In the 327th year of the Jiuyào Calendar, the spiritual qi revival gave rise to the Three Enclosures World, made up of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Tianxu Domain, and the Youming Continent. Yet the "Primordial Chaos Qi," sealed away since ancient times, began corrupting the world, sparking a struggle between cultivation traditions, while the aristocratic faction known as the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets secretly stirred up trouble.
Lu Zhao, a poor young man from the northern frontier, sought to save his younger sister, who suffered from the Profound Yin Severed Meridians. In the ancestral shrine, he chanced upon a bronze compass inscribed with "Primordial Chaos Qi," which unexpectedly opened the path to cultivating all three meridians. After joining the Heavenly Crafts Workshop, he awakened the artifact spirit Su Wanqing while repairing the "Nine Heavens Jade Zither." She taught him the "Heavenly Sound Soul-Tempering Art" and helped him uncover the secret deal between the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and Fengdu Ghost City.
Later, Luo Qingyi, the Saintess of the Star-Lattice Palace, trapped Lu Zhao in the "Great Array of the Celestial Stars." Yet as they broke through the formation, they discovered their cultivation arts complemented each other, and joined forces to expose the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets' scheme to create a "false spiritual qi tide." To obtain the Scripture of Deliverance, Lu Zhao braved the Avici Hell and learned that the "Primordial Chaos Qi" was actually a mass of evil thoughts left behind by ancient cultivators.
In the final battle, Lu Zhao made himself a furnace, combining martial arts, talisman arts, and ghost arts to create the "Primordial Unity Dao." The bronze compass was in fact an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and it had chosen Lu Zhao to open the way into a new era. From a poor young man who only wanted to protect himself, Lu Zhao overcame countless hardships and grew into a hero who gave the world a reason to hope, writing a legendary tale of rising amid chaos and saving the world.
