Above the Great Dao

Chen Shi is a descendant of Zheng He’s legendary treasure fleet, born with a divine fetal constitution that is stolen from him when he is very young. Left with only his grandfather, Chen Yin, he grows up in obscurity, hiding a strange “ghost hand” and suffering from fragmented memories. Determined to uncover the truth about his body and past, he steps onto the cultivation path. As upheaval erupts in the underworld, ghosts and gods wage chaotic war, and Chen Shi is drawn into conflicts between great clans, sects, and the imperial court. In the midst of power struggles and conspiracies, he clings to his original heart and principles. Step by step, he peels back the layers of the world’s lies, unearths the secret of his lineage and the real nature of the world itself, and finally faces a world-ending crisis—using his hard-won strength to stand against annihilation and carve out his own legend on the Great Dao.
