Old Fool

In the celestial empire, during the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven,
Chaos reigns across the land, and the people suffer.
The royal governance collapses, and western barbarians with their pantheon of gods invade.
New warlords arise, claiming territories; the Taiping rebels wreak havoc, leading to widespread misery.
Calamities like floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms, tornadoes, acid rain, blood moons, and meteor falls occur in succession.
Countless demons roam, strange beings thrive, spirits mingle with the inexplicable, and mysterious phenomena arise.
In these dark and tumultuous times, Tao Qian opens his eyes to find himself about to be beheaded at the vegetable market...

Longevity Chronicles

Tao Qian returned to his human form, riding auspicious clouds directly into the ancient Cave Mansion.


Having previously encountered the opulence of Dragon Marsh Mansion, an abode truly befitting an Immortal, Tao Qian's expectations were inevitably raised.


However, it didn't take long for this unique Bie Fu to surprise Tao Qian expressively.


Compared to the Water Mansion, which could be truly called a "Dragon Palace," this mansion in the mountain was quite simply modest.


Tao Qian strode in, and although the path grew increasingly wider, it was wholly primitive. There were no buildings or pavilions, not even a candle for light—the deeper he went, the darker and more secluded it became, filled with rugged, strange rocks.


Upon reaching the deepest part of the Bie Fu, the first thing to catch his eye were twelve immensely gigantic beast-shaped sculptures.


They were situated around an ancient altar at the core, with flags fluttering and fire swirling.
