Xu Yunkai was the son of the lord of the Xu estate on Leizhou Island. But in the world of cultivation, his physical condition made it impossible for him to cultivate, and his family clansmen despised him for it. On the day of Xu Yunkai's thirteenth-birthday coming-of-age ceremony, the clan members joined forces to impeach him. His father knew that if he was no longer the lord of the Xu estate, both their lives would be in danger. With no other choice, and in order to save Xu Yunkai's life, his father painfully cast him out of the family.
Hearing his father's words and seeing the malice in everyone's eyes, Xu Yunkai's heart turned to ash. Step by step, he walked out of the Xu estate. He did not cry. When he reached the gate, he merely looked back once, then left. His heart was already dead. His mother was nowhere to be found, and now his father had cast him out of the family. Resentment rose in him. He hated the unfairness of Heaven, his mother's silent departure, and his father's heartlessness.

Xu Yunkai thought this would end his life, but to his surprise, a clap of thunder rang out, and a bolt of lightning struck him.
When Xu Yunkai awoke, he found a tiny tower floating in his dantian. From then on, he seemed to have entered cheat mode, stepping onto the path of cultivation
