The Lord of Xuanhuang

Humans are the most gifted of all living things, a race blessed by the Great Dao. They should have flourished across the world. But a Dao-thief stole the heavens' place, plundering humanity's fortune and seeking to devour the Heavenly Dao and take its place.

After millions of years, Jiang Chen tempered himself in the mortal world, finally attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal. Having achieved the Great Luo, he sought to merge with the Heavenly Dao.

But when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a carriage, his body gaunt and withered, looking as if he were on the verge of death.

Which is real, and which is false? Is this a dream or an illusion?
