Asking the Heart Under the Immortal Firmament

Lu Chen, an outer disciple of Yunyao Sect, has his dantian crippled in an “accident,” and it is discovered that his body contains a bizarre seal that even the sect’s grand elder cannot see through. He is then coldly expelled from the mountain gate.

In despair, he unexpectedly obtains a turtle shell recording a broken ancient secret art, and from that moment takes an entirely different path of cultivation—he does not absorb spiritual qi, and instead cultivates “state of mind” and “ancient methods.”

While breaking the seal and recovering his strength, he gradually becomes entangled in a sect struggle spanning ten thousand years, the secrets of the ancient Immortal Court, and the “Heavenly Dao sacrifice” scheme that concerns the survival of the cultivation world.

As his power grows and the truth emerges, he learns that he is actually the long-predestined “sacrifice” in some earth-shaking plan, his very existence meant to repair the cracks in the Heavenly Dao. From resisting fate to understanding fate, and finally in the desperate situation of either “becoming a sacrifice” or “destroying the world,” Lu Chen uses the people’s collective will as a guide and his own sealing power as a foundation to create the “Way of Asking the Heart,” forcibly reshaping part of the Heavenly Dao’s rules and winning a sliver of transcendence for all beings, and for himself.
