Xiao Mo was a Go player in his previous life. In this life, he transmigrated into the body of a death-row prisoner framed for another's crime.
Inside him is a Seven-Day Heartless Gu that flares up once every seven days. When it does, all his emotions disappear, turning him into a calculating machine without feelings. It's a curse, but also his greatest trump card.
His method of cultivation isn't meditating in seclusion. It's planting Dao Seeds.
The sacred sects' rule is that one must cut ties with the mortal world to seek the Dao. His rule is: find a Dao companion first, then figure out the rest.
The first Dao Seed was planted in the heart of a Holy Maiden who had cultivated the Heartless Dao for eleven years.
The second Dao Seed unexpectedly resonated with the Sword Attendant beside him, who bore a seal within her.
There are five more to come. One for each of the seven emotions. One for each of his seven Dao companions.
The Holy Maiden asks him, "What do you call your Dao?"
He says, "I Plant Dao Companions in the Immortal Realm."
