While others meditate, breathe in spiritual energy, and toil to seize their opportunities, the protagonist alone sets foot on the path to immortality with a fishing rod. He fishes for spiritual energy in rivers and lakes, casts into seas of clouds to draw in the rhythm of the Dao, and drops his hook into the abyss for spiritual treasures. By chance, he glimpses the illusory nature of the Heavenly Dao and comes to understand the Great Way of Immortality through fishing, becoming entangled in a game of intrigue left behind by ancient Immortal Venerables. One cast sweeps away the world’s illusions; one fishing line pulls at the secrets of the myriad heavens. Amid tranquil clouds and waters, he fishes up the supreme immortal path of his own.
