An ordinary young man awakens the “blood of the Candle Dragon” through the gall of a Chiru fish. He plans his every move, kills an immortal who has shed his mortal body, and uncovers the cruel truth that the townspeople are all “human sacrifices.” This book builds an expansive cultivation system that reaches from mortal flesh to the realm of the Infinite. Amid the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the cultivation world, he does more than cultivate immortality: he seeks the Dao. In the end, he uses a mortal body to prove the Heavenly Dao of the Infinite.
