Nine Realms of Enlightenment

Chen Chen, a sixteen-year-old mining slave, dug out a black stone tablet deep in the spiritual mine of Cangyun Mountain. There are nine cracks on the surface of the monument, eight of which emit light of different colors, but only the ninth dark gold crack is as silent as an abyss. The moment the stone tablet entered his body, he saw the afterimage of the ancient Dao Splitting Battle - nine huge spheres hanging in the gray void, trillions of monks kneeling in front of the tablet, and then everything collapsed. From that day on, Chen Chen discovered that he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see: gaps in the boundary wall, the flow of spiritual energy, and the lines of cause and effect on others. He used his waste veins to break through three realms in one night, and also learned the other name of the stone tablet - "Mark". He was not the first person to dig up a stone tablet. The first two hosts were both taken away. When they came back, their eye sockets were empty, leaving only two groups of dark golden light. In order to survive, he escaped from the mine and met Gu Changye, an orphan from Wanshou Mountain, and Qin Shuang, an abandoned disciple of Qianshan Sword Sect. The three formed a brief alliance, but discovered an even more terrifying truth underground in Qingyun City: deep in the ground directly beneath the center of the city, there was a living being turning over - its pulse was exactly the same frequency as the eighth crack in the stone tablet. The Nine Realms are not nine continents, but nine planes that overlap each other and have different laws. Each domain is sealed with a stone gate, corresponding to a fragment of a stone tablet. No one knows what is behind the stone door - because no one who has ever opened it has ever come back. And the ninth dark gold crack that had been silent was slowly opening.
