The path of immortality is ethereal, trailing the footsteps of immortals is elusive. Li Nianfan, as a mortal, descended into the world of cultivation, only desiring a peaceful life after realizing that becoming an immortal was hopeless. Little did he know that... The dog he adopted, because it saw him writing poetry and painting, became the king of demons, suppressing a world. The trees he planted behind his house, because they listened to him playing the zither and composing music, became the trees of the world, supporting the bridge between heaven and earth. The passerby he encountered, because he was casually enlightened by him, became a sage of the immortal path, leading an era. Looking back... It turned out that the scholar who had been pestering him for calligraphy and paintings was the immortal art master of the celestial world, the old man who was terrible at chess was the immortal chess grandmaster, and the beautiful woman who came to listen to music every night was the number one saint in the celestial world...
