Beihai Whaling

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched;
Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat;
Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot;
In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!”
In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality!
Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension...
They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree!
Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world.
Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream:
Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars.
With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening.
"But you all smell so incredibly fragrant!
No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!”
The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

Killing Dao Fruit

Mist and clouds twined ethereally, as if the city walls constructed of pure gold extended towards the infinite horizon.


Jade tiles and emerald bricks were laid in orderly succession, with divine lights shimmering from the copper nails on the vermilion gates; even the most common pillars had the girth of a hundred men's embrace.


Above the plaque larger than any palace in the Mortal World were three golden characters: East Heaven Gate!


On the white jade steps before the gate stood thousands of towering Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, arrayed in grim formation, their ferocious and deadly aura freely spreading about.


The Heavenly Gate was vast, with clouds steaming and mists billowing, troops of Heavenly Soldiers imposing, dominating all directions!


Yet Wang Yuan could tell from their dull eyes.


Most of these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were like the clay and wood figurines in the City God temples, long devoid of their own consciousness.
