The Tianshu Taoist Alliance and the "Collapse of Taoism" abandoned the traditional "antagonism between good and evil" and built an extremely involuted and hierarchical "righteous world of immortality". The righteous way of the world is respected by the "Tianshu Taoist Alliance". On the surface, it pays attention to clear rules and precepts and the inaction of the Tao. In fact, internal cracks appear due to the "Law of Tao" (the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth). The major holy places compete for the remaining power of the law and fall into a cruel zero-sum game. There are many factions within the sect. In order to compete for the "right to inherit the orthodox tradition," assassinations, power seizures, and frame-ups have become the norm. The "Taichu Sword Sect" where the protagonist belongs is in the eye of the storm of power reshuffle. The so-called "extreme chaos" refers to the high-ranking elders, saints, and swordsmen in the past. In order to survive and ascend, they tear their faces and start a life-and-death fight without a bottom line in the sect's restricted area.
**Core character setting**
-**Protagonist: Chen Yanqiu**. The sword-wielding slave at the bottom of the "Zangfeng Pavilion" of Taichu Sword Sect. He has an extremely calm and pragmatic personality, and possesses a rare "cause-breaking" physique (the ability to temporarily cut off one's connection with the laws of heaven and earth, thereby becoming immune to the suppression of Taoism by high-level monks, but at the cost of enduring extreme physical pain). His goal is not to save the common people, but to survive this sect purge and seize his own "Tao". -**Key Supporting Role: Pei Jingzhe**. The owner of Taichu Sword Sect's "Sword Washing Pool" is the protagonist's nominal guide, but in fact he regards the protagonist as the "living formation eye" to ward off disasters. He looks as gentle as jade, but acts as vicious as a poisonous snake. He is the leader of the "revolutionary faction" within the sect.
-**Key Supporting Role: Jiang Suihan**. Chief of the Sect Law Enforcement Hall, absolute supporter of legal principles
