The Register of Guixu

The Nine Heavens hang high above, and immortal registers come at a price. The so-called path to ascension is nothing but a net for exploiting ordinary people.

Lin Yu, a mortal with a fervent heart set on seeking the Dao, loses his entire family fortune and is wrongly condemned to the Nine Hells. The flames of purgatory burn away his illusions about the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Dao, yet reveal the true meaning of Guixu: a path can grow even atop ruins.

He emerges from the underworld, forges an alliance through wind and snow, builds a palace on an icy peak, and shelters suffering demons and cultivators. But the net of immortals and Buddhas will not let a rebel go so easily. Beacons of war flare in Langzhong, and the flow of time shakes the Nine Heavens.

With nowhere left to settle in his homeland, he will tear open the cosmos and journey to a twin-moon world, seeking a way to survive beyond the old Heavenly Dao.
