World view: [The Immortal Path in Troubled Times]
The spiritual energy is poisonous: Three thousand years ago, the pillar of heaven was broken, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was polluted by "turbid air". Monks absorb spiritual energy no longer to ascend, but to cultivate "gu" in their bodies.
Cultivation of immortality means cultivating voodoos: foundation building means cultivating voodoos into the bones, golden elixir means voodoos forming a nest, and Nascent Soul means voodoos breaking out of the body, devouring the host and replacing it. The so-called "ascension" is actually a complete reduction into an indescribable "immortal".
Hypocrisy of the Righteous Path: The upright sect of a well-known family suppresses the backlash of turbidity in the body by sacrificing mortals, while the Demonic Path becomes a refuge for the sober.
Core conflict:
The protagonist Gu Shen possesses a rare treasure called the "Wuwang Mirror", which allows him to see the "true price" behind everything. In this world of immortality where everyone is crazy, he must cut off cause and effect, strip away humanity, and find a true way of humanity in the gap between becoming an immortal and becoming a demon.
Biographies of characters:
