In the Age of Declining Dharma, spiritual energy dwindled, the Heavenly Dao changed, and the path to immortality was severed.
Mei Shubai was a plum tree that had cultivated for a thousand years. With no sect, no master, and no elders to guide him, he was on the verge of reaching the Mahayana realm and attaining immortality. But as spiritual energy in the world continued to fade and the Great Dao began to collapse, he finally used the Mirror That Peers into the World, a secret treasure, to find a realm abundant in spiritual energy and escape into it.
Borrowing another person's body to hide from that world's Heavenly Dao, he repaid old debts, severed ties, sought strange treasures, passed on cultivation arts, and founded an immortal sect. Just as he was about to ascend, someone grabbed him and shoved a long sword into his hand, their expression desperate, resolute, and cruel. "Kill me, and you can leave!"
Mei Shubai furrowed his brows, wondering, Which one is this now? Why does someone always try to stop me from ascending? I'm nearly out of Forgetting Pills!
Bai Shu lost both parents as a child and was taken in by the Ninth Master of the Pei family as an adopted son. In truth, they never completed the adoption, leaving his status uncertain and his place in the family precarious.
He lived every day on tenterhooks. Then, one day, he dreamed that he had taken the place of the Mo family's eldest son and fulfilled a betrothal to the Ji family's young master, who was said to be incredibly ugly. But he died the day before the wedding. When he awoke, he made his decision at once: he was willing to give his body to the immortal who had shown him the future!
