The Horrible Road to Immortality: Strange Tales of Rules

The Heavenly Dao has collapsed, and spiritual energy is poisoned. Cultivation techniques have mutated into bloody rule-based anomalies, turning the pursuit of immortality into a fatal pact with the uncanny. Nan Pingwen, a lowly menial disciple of the Qingxuan Sect with a false spiritual root, was destined to live a mortal life. However, on the brink of death, he awakens the "Eyes of Paradox"—a mystical vision capable of perceiving logical fissures within absolute rules. Inside the mystic mirror realm, he exploits a time paradox through the eyes of others; in the tranquil ancient village, he uses himself as bait to rewrite village rules and cheat death; within the scripture hall, he bypasses three treacherous techniques to unearth a wordless heavenly book, embarking on a bizarre path of immortality where he uses his own body as ink to write the rules. As those who follow the rules become puppets and those who break them turn to ash, only those who walk the razor's edge of the rules can find a glimmer of survival. Nan Pingwen exploits system loopholes to forge his path to longevity, only to discover that the descent of anomalies is merely an ultimate screening process at the twilight of the Heavenly Dao—and he has already become the chosen glitch itself. "Rules are dead, but logic is alive."
