Seeking Truth from the Ashes

After the death of Dao, Xuanzhou was reduced to ashes. The ancient inheritance of seeking the Tao was cut off, and the world of immortality fell into a carnival purgatory of "the prosperity of magic and the decline of Taoism" - the monks were addicted to the quick success of stacking pills and the pleasure of crushing spells, leaving behind their original intention of "clearly understanding one's mind and seeing one's nature". Inner demons breed, heavenly demons rage, the path to ascension has long been cut off, and only boundless impetuosity and despair remain on the continent. Wang Jue, a scholarly boy with mediocre qualifications and no special physique, stepped into the immortal sect due to an accident and stubbornly adhered to the outdated creed of "cultivating one's mind first". When his peers were frantically snatching resources, he buried his head in the scripture pavilion and studied the damaged Taoist canon; when the world was obsessed with high-level magic, he traveled through rivers and volcanoes to understand the principles of heaven and earth. He is an outlier in the sect and is ridiculed as a "pedantic waste"; he is a rebel of the times, using his mortal body to explore the lost charm of the Tao in the ashes. No one knows that this firm Taoist heart is actually the only hope to fight against the demons and resolve the inner demons. When the catastrophe comes and all sentient beings lose their way, Wang Jue will use himself as a torch to rekindle the fire of seeking the Tao in the lightless ashes, uncover the truth about the death of the Tao, and awaken the sleeping world of immortality - power is never the end, and the path to enlightenment is the way back.
