Forging the Way and Establishing the Heart

The Heavenly Dao is merciless. Tribulations cycle, and all living beings must endure them. Across three thousand worlds and countless beings, which path should one take?

Author’s note: Infinite-flow stories are boundless yet hollow, with no known origin. Primordial-world stories are vast yet rigid, with the road ahead cut off. Ordinary-mortal stories are concise and Western-fantasy-like: are the gods above the immortals? Bring the various schools together in one book, take what is worth taking and discard what should be discarded, and create the definitive cultivation-fantasy novel. (The ambition of a post-2000s author.)
