The Myriad Dao Book Vault

Cultivation has never been merely about breathing in spiritual energy and refining qi. The Great Ways of the myriad heavens are all recorded in books.

Severing emotions and desires, refining elixirs with the flame of creation, cutting through the mortal world with the sword, evolving the universe through formations... Anyone who wishes to tread the path to immortality must first read ten thousand volumes of Daoist texts.

A youth rises from the mortal world and opens an incomplete ancient Daoist archive.

While others toil to cultivate spiritual energy and bury themselves in bloody struggles, he sits quietly in a library, studying alchemy, understanding the tranquil heart, and seeing through the countless false paths of the Dao.

Secrets of an ancient catastrophe lie hidden in the fragmentary texts, while a distorted Great Way is leading countless cultivators to their doom.

When the flame of alchemy illuminates his heart, resolute in the Dao of detachment, and he pens a volume of Daoist scripture of his own, even a mortal can knock upon the gates of the divine palace.

With the classics as his ladder, he proves the myriad Ways and ascends to godhood.
