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.
