The mortal world is a prison, and all living beings suffer.
The immortal path is beyond reach. How many will ever find their way?
Lin Tian, an ordinary young man from Qingyang Town, comes upon a mysterious jade pendant etched with a dragon. From then on, he embarks on a cultivation path that defies heaven.
Along the way, he witnesses the most wretched struggles of the mortal world, and the most merciless gaze from above the nine heavens;
he faces desperate moments on the brink of life and death, and experiences companionship so tender it cuts to the bone.
The Li family has a daughter named Qianxi, gentle as water and resilient as silk.
She is a solitary lamp on the boundless road to immortality. With a lifetime of devotion as her guide, she makes him a promise that will endure for three lifetimes.
There is also a woman who loves to wear plain clothes. She always appears quietly in times of danger, crossing a thousand mountains and rivers, never asking when she will return.
One day, when he stands at the summit of the nine heavens and looks back on the road behind him...
Old friends have withered away, beautiful faces have turned gray, and there is no one left in the world with whom he can share his thoughts.
It turns out that being supreme through all eternity is nothing but the heaviest shackle in the world.
And he is willing to bear that shackle alone, all the way to the end.
