One day in the outside world is a year inside the tomb.
Ling Yan was framed and murdered. His bones lay in a mass grave for a hundred days, until he unexpectedly awakened an ancient tomb of immortality and returned with a century’s worth of accumulated power.
In the mortal world, cultivators fight over spiritual energy, pursue higher realms, and claw their way toward power.
He alone uses time as a furnace, tempering his body, strengthening his Dao heart, and breaking through illusions.
A hundred days of wrongful suffering. A blood feud.
His sect twists right and wrong, its leaders scheme for power, and hidden enemies watch like tigers waiting to pounce.
He returns from the dust, conceals his strength, and bides his time, digging deeper into the conspiracy at every turn and settling old scores one by one.
The world reveres the Immortal Venerable, fears the powerful, and follows the rules.
But with a century of lonely hardship behind him, Ling Yan defies an unjust world, cuts down the wicked lurking in the shadows, and carves out a mortal’s path to immortality against the heavens.
