In the 327th year of the Jiuyao Calendar, the revival of spiritual energy created the "Three Walled World" consisting of the Xuanhuang Realm, Tianxu Realm, and Netherworld Continent. However, the ancient sealed "Chaos Ancestral Qi" eroded the world, triggering a dispute among cultivators, and the clan power "Tianji Pavilion" secretly stirred up the situation.
Lu Zhao, a young man from a poor family in the northern border, accidentally found a bronze compass engraved with "Chaos Ancestral Qi" in his ancestral temple in order to save his sister who was suffering from the Xuanyin Jue Meridian, and unexpectedly started the journey of cultivating the three meridians. He joined Tiangongfang, and while repairing the "Jiuxiao Ring Pendant", the weapon spirit Su Wanqing awakened and taught him the "Tianyin Soul Forging Technique", and allowed him to discover the secret transaction between Qingyun Sword Sect and Fengdu Ghost City.
Later, Luo Qingyi, the saint of Xingluo Palace, trapped Lu Zhao with the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation", but the two discovered that their skills were complementary when breaking the formation, and then jointly uncovered Tianji Pavilion's conspiracy to create a "pseudo spiritual energy tide". In order to obtain the "Sutra of Overcoming Disasters", Lu Zhao bravely went to Abi Hell and learned that "Chaos Ancestral Qi" was actually the aggregation of evil thoughts of ancient monks.
In the final battle, Lu Zhao used his body as a furnace to combine martial arts, talismans, and ghosts to create the "Hunyuan Dao". The bronze compass is actually the incarnation of the way of heaven, and Lu Zhao is selected as the pioneer of the new era. From a poor boy who only wanted to protect himself, Lu Zhao went through countless hardships and obstacles and grew into a hero with a heart for the world. He wrote a legendary story of rising up in troubled times and saving the world.
