The Old Ancestor Descends, and Blue Star Returns

Strong female lead + ensemble cast + cyberpunk cultivation + travel between two worlds + cultivation for all

After ascending from her tribulation, the ancestral cultivator Ling Yu is tricked by the Heavenly Dao into going to Blue Star. She must help Blue Star return to the Cangxuan Realm before she can attain divinity.

But reality turns out to be far more difficult than she expected.

Still, the word “retreat” doesn't exist in Ling Yu's dictionary.

What if no one believes that spiritual qi revival is coming?

Take the initiative, find the surviving cultivators, and establish the Xuan Sect for some “friendly” (martial) exchanges.

What if they believe in spiritual qi revival but worry ordinary people won't be able to withstand it?

Open a passage between the two worlds and invite the strongest healing cultivators to develop marrow-cleansing injections.

And what if, after barely surviving the initial chaos, celestial dew that can reshape the spiritual roots of mortals arrives alongside heavenly thunder?

The strongest support squad is here! Magic and technology join forces to build automatic lightning rods.

When modern technology comes to the cultivation world, where nothing has changed for millions of years:

The Qizhen Pavilion's advertisements are everywhere, across the Nine Heavens and Nine Abysses:

“Treasure Hunt App is now officially available on the Spirit Network! It has everything, with plenty of discounts. The first ten thousand fellow cultivators to download it will receive a spirit stone red envelope. First come, first served!”

Mystery realm expeditions now include livestreams:

“I'm taking on the challenge of capturing a Darkmoon Wolf alive. Fellow cultivators, tune in to my Spirit Stream. See you there!”

When an evil cultivator who has just emerged from seclusion tries to ambush someone the old-fashioned way, a disciple of the Taiyi Sect pulls out an Explosive Spirit Barrett and declares confidently:

“Wicked fiend, times have changed.”
