A Snake's Immortal Journey

This is a fantasy novel blending a war between immortals and demons, rebirth and reincarnation, and devouring evolution. The story begins when Old Man Yun risks entering the mountains to pick the Snake Clan's sacred treasure, the Blood-Red Flower, in hopes of saving his ailing wife. When a fierce tiger attacks him, he is rescued by Mo Chen, a half-human, half-immortal snake demon. To repay Mo Chen for saving his life, Old Man Yun promises to marry one of his daughters to him.

Though they begin as a respectful couple, Yun Zhi and Mo Chen gradually fall in love, only to become targets of jealousy and a plot by Yun Zhi's elder sister, Yun Yao. Yun Yao schemes to push Yun Zhi into the Soul-Eroding Well, then uses witchcraft to impersonate her. With the help of a solitary old witch from the Wu Clan, Yun Zhi's lingering soul rebuilds a body and sets out to gather the Five Elements' spiritual treasures in order to survive. Yun Yao's repeated mistakes make Mo Chen suspicious, while she secretly conspires with the Demon Realm in an attempt to seize power. The ancient snake-demon bloodline within Mo Chen gradually awakens, yet when he reunites with Yun Zhi, he feels an inexplicable stirring.

When the conspiracy is exposed, Yun Yao falls into the demonic path and becomes a Snake-Demoness. Mo Chen also discovers fragments of his hidden memories as an Immortal Emperor. As the Three Realms descend into turmoil, the mastermind, the Black Dragon King, breaks free of his seal. To protect Yun Zhi, Mo Chen forcibly fuses the powers of immortals and demons, driving himself mad. At last, with the intervention of the Venerable Xuanwu, everyone's memories of their past lives are awakened. Mo Chen embarks on the path of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon, while Yun Zhi inherits the cultivation of her past life. The final battle erupts at Kunlun. Mo Chen becomes the Chaos Dragon God, devours the Black Dragon King, and breaks free of the cycle of fate. Together with Yun Zhi, he protects all living beings in the mortal world, composing a magnificent legend that transcends the karma of three lifetimes.
