The story begins with Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The unforgettable Nie Xiaoqian, the judge Lu who cut off his head and changed his face, the painting separating the immortals and mortals, the beautiful and intelligent Xin Shisi Niang, the Su Xian who transformed into a cicada and disappeared, the hilarious duck-cursing scene, and the cricket whose oppressive government is more ferocious than a tiger... Fox spirits, female ghosts, scholars, officials, Yama, immortals—the bizarre and ever-changing world weaves together one fantastical myth after another. Reborn young man Chen Yan tempers his heart in the mortal world, cultivates the Tao to enlighten the gods, wields a three-foot magic sword, slays evil gods and destroys demons, and firmly believes in the pursuit of immortality. However, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio was just the beginning. Same characters, different stories. Not an infinite flow story, not a fan fiction. A reinterpretation. If you don't like this, please don't read. (My previous book, "The Pure Yang Dao," was 2.8 million words long, a classic fantasy novel, and is now complete.) (This story is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.)

Zhang Bairen, a Taoist disciple from the 21st century, was transported to the Sui and Tang Dynasties by reversing time and space after triggering his innate sword embryo. Zhongli Quan debated the Dao, and Lü Dongbin fought with his sword! With a flick of his sleeve, he subdued Xuanzang; with a single sword stroke, he repelled Bodhidharma! The power of governance rests with the most holy man, and Heaven ordained the Emperor to govern, and the Emperor, receiving Heaven's mandate, oversees and pacifies. On this day, Zhang Bairen stood proudly atop the Forbidden City with his hands behind his back, slowly unfurling a scroll of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation in his hand, looking down at the heroes of the border: "Who in the world can rival me? I dare ask you gentlemen, can you achieve immortality?"

Taihao means Heaven. The path to enlightenment is fraught with hardship, and the road to immortality is rugged. Due to a childhood dream of immortality, the young man embarks on a journey of seeking truth and cultivating the Dao. How deep is the sea? Only the Kun fish knows. How high is the sky? Only the Peng bird knows. How vast is the world? Only my myriad stars shine brightly in the sky. Soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky, its power stirs the winds and clouds of the ninth heaven. Even the most insignificant ant possesses the ambition to attain the Primordial Dao! I highly recommend "The Dao Pi Jiu Xiao" (The Dao Spreads Through the Nine Heavens), a work of ethereal beauty and ancient charm that you shouldn't miss.

Curator note

Science, though revealing the laws of the external world, offers no help to life itself; heaven and earth, and all things, contain their own great Dao. I must understand these things, nourish myself, and seek the Dao with a spirit of investigating things. As a science student, Liu Zhizhi kept his distance from many matters of ghosts and spirits, but unexpectedly, before his death, his grandfather passed on the Five Ghosts and Yin Soldiers to him, unknowingly leading him onto a path of seeking the Dao… This book is entirely fictional.
