Young Ling Luoyu was born with the Nine Suns Veins, a unique gift that endowed him with extraordinary potential but also doomed him to not live past eighteen. Every noon, his body felt as if it were inside a furnace, the pain indescribable. Ling Luoyu is now sixteen, and this torment has accompanied him for six years.

Though he couldn't cultivate martial arts, he showed remarkable talent in literature, having read almost all the books in the manor's library. Three years ago, he discovered that the Lotus Sutra could alleviate his pain, so he recited it daily, finding solace in its wisdom and beauty.

However, Ling Luoyu's life was far from peaceful. One day, the steward Ling San brought him a mysterious sandalwood box, which contained the legendary Immortal Pass. The Immortal Pass appears once every hundred years, granting its holder a chance to enter the Immortal Tomb, a place fabled to offer eternal life but fraught with immense danger...

Ling Luoyu knew this might be his only chance to change his fate.
