Eternal Life: Beginning with the Sutra of the Past Buddha

Zhu Yi is reincarnated into the world of Eternal Life, with the character “Yi” hidden within him. It allows him to evolve endless arts and myriad divine powers.

To his astonishment, he discovers that he is not only fated to the character “Yi,” but also connected to Hong Yi's “Yi.”

In the Great World of Xuanhuang, the Great Confucian Dynasty has made the path of scholarship and imperial examinations deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Those who pass the examinations can not only gain high office and generous pay, enjoying wealth and glory, but are also cultivated by the imperial court, taught the true martial arts of the immortal sects, and granted the chance to join one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

A popular saying among the great scholars goes: “The top scholar is an immortal. He can study, practice martial arts, enjoy wealth and glory, and ultimately live forever!”

In this life, Zhu Yi is the illegitimate son of the Great Confucian Dynasty's Marquis Wenzhen. His mother was killed by Madam Wang, the Marquis's legal wife. Marquis Wenzhen turned a blind eye, allowing Madam Wang to oppress Zhu Yi and forbidding him to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, while placating him with the claim that studying was the proper path.

Zhu Yi took a breath, looked around at the cramped little room and the books on the battered desk, then smiled. “It seems I'm truly fated to the character Yi! If so, how could I do without ruthless methods?”
