A once-in-a-millennium window to immortality opens; miss it, and you're doomed for a thousand years. The heavens are in an uproar, everyone believing this is a golden age of prodigies vying for supremacy, of emperors proving their path. But Li Yu, merely a fourteen-year-old herb-gathering boy in the mountains, originally unassuming, is swept into the path of immortality by fate. Spiritual energy revives, great sects descend to the mortal realm, prodigies shed blood for the path to immortality. Only he turns and enters the mortal world, picking up the books of sages. He abandons the intricacies of the immortal sects, embarks on countless journeys, walks the path of imperial examinations, roams between imperial power and gods and demons, and practices the methods of merit and sainthood. Time cuts through prodigies like a knife, leaving behind piles of bones on the path to immortality. He seeks no fleeting glory, only to protect his family, embracing the mortal path to immortality. When the opportunity to become an immortal opens, all beings look back and see that the boy forgotten in the mortal world now stands before them.
