On the Xuanhuang Continent, the path to immortality opens only to the gifted. Ordinary folk with mortal bones can spend their whole lives without ever glimpsing the gates of the immortal sects.
When the mountain village boy Lin Yan is caught in a massacre that wipes out his village, he and his brother escape a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Everyone says that those with mortal bones can never become immortals, but he is determined to defy fate despite his humble beginnings. Through blood and fire, he will forge a path to immortality that belongs to him alone.
