Going Retrograde Under the Ruins

A hundred years after the end of the Dharma, the spiritual veins of heaven and earth have dried up. The Qingyun Sect cultivates the spirit-returning rice to maintain the immortal path. The rice does not accept the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and only extracts the essence, blood and longevity of mortals. The common people lose their lifespan every year and become nourishment for the immortal sect. Imperial City Imperial Guard Lu Li witnessed the lives of his neighbors being consumed by immortal rules, and vowed to overthrow the old rules of raising immortals: cut off the food of vampire immortals, tear apart unfair immortal covenants, cut off the power that the immortal sect has monopolized for hundreds of years, and use a piece of mortal flesh to rebel against the way of heaven that overwhelms the common people. Lu Li fought step by step, vowing to earn a sliver of life for the mortal world, but the more determined he was on this path, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. He tried his best to defeat the immortals in reverse, but in the end, this seemingly road to save the common people, was it relief or the beginning of another endless disaster?
