In the mysterious and vast cultivation world of the Central Province, realms of cultivation are like five formidable passes, each named a "Gate." From highest to lowest, they are the Heavenly Gate, Earthly Gate, Human Gate, Mystic Gate, and Yellow Gate. Legend says that those who cultivate the Mystic Gate can awaken a divine vein, and each Gate is divided into nine minor stages. Yet the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Gates are so transcendent that no one has seen them for ages. They seem no more than a distant myth.
Meng Yichen was born into a poor family. By a stroke of fate, he learned the mysterious technique The Immortal Art of Knocking on the Divine Gates from a copper-plate manuscript passed down by his ancestors. He awakened a divine vein without realizing it, and remained utterly unaware of what it meant. He was brimming with confidence and reckless in everything he did, always blaming others whenever he made a mistake. His face looked dull, but his eyes were clear and lively, with a quick-witted spark.
One day, when he couldn't resist showing off, five ill-intentioned senior disciples took notice of him and set a trap. His divine vein was brutally ripped out. In an instant, the spirited young genius fell to the depths of despair. Yet deep down, he had a stubborn refusal to give up. After struggling through his pain, he rekindled his fighting spirit and embarked on a determined path of cultivation and self-cultivation. Meanwhile, his relationships with his senior disciples were tangled in a constant mix of love and hatred. He stayed true to himself, remaining a fully realized person of flesh and blood who always stood by his principles.
After enduring countless trials, he unexpectedly awakened an even rarer Shadow Divine Vein. He then set out east, plunging into the turmoil of royal power struggles and struggling to survive amid the narrow spaces between opportunity and danger. There, he happened upon the original text of The Divine Knocking Art. His cultivation surged, and he advanced rapidly toward the Upper Three Regions, eventually becoming a supreme being in the highest heavens
