Ashes of Longing

A Bodhi tree in the Gu family temple houses the spirit of a Bodhi immortal. I warn Gu Yanzhi that if the tree is destroyed, I will vanish. Treasured and protected, the tree is eventually burned due to a misunderstanding, shattering my powers. Ascending as a god, I’m forced back to the mortal realm by a mysterious woman—and uncover a divine secret linking Gu Yanzhi to the heavens themselves.
