Synopsis

In a cultivation world where spiritual energy has run dry, the land has become radioactive wasteland after an ancient war between immortals and demons. Cultivators must wear gas masks and rely on “spirit-core batteries” to power their magical artifacts. Mortals can have “artificial spiritual roots” implanted through genetic modification, but the success rate is only five percent.

Lin Jin is an “ancient tomb restorer” who excavates the tombs of ancient cultivators to recover damaged cultivation techniques. But he must contend with the “resentment fiends” left behind in the tombs, monsters formed from the fusion of ancient cultivators’ divine senses and artificial intelligence.

Cultivators must first cultivate the “death meridians,” simulating death to reduce their consumption of spiritual energy, before awakening their “life apertures.” The stages are:

Withered Wood (feigning death and hiding one’s presence) → Rotting Soil (reconstituting the body) → Emberfire (burning lifespan for a burst of power) → Nirvana (a sudden insight at the brink of death).
