He is the True Monarch of Qingyuan Miao Dao who was enshrined as a god in the flesh, but he is willing to be a hermit in Guanjiang who "obeys the instructions but not the propaganda"; he is responsible for the Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills, but he is trapped in a Peach Mountain Restriction and is gnawed by obsessions day and night. Yang Jian, a tragic hero living in the aftermath of the Conferred Gods, was destined to embark on a path that goes against heaven from the day he descended from Jinxia Cave.
When they met the Meishan brothers, they became allies through blood; they brought the roaring heavenly dog with them, and they followed them through life and death. He used his mortal body to bear the weight of the sun and the moon, used his mountain whip to move mountains and fill the sea, and used his mountain ax to split the shackles of fate. From the failed attempt to split the mountain for the first time, to the rebirth of Buzhou Mountain's inheritance, from his obsession to save his mother to discovering the truth of heaven, every step he takes is on the edge of blood and fire.
