A Coder's Road to the Heavens

The story takes place in a parallel world. In a modern city woven from steel and neon, overworked programmer Liang Zhenyu comes from a humble background and spends day after day coding and cramming onto the subway. At thirty, he still has neither a home nor love. One night, while working overtime to maintain an old server room, he unexpectedly comes across a broken jade slip that enters his mind. Inside is the authentic cultivation legacy of Xuan Weizi, a supreme rogue cultivator: the Xuanwei Breath Circulation Method. It also comes with a small storage space, a cube measuring two meters on each side, containing a few spirit stones. From then on, he builds up businesses and wealth to meet the needs of his cultivation while quietly persevering in his pursuit of the immortal path. Amid the bustle of city life, he gains insight into the mortal world and absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Step by step, he transcends his mortal body, defies heaven's will to overcome one trial after another, breaks free of fate's chains, and passes through the gates of immortality.
