Before heaven and earth were divided, the Dao came first,
Transforming all acquired things into the innate.
Only today do I understand that life and death are one;
I seek only the Great Dao, not immortality.
No supreme spiritual roots, no innate treasures, no super secret manuals. All I have is a Dao heart to hold fast to as we calmly stride along the Great Dao.
This book follows a cultivator who comprehends the Great Dao on his path to immortality in a world like those found in mortal cultivation novels. It avoids the familiar formula of absorbing spiritual energy and leveling up step by step. Instead, it emphasizes cultivating the heart and mind, putting enlightenment first, and cultivating both body and life, revealing the true bearing of a Dao cultivator.
