Shen Yan is the only "stone-mute" member of the Shen family in Qingshi Town.
After being unable to stir up the monument for sixteen years, he was ridiculed by the whole town as a useless person in the world of immortality. His father was disappointed, his clan members looked coldly on him, and his neighbor Zhao family was humiliated in public - until he heard the words of a Taoist monument that had been forgotten for three hundred years deep in the back mountain mine.
"Boy, can you hear me?"
From then on, it took three years for others to understand one word of the inscription. He asked the stele directly: "What did you write?" The stele answered. Others worked hard to break through a small realm, but he jumped to two big realms just by chatting.
But this ability comes at a price - every time you interpret a Taoist tablet, you will have one more tablet pattern on your body. The day when the monument is covered with inscriptions is the time to transform it into a monument.
What's even more frightening is that he gradually discovers: the so-called ascension is a scam of being assimilated into the Taoist monument; the so-called fairyland is the cage inside the Taoist monument; and the whole world itself is a huge Taoist monument.
The appearance of the monument keeper girl Su Wanqing lets him know that he is not alone - three thousand years ago, there was also a monument keeper who tried to break all this, and then disappeared into the dust of history.
This time, Shen Yan will ask Taoist monuments all over the world to uncover the truth about the world. Even in the end, he will become a monument.
