   To become an immortal, one must first worship Heaven. In the celestial palaces dwell immortals on the path to immortality, a path of three thousand, where immortals descend to earth. Refining the Nine Cauldrons, destiny is sealed by Heaven; the sword slays Taibai, the immortal wanders in peace. Half a life awake, half a life mad, half a life stubborn, half a life treacherous. All things appear, the nine extremes, following the giant sun, destroying stars. Heaven desires to destroy me, I destroy Heaven; who says the Demon Lord is not an immortal? Time has a path, aided by the red lotus; the demon thief from beyond the heavens seeks his way home. Great love and old friends, a land of joy, the Nine Cauldrons resound, paving the way forward. The cauldrons give birth to the Nine Cauldrons, refining all things; in the mortal realm and within Heaven, there are no true immortals! A demonic heart without regret illuminates the world, refining oneself, refining the body, and refining Heaven! (The contents of the book.)
