Li Mo is an ordinary engineering graduate student with no connections or resources, trapped in the grueling 996 work schedule of a corporate drone. His days are spent in the lab, writing code, and running experiments. He only wanted to scrape by and graduate, then find a steady job, but a mysterious ancestral jade pendant draws him into a world of cultivation hidden within the city.
An explosion grants him the legendary cultivation technique, the Nine-Dimensional Spirit Book. From then on, his world is turned upside down:
Spiritual qi? He can quantify and analyze it!
Runes and formations? He can model and optimize them with logic!
Alchemy and artifact crafting? He can take them to the next level with engineering!
When rational engineering meets the mysticism of cultivation, and a lab-bound corporate drone becomes a spiritual qi engineer, Li Mo carves out a path of his own through the cultivation world!
From campus to city, from runes to secret realms, from an unknown nobody to the pinnacle of power, he discovers that the secrets behind his origins are far more terrifying than the inherited technique. The old era has ended, and the tide of spiritual qi revival is sweeping across the world. He stands at the heart of the storm.
This is a thrilling tale of an engineering graduate student rewriting the rules of cultivation with scientific thinking, and an ordinary man rising up to defy fate!
