The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted. If the monks want to break through, they must sacrifice to the "indescribable" existence. Cultivation of immortality is no longer about following nature, but about competing with the weird. The higher the realm, the easier it is to transform into an inhuman monster.
In this world, gaining power must pay a price (lifespan, five senses, emotions, memory). The protagonist Lu Chen has a special "cost vision" that allows him to see the painful price everyone pays behind cultivating immortality, and thus can see through demons disguised as gods and Buddhas.
