What kind of “outlier” will emerge when scientific logic collides with fantastical immortal arts, and an engineer's precise blueprints challenge a cultivator's supreme talismans?
Lin Xiu, a modern prodigy who is both a martial artist and an engineer specializing in mechanical and electronic engineering, is swept into a world of immortals during an experimental accident. Here, spiritual energy is the pulse of heaven and earth, sects stand everywhere, and the strong rule. Yet fate plays a cruel joke on him: he is one in a million, born with a “severed meridian constitution” that makes him incapable of sensing spiritual energy and cuts off his path to immortality.
Just as everyone treats him like a joke and an insect, convinced he can do nothing but struggle to survive at the bottom, Lin Xiu chooses a thorny path no one has ever taken. If the immortal path is beyond reach, he will create divine engineering himself! If heaven and earth reject him, he will turn his own body into a furnace and forge the universe!
He uses modern physics to crack the sect's formations, ergonomics and martial arts to overpower body cultivators, and meticulous logic to see through illusions and inner demons. While other cultivators meditate and draw in energy, he calculates the most efficient ways to convert it. While they study sword techniques and spells, he analyzes the fundamental energy circuits in talismans. With his own ingenuity, he turns an ordinary mortal body into a precision “killing machine” capable of matching gods and demons.
But his astounding achievements also bring endless danger. Jealousy from his fellow disciples, suspicion from the elders, ruthless suppression by conservative factions, and a shocking secret hidden deep within the sect, apparently linked to an ancient mechanical civilization... Every step he takes is like walking along a blade's edge.
Can an ordinary man with no spiritual roots survive in this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak?
