In the ninety-thousandth year of the Great Wilderness Calendar, spiritual energy has run dry, and turbid qi blankets the sky. Everyone considers turbid qi deadly poison and avoids it like the plague, terrified that even the slightest exposure will corrode their bones and burn their hearts. Only Li Yuan, who possesses the ancient treasure known as the "Gray Stone Bead," can draw turbid qi into his body and turn deadly poison into sweet nourishment as he cultivates the Nine-Turn Turbid Heaven Art, a technique abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.
He was once an outer disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, with mediocre aptitude and a life of constant bullying. But during a sect trial, he used the stone bead to expose the weaknesses of the beasts in Ten Thousand Demons Valley, hunted a third-rank Blazing Tiger, and seized a Firecloud Herb. He rose straight into the top ten of the Prodigy Rankings and entered the inner sect.
The world laughs at him for defying heaven, unaware that turbid qi conceals the legacy of ancient gods and demons, as well as the supreme opportunity to break through Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even ascend to immortality. The Heavenly Dao is dead, and the age of spiritual energy is over. Turbid qi alone will be the foundation of a new era.
Li Yuan stands atop Ten Thousand Demons Valley, gazing at the blood-red turbid mist filling the sky. A cold smile curls his lips. "You fear turbid qi as much as you fear death. I, on the other hand, will refine it into pills and forge it into a sword. The day I complete my Nine Turns will be the day I create a new heaven. I will be the Heavenly Dao."
