most capable official!

Paper effigies summon spirits, illusions form a maze, and poisonous fog corrodes the mind. Worse, a rift in the depths of space tears open the sky screen, and an indescribable, overwhelmingly powerful secret force from beyond the world looms over China like an apocalyptic cloud!

The Taoist girl Long'er defies fate to break the deadlock. Xuan Qingzi protects her with the Tao, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers appears to hold the field. A question to Heaven echoes through the ages, and an ultimate showdown erupts, without bloodshed or saintly naïveté!

No wanton slaughter or mindless dumbing down, only the ultimate battle of wits between clever people, with the tragic song of an age lost to a century of decline hidden beneath it!

Illusions blur truth and falsehood, while the Great Way is walked alone. Watch as the Dao's radiance soars skyward, suppresses the evil threat from beyond, and preserves a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers for humankind!
