In the world of Kyushu Immortal Cultivation, ascension is the goal that all monks pursue throughout their lives.
Jiang Du, however, just wanted to survive his own death first.
He was just an unknown handyman in the morgue in the border town, collecting corpses for the monks, counting the belongings for the families, and handling the mess that no one wanted to touch for the Immortal Sect. Until a golden elixir corpse that was supposed to die from a thunderstorm rang three times in the copper coffin.
The corpse told him that he had been dead for seven years.
Jiang Du also got a mutilated life debt book that night. It allows him to see the monk's unpaid life debt, and it also allows him to exchange skills, cultivation and secrets from the unfinished karma of the deceased.
The case of fake death in a small border town revealed the ascension scam covered up by Xianmen; and Jiang Du's name was actually written on the first page of the book of life debts.
