While gathering herbs in the mountains near Qingyan Town, ordinary youth Lin Yu unexpectedly comes across the supreme cultivation manual, The Spiritcloud Art. From then on, he embarks on a path of cultivation that defies the heavens. Through sheer determination, he draws spiritual energy into his body and reveals his extraordinary talent, knocking the bully Zhao Hu flying with a single palm and quickly making a name for himself. But this also attracts the covetous attention of a black-robed cultivator. At the brink of death, Lin Yu is rescued by Xuan Feng, an elder of the Qingyun Sect, and enters the sect. During his training as an outer disciple, Lin Yu stands out thanks to the unique qualities of The Spiritcloud Art, despite the envy and harassment of his fellow disciples, and masters spells such as Spiritcloud Sword Qi. While exploring a secret realm belonging to the sect, he unleashes the hidden power of his cultivation art to drive off a demonic beast and protect his companions. After overcoming countless trials, Lin Yu passes the inner disciple examination and rises against the odds on his path to immortality. More unknown challenges and opportunities await him.
