Synopsis
A boy raised by evil people enters the immortal cultivation world, defying fate to become a legend amid humans, demons, and evil spirits.
What will happen when a desperate boy who grew up among evil people steps into the world of cultivating immortals? Immortals and demons can be separated by a thought, and life and death are not decided by heaven. Let's see how he goes against the current in this world where humans and demons coexist and evil spirits run rampant, and become a legend. (Source: iQIYI, translated)
