On the path of cultivation, a hundred schools contend.
The orthodox Confucian school teaches benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. Its followers study the classics of the sages, travel far and wide, educate the common people, and keep the mortal world close to their hearts. Sages are the Confucian ideal of enlightenment, and education is the foundation of Confucian doctrine.
Yet the many branches of Confucianism also contend over their tradition.
For instance, they debate whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil.
They debate whether to value oneself or the greater good.
The orthodox Daoist schools are no different. The Zhengyi school of Longhu Mountain is renowned for its talismans, while the Quanzhen school of Baiyun Mountain is famous for its inner alchemy. Yet disputes over the Dao persist.
Since each sect has its own idea of how to attain immortality, it is only natural that a hundred schools contend.
And it is in such a chaotic age that Lin Yun proves his Dao and becomes an immortal, one step at a time.
He learns from the strengths of a hundred schools and discards their flaws.
When the various paths clash, what sparks will fly from the protagonist's Dao heart?
