This side of heaven and earth is called Xuanhuang. Since ancient times, the Immortal Path has prospered, all races have stood side by side, and the strong have been respected. There is a majestic Immortal Palace above the nine heavens, overlooking the common people; within the four seas, there are many sects, each holding their own. However, under this bizarre and prosperous age of cultivating immortals, there is an iron law hidden - the path of cultivation goes against the will of heaven, and every step of breakthrough must be sacrificed to one's own heart. Everyone in the world knows that if you want to achieve the great road, you must first cut off the mortal world; if you want to grasp the edge of the sword, you must first cut off the thread of love. As a result, countless geniuses abandoned their conscience and morality like worn-out shoes in the pursuit of power, and became the puppets of power. They had the power to reach heaven and earth, but they lost the foundation of being human.
Chen Jie, a young man from Qingniu Town, grew up in such a world. He was born into a poor family, his parents died young, and he barely survived with the help of fellow villagers in the town. He has no prominent family background, no amazing spiritual roots, and he doesn't even know where his future lies. What he does most every day is sit on the bluestone at the entrance of the town, looking at the clouds and mists in the Luoxia Mountains in trance. There are cranes soaring in the mountain, spiritual beasts appearing and disappearing, and legendary cultivators practicing in seclusion in it. To him, it was an unreachable world, a world full of mystery and danger. He didn't have many extravagant hopes in his heart. He just hoped that he could live his life peacefully and live up to the kindness of his fellow villagers. That was enough. But what he didn't know was that the gears of fate were already turning quietly at his ignorant age. The sword of fate hanging above his head was about to fall, cutting his ordinary life into pieces. And he will eventually stand with a sword in hand to face the eternal game of power and morality.
