Everyone Beneath the Mountain Is Me

Every time an immortal takes a step forward, they must sever a useless part of themselves. Cut away cowardice, and the sword heart fears nothing. Cut away love, and the Daoist heart is free of dust. But the things they cut away do not disappear. They fall at the foot of the mountain and grow into people. Shen He had been timid for sixteen years, until a Golden Core sword cultivator walked into his family's noodle shop. The man had the same face as him. Only then did Shen He learn that he was the “fear of death” the immortal had cut away long ago. Now that the immortal is about to reach Nascent Soul, he plans to refine Shen He into a handful of purified soul ash. Even the father who raised him is on the list to be sent back to the furnace. Shen He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want his father to die either. So the boy who wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken opens a book called The Incomplete Treatise on Nurturing the Molt. The first page reads: “Even a molted body can cultivate qi. Whatever you do, don't start by learning not to be afraid.” From Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment to Golden Core and Nascent Soul... The people on the mountain become immortals by giving things up. He, on the other hand, is determined to lead all those who were cast aside up the mountain, step by step. They say that people who fear death have no Daoist heart. But Shen He only wants to ask: Why should you take my life to become an immortal?
