[Alternate History + Police + The Old Path to Immortality + A Clash of Daoist Sects + Unorthodox Buddhist Cultivation and Strange Techniques + The Origins of the Nanyang Art of Gu Sorcery]
A police mole who was "dismissed" from the police academy, a pampered, hot-tempered female officer, a shrewd police superintendent, a shady Daoist priest doing someone a favor, an unorthodox Buddhist cultivator, a senior apprentice brother who has gone mad hunting for immortality, and a Daoist disciple doted on by everyone. A smuggling case draws the police, Daoist sects, Buddhist sects, and overseas organizations into the fray. Each side brings out its own tricks, all to claim a fragment of the legendary Fusang Sacred Tree.
Some are driven by desire, some by the pursuit of immortality, and some simply want to die in peace. Others even want to turn everyone into gu, using them as power to sustain heaven and earth.
To survive, Huang Yu must uncover his true identity and kill the enemy he once failed to finish off. He must save the lives of the few people he still cares about, and help the people of this world settle their grievances in a satisfying way.
