Radiant rays of twilight light up all of Heaven and Earth;

The path to the Dao twists through countless trials in the mortal world.

Ethereal music lingers around the palace beams,

Divine winds gently brush against the robes of law.

Elixirs and panaceas are not my pursuit—

Refining the Dao, claiming supremacy, and slaying demons is!

You ask where the immortals have gone?

To the Jade Palace and Golden Halls, where they stand equal with the heavens!

Some say the Jade Palace Immortal Lord is a hypocritical fiend.

Some say he simply got lucky, acted ruthlessly, and seized power for a time.

Others call him a savior of the world—claiming even now they’ve yet to repay the grace of the Jade Palace Immortal Lord.

But whether it was the struggling young man Wang Yulou, clawing his way up step by step,

Or the Wang Yulou who would later be hailed as the Immortal Lord of the Jade Palace,

He never paid any mind to the nonsense those people spouted.

The Sea of Bitterness churns—this journey was always meant to be against the current.

If one stops because of outside doubt and resistance…

How could one ever reach the other shore?

With destiny in hand, Chen Qing must survive!

He travels through time, only to find himself in a chaotic world where martial arts reign supreme and human life is as cheap as grass. He begins as a poor fisherman's son in Yazi Bay. His father, imprisoned and forced into forced labor, has been missing for the last time. His orphaned mother, exploited by both government taxes and the "Dragon King Incense" gang, struggles on the brink of starvation.

There's always a way out, and a thought hangs in his mind: "Destiny: Heaven rewards hard work, success is inevitable!"

This means that for him, there are no qualifications or bottlenecks to any skill; as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded!
