Across the vast and mystic Xuanzhou, immortal sects stand tall, demonic paths run rampant, and the Heavenly Dao is indifferent. Everyone reveres the rule that the strong reign supreme.
Billions of cultivators spend thousands upon thousands of years cultivating, all believing that the immortal path is merciless and mortals are no more than ants.
In this chaotic mortal world, famine, demon rampages, calamities wrought by fiends, and wars among immortals never cease. Mortals are treated like weeds, trampled, sacrificed, robbed of their fortune, and harvested for their spiritual essence by immortals and demons alike.
The young Zhao Shanhe was born in a remote village at the very bottom of society. He witnessed human suffering, the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, and the callousness of immortals.
By chance, he obtained an ancient remnant jade of the mortal path: the Shanhe Jade, which bore the long-lost Great Dao of the Mortal Heart.
In ages past, a supreme Immortal Emperor had refused to follow the merciless immortal path. With a mortal's body, he protected all living beings, then sacrificed himself to destroy the world, leaving his tradition severed.
Zhao Shanhe is the sole inheritor of this long-lost path.
His aptitude is poor and his spiritual roots are impure. Every immortal sect looks down on him, every genius overwhelms him, and the world mocks him.
But he upholds the mortal way, goodness, all living beings, and his own heart.
Others fight for opportunities, seize eternal life, and pave their way by slaughtering mortals.
He gives up opportunities, saves mortals, bears calamities, and defies the Heavenly Dao.
From the dust and the lowliest of ants, he defies the immortal path, worldly convention, and the Heavenly Dao of ages past,
ultimately proving a path like no other: the Venerable of the Shanhe Mortal Heart Dao.
I cultivate immortality through the ages, yet remain mortal to the core.
I command the Dao of the heavens, yet never forsake the people of the world.
