In the second installment of this xianxia series, Kai's gaining power and attracting attention, but can he keep juggling the lies without dropping the act?

Back in his old reality, Kai was a nobody going nowhere . . . except maybe the fridge for some snacks in between online gaming campaigns. But after an epic boss battle, he was thrown into an all-too-familiar world of skills, levels, and above all, the power of qi. And he proved himself to be pretty bada-s—as long as no one figures out who he really is.

Now, Kai and his companions have become disciples of the Azure Sky Sect. He's eager to learn everything he can in both battle and book smarts (or rather, scroll smarts) because he's already planning for his future. His awesome future, in which he's going to form his very own guild, gather ever increasing power and riches, and dare to reach the Qi Refining Realm aka the Foundation of Immortality.

Pretty cool, right? Unfortunately, while Kai's always ready to recognize his own potential, he's forgotten that others can recognize it in him too. And those others are seriously considering using him for their own selfish—and very possibly cataclysmic—world-dominating ends . . .
