Wang Li, an ordinary mortal, encounters the mysterious power of Xuan Yin and becomes Han Tianzun’s disciple, joining forces with Li Feiyu. While fleeing a famine, he stumbles into an ancient cave of thousand-year-old frigid energy and discovers a lost Xuan Yin foundation. From then on, he is bound to the Supreme Yin Dao and breaks free of his mortal limitations.
After a series of twists and turns, he is taken in as Han Li’s sole outer disciple. Known throughout the Three Realms as Han Tianzun, Han Li entrusts him with the secrets of the Heaven-Connecting Bottle, the Azure Essence Sword Art, and a hundred arts of alchemy and talismans, teaching him how to survive in turbulent times. On his way down the mountain to gain experience, Wang Li befriends Li Feiyu, a bold and decisive man who lives by his own code and is ready to fight and kill for those he cares about.
One is skilled at keeping his patience and laying plans, wielding the mysterious and unpredictable power of Xuan Yin. The other charges into trouble with sword in hand, striking decisively and protecting his brother.
Together they roam the Yue Kingdom in the southern reaches of the world, brave the Bloody Trial, seize ancient spirit mines, and navigate the conflict between righteous and demonic sects, witnessing the cultivation world’s cruel truth: the strong prey on the weak.
Wang Li has no innate holy body or heaven-sent luck. Relying only on his Xuan Yin foundation and the cautious techniques taught by Han Tianzun, he steadily gathers resources and lies low to avoid disaster. Li Feiyu cuts a path with his sword, shielding him from countless overt and covert attacks.
From a lowly Qi Refining cultivator to a force across the Spirit Realm, a mortal’s road to immortality is paved with blood and schemes. When the Supreme Yin Dao sweeps across the heavens, master and disciple, brothers in arms, stand side by side. Only then does the world understand: even one born to humble origins can prove the Dao and become a Celestial Venerable!
