A Charming Road to Immortality

The splendor of the Great Dao: soar through the void on the wind, seal the heavens and imprison the earth.

Lay the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas to waste, leaving only desolation;

Seize the true spirits of plants and trees, and their brilliance fades away.

The Great Dao is rugged. All things compete, the fittest survive.

Demons take human form, immortals and Buddhas attain the Dao, all seeking to rival the heavens in longevity.

When the skies clear, gaze upon the boundless white clouds and the radiant mountains and rivers.

The road to immortality is so magnificent, it draws countless heroes and prodigies to bow before it.

Alas, the Primordial Ancestor fell a little short in talismans and formations; Xuan Huang Zhenwu was somewhat inferior in alchemy and artifacts.

The peerless prodigy, Emperor Thirteen, knew only how to draw his sword and fight his enemies.

All that is past. To count the truly remarkable, look to the present.

At the end of the Tianxuan era, the times fell into decline and chaos. The political situation was unstable, and wars were frequent. Great clans, ambitious warlords, and aristocratic factions ruled their own territories, enslaving the common people, holding the power of life and death, and competing to amass wealth for their own protection. They were everywhere.

Those who followed the Way and those who practiced the arts either devoted themselves to the mysteries of the profound, seeking only longevity and ignoring worldly affairs; roamed the martial world, championing justice and avenging wrongs; withdrew to remote places, punishing the strong and aiding the weak to protect their homes; attached themselves to the powerful, going along with corruption and willingly serving as their lackeys; or remained loyal to the court and died for their sovereign...

Born into such an era, how will Mo Xiaobei, a cultivator from a humble family, choose? Where will he go from here...

This is a slice of history, and also the coming-of-age story of an ordinary person who cultivates the Dao and becomes an immortal.

This is a complicated martial world, and also the story of an ordinary person's lifetime of joys and sorrows, grudges and affections.

This is a strange and wondrous world, and also the journey through life of an ordinary person.

This is a mysterious gateway to an ocean of the Dao, where Dao arts are unfathomable, and also the story of an ordinary person studying and seeking the Dao along the way.
