Nixian Fengzen

The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all living things as stupid dogs; the immortals and gods are unprincipled and treat all living beings as prison animals.​ In this world, cultivating immortality is not about seeking immortality, but a blatant violation of the highest etiquette in the universe. In the Nine Heavens, those high-ranking immortals are not compassionate saviors, but gravekeepers who strictly enforce the rules of heaven and treat mortals as ants. The "rituals" they formulated were the rules of cannibalism; the "music" they played were the funeral songs of mortals. Xie Wujiu, a scholar from Liang Dynasty, wanted to report the crime to the country, but on the night of his family's destruction, he found a volume of "wrong gold slips" among the firewood passed down from his family. From then on, what he practiced was not the method of obeying heaven, but the method of going against etiquette. Others cultivate immortality in order to ascend, but he cultivates immortality in order to drag those gods sitting high in the clouds down into the quagmire and ask: "Why are you so high above others, and why should mortals have to be cows and horses for the rest of their lives?"​ When the golden slips were unfolded, the cold bronze light reflected the bronze inscriptions, and every word turned into a sharp blade that cut off cause and effect. Let's see how Xie Wujiu used his mortal body to steal heavenly fire, rewrite the truth, and light an immortal candle in this darkened mortal world in this troubled world where rituals and music have collapsed.
