I Use My Bones to Ask for Immortality

In the Bingwu year of the great zodiac, red clouds pressed down on the city, and all the lanterns in the southern sky fell in one day. Thirty-four-year-old Xie Qingxi is still trapped in the ninth level of Qi Refining, working as a document copying clerk in Silu Pavilion. In order to save a young cultivator who was devoured by a longevity contract, he accidentally awakened nine remaining lanterns that had sealed the catastrophes of the past generations. Every time he lights one, he can re-enter an old disaster, but he must first admit a mistake that he least wants to face. At this time, the old master who burned his Dao foundation twelve years ago returns and wants to use the longevity fire of thousands of disciples to support Tianmen, and perhaps complete the Dao foundation for him. The foundation-building immortality that has been delayed for twelve years is right in front of him, but Xie Qingxi just wants to ask clearly first: Who will be eaten first by this heavenly gate that is said to be accessible to everyone?
