Xuanxu Daozang

Taishi's unity collapsed, and Xuan Ruins were born from the ashes of the catastrophe. Everyone knows that by absorbing the essence of the Tao, one can embark on the path of spiritual practice, but few people understand a cruel truth: power is a liability. If you take a ray of the origin of heaven and earth, you have to bear a share of debt. If the debt is deep, the body will be corroded, and the body and soul will slowly melt away, return to the path, and end reincarnation. The path of spiritual practice diverges into two different paths. The righteous path rushes to the cracks, seals the ruins to pay debts, and lingers in endless suffering; the evil path plunders living beings, transfers debt contracts, and seeks immortality in sin. For thousands of years, all monks have believed in a legend: when one reaches the pinnacle of cultivation and breaks through the barrier, he can soar to the clear sky and break free from all shackles. But no one knows that there is no fairyland outside the boundary membrane, only endless ruins. Those geniuses who broke the barrier all fell into the void, were imprisoned forever by the infinitely expanding market debt, and became wandering shadow guests. Lin Yan, who was burdened with the debts left by his ancestors, was haunted by the ruins from birth. If you don't practice, you will inevitably die young; if you embark on a journey, old debts and new debts will accumulate one after another. He witnessed the ruins overthrowing the mortal city-state, saw the lies that the sect had hidden for eternity, held the incomplete ancient bamboo slips in his hand, and walked between the right path, the evil path and the gap between the ruins. Closing the ruins is a never-ending hard labor, turning to ruins is a bottomless sin, and ascension is a dead end that has been written long ago. When all roads are prisons, he vows to find a third way—— Not asking about immortality, not asking for ascension, just looking for an answer that can heal the scars of the world and eliminate eternal debts. Heaven and earth are speechless, and the gap between ruins is wide open. From the day they are born, all living beings have already been born in debt.
