Cyber Cultivation Begins with Implanting a Forbidden Spirit Root

Beneath neon lights, flying swords are supersonic cruise missiles, while at the tops of skyscrapers, immortals are corporate magnates who control computing power. This is an age when technology has twisted the path of cultivation. Spiritual roots can be bought on credit, and lifespans have a set price.

Li Mo transmigrates into a junkyard in the lower city, where a countdown to his death by "organ reclamation" awaits him from the start. At the brink of life and death, he unexpectedly activates the Eye of All Things Analysis and digs a "forbidden spiritual root" out of a garbage heap: the true Seed of Chaos, an ancient cultivation-world relic sealed away by modern technological civilization!

"Your cyborg firewall has a loophole. I'm in." "Your golden core reactor's parameters are too low. I'll overclock it for you." "The Heavenly Dao? That's just a supercomputer that's been running for a million years, and I'm the only virus."

From an unregistered nobody in the slums to the "mechanical heretic cultivator" who makes the corporate magnates tremble, Li Mo steps over countless cybernetic corpses, fighting his way through all twelve levels of the floating city. At last, he stands atop the torrent of data and announces to the entire universe: "My fate is mine to decide, not heaven's, and certainly not code's!"
