Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World: Immortality Begins with Guarding a Tomb

Chen Mo is an ordinary mortal with no spiritual roots and no connections. He has been told that immortality is forever beyond his reach. Until he is assigned to guard an unmarked, desolate grave. Seven words are carved into the stone before it: A celestial is buried here. Everyone says it’s a joke. Chen Mo doesn’t believe it either. But after he has guarded it for a year, a blade of grass grows on the mound. He eats it, and his body changes. After ten years, a flower blooms before the grave. He breathes in its scent, and his bottleneck shatters. After a hundred years… At last, someone from the immortal sect remembers him: How is that mortal gravekeeper still alive?
