When Ji Luo opens his eyes again, he has become a shrike. He feeds on nightmares. His former cultivation remains, but his magic has all but vanished, and his body wavers on the verge of fading away.
A lonely spirit entrusts him with a task: escort Xue Ruying, who bears a golden spirit bone and cultivates the Heartless Path.
He accepts.
But before he can even meet the person he is supposed to hand her over to, all sorts of bizarre events unfold: ghostly shadows that cannot be driven from his dreams, hostile cultivators with two hearts and four kidneys, and an immortal corpse being devoured by villagers...
To uncover the truth, they join forces and venture into the tomb of a mighty cultivator of the Wuji realm.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. A waterfall of liver. Neither dead nor alive. Living, yet not truly alive.
The cultivation world’s deepest secret takes shape in the darkness.
And the contract scar on Ji Luo’s lower back echoes a name that died a thousand years ago.
Who are you?
Theme: Never give up the courage to start over, okay?
