An accident involving his university’s antiques club awakens a mysterious golden eye in ordinary college student Chen Yu, turning his life upside down. He identifies treasures and makes a fortune in the stone-gambling market, attracting the jealousy of the wealthy. The heiress Lin Yue falls for him, drawing him into the whirlpool of powerful families. When a third party interferes and assassins strike from the shadows, a master of ancient martial arts appears to turn the tide and leads him into the true world of the supernatural. Ancient martial arts are only the beginning; cultivating immortality is the ultimate goal!
Chen Yu learns that an ancient spiritual vein lies dormant beneath the city, and that his golden eye is the legacy of the Eye Sovereign, who fell ten thousand years ago. The Shadow Alliance seeks to drain the spiritual vein to power an array, while the Heavenburn Pavilion plots to seize it and rule the world. His former rival Liu Xuan has even fallen into demonic cultivation. With the power of the stars in his left hand to cleanse evil and a demonic eye in his right that devours spiritual energy and turns it to his own use, Chen Yu protects the balance between two worlds in the rift between technology and cultivation.
Lin Yue is actually the heir to the secluded Spirit Illusion Valley sect, and uses the Pure Heart Lotus to suppress the backlash from his demonic eye. The bold formation master Su Yao destroys her spiritual roots for his sake, while the gentle musical cultivator Ye Qingwan risks her life to help him turn the tables. From a bloody battle in a financial district skyscraper to slaying a dragon in the Northern Dark Sea, from closing a time-loop through a journey into the past to cultivating anew amid the mortal world, Chen Yu eventually uses his Reincarnation Golden Eyes to enlighten all living beings and establish a civilization powered by spiritual energy.
When he sheds his immortal bones and returns to campus, cherry blossoms drift outside the window. A faint golden glint flickers in the eyes of the young man beneath the lecture hall podium. The everyday bustle of the human world is the brightest thing beneath heaven.
