Lu Chen, the cast-off son of the Lu family of Luoxia City, was judged to have a useless body with all five spiritual roots. But inside an ancestral withered lamp, he awakened a blue flame that could illuminate the souls of the dead. Starting among graveyards and winter's bitter cold, he ferried lost souls, avenged blood debts, and protected the common people. Step by step, he ventured beyond his small city, through sects, the Eastern Wilderness, the Central Province, the Southern Border, and the Northern Darkness, until he finally stormed the Celestial Court of Lingxiao. There, he exposed a vast scheme stretching back through the ages, one that used cultivators as honey and the world as a beehive, and lit a lamp for everyone who had been treated as a pawn.
