He cultivated immortality for ten years. It was only when his master told him to descend the mountain and seek refuge with Li Jing of Chentang Pass that he realized he was in the Investiture of the Gods world.
He had planned to live quietly and avoid trouble, but things did not go as he hoped: he and Lady Shiji were trapped together inside the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
As the divine fire was about to refine them both until their souls scattered, Shiji held tight to his hand and demanded an answer from him before they died.
With death approaching, people speak from the heart. Looking at Shiji's peerless beauty, he softened for a moment and agreed.
Then Shiji overturned the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield and turned around to suppress Taiyi Zhenren. The world of the Investiture of the Gods had become something he could no longer understand.
This is a story about holding fast to one's true nature amid a great calamity, and about an ordinary man taking control of fate.
