Five years after transmigrating, Jiang Zhao still makes his living dredging up sunken objects from the river.
He wants to save enough money to heal his adoptive father’s leg and buy a sunny little house.
Then an old woman asks him to find her missing son.
There are no sunken ships at the bottom of the river, only a mountain gate lying upside down. Kneeling before it is none other than the founding patriarch of an immortal sect, who ascended three hundred years ago.
When Jiang Zhao touches a relic, he can see the paths it once traveled. Following these fading traces, he gradually discovers that the stars in the sky are all worlds once connected to this realm. Now the stars are going dark one after another, and the lost homelands are still calling out for help.
If someone can return from beyond the heavens, could the path that brought him here also lead back to the home of his previous life?
From Zhaoye Continent to the Nine Provinces of the Three Teachings, from the ancient demon mountains to the far end of the Celestial River, Jiang Zhao sets out on a journey of cultivation and the search for home.
He promised to bring people back. Only later did he learn that finding a path was just the beginning.
