One day, the ice wall that had never melted collapsed.
The people outside called it the "Sky Wall." The people inside called it the end of the world.
Tian Yi, a geological surveyor, was among the first to cross the ice wall. He expected to see a silent, lifeless glacier. Instead, he looked up and saw two suns. He saw mountains and rivers straight out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He saw a Gu Diao that could imitate a baby's wail and fed only on the living.
Only then did he learn that the "Earth" where he'd lived for over thirty years was merely a tiny patch of mortal land enclosed by ancient mighty beings. Beyond the wall lay the true world.
And the Classic of Mountains and Seas he'd carried around for half his life, dismissed by others as light reading, was true on every page.
An ancient jade, a legacy. An old man guarding the wall, a road leading straight to immortality.
From an ordinary mortal, Tian Yi stepped into a world teeming with spiritual energy, filled with sects and overrun by strange beasts. Some had lived for a thousand years and were still scheming. Others slaughtered one another in rivers of blood over a single life-prolonging spirit herb.
And his eyes, trained on mineral deposits for fifteen years, became one of the most valuable things in this world.
All he wanted was to survive, then go further and cultivate his way to immortality.
But no one can simply avoid the struggle for eternal life.
