The Divine Man of the City

The Dharma-Ending Age has come, and the path of cultivation was severed long ago. The Three Sovereigns sealed the cultivation arts themselves, for reasons no one knows. After Qin Shi Huang died, he suppressed the destiny of humanity, waiting for someone capable of breaking the deadlock.

Guo Feng, a warehouse manager at a shoe factory, spent fourteen years meditating without success. Inspired by a coworker’s remark about “chaos,” he stumbled into the world of cultivation. With no techniques, inheritance, or resources, he nourishes spiritual energy with chaos, builds his first fortune by picking up bargains at street stalls, meets Su Xiaoxuan, the owner of Qingyu Jewelry, through acupuncture with golden needles, and carves a lost talisman formation into a rosewood plaque.

From a rented room in an urban village to the jadeite trade fair, from a fragmentary Daoist text to the depths of Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum, he takes one step at a time along a cultivation path unlike any before.

What he doesn’t know is that under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are mere straw dogs. And the only power not bound by the Heavenly Dao is called chaos.

He is the only exception in this age, and humanity’s last hope.
