Digging the Sky and Returning to the Ruins

Zhang Ye had a long dream. In the dream, he was not a monk or a genius, he was just an ordinary man wearing work clothes and a hard hat, digging the last shovel of soil at the end of the tunnel. Under the soil is not a rock, but a lightless door. A voice came from inside the door: "Gong Zhang, you are finally here." When he woke up from the dream, he became a handyman in the outer sect of Xuanhuang Sect. On the surface, this sect is a monastery for cultivating immortals, but secretly it makes a living by digging graves. Others practiced Qi and asked, and he went down to the well to light a lamp; the world longed for ascension, but he just wanted not to be recognized by the beings in the tomb. Zhang Ye only has one skill: the art of looking at the ground that he learned at the construction site in his previous life. He can distinguish the color of earth, water lines, earth veins, and underground rivers at a glance. But it was this ability that led him to a dead end that no one knew existed. He unearthed an ancient pile engraved with the company number of his previous life, and also unearthed an ancient mirror. The road in the mirror was actually dug by him hundreds of thousands of years ago. The broken stone pillars are densely covered with his name. He finally saw the truth: the sky had long been cut off. The human world is just a thin layer of skin covering the eternal tomb. People in the world practice hard, but they are sinking towards ruins; the so-called ascension is just burying themselves deeper. Zhang Ye's path has never been to ascend to heaven, but to return to heaven. He has already passed the second of the three levels. The Huitian River surges under the ground of Jinxia City, the sky cracks into giant eyes, and all eternity is reduced to ruins. "I don't light the lamp for people who are afraid of the dark. I light this lamp for the people who should light it." The fate was harsh and the tomb was deep, but he never looked back. Next to him are the woman who keeps the secret silently, the swordsman who comes here because of his sister, and the young man who carries the legacy of his ancestors.
