The protagonist, Ye Chen, was an ordinary college student. While complaining about updates to the manga "Shrouding the Heavens", he was struck by a bolt of purple lightning. His soul became bound to the strongest evolution System in all the heavens, and he transmigrated into the universe of "Shrouding the Heavens".
As soon as he arrived, he found himself inside an ancient bronze coffin, sent to the Big Dipper Star Domain alongside familiar faces like Ye Fan and Pang Bo. In this perilous world, Ye Chen used the marrow-cleansing pill from the System's beginner's gift pack to improve his constitution, unlock the basic breathing technique, and embark on the path of cultivation.
During their escape, Ye Chen killed a green-scaled snake and completed a temporary quest, earning vitality points and the beginner-level movement technique Wind-Walking Steps. After reaching a deserted village, he noticed many strange things. The old man's identity was shrouded in mystery, and the ancient well and altar behind the mountain held secrets. He also unexpectedly obtained a damaged vessel for the Former-Word Secret: a bronze bell.
When strange movements stirred in the well and a shadow appeared behind the mountain, the System presented Ye Chen with a choice quest. He chose to save an old man named Wu and received a mysterious gift pack. He later learned that the old man had once guarded the village, and obtained items from him, including the basic Body Tempering Art, the Blood-Relocation Technique.
In this fantastical and unpredictable world of "Shrouding the Heavens", Ye Chen will fight alongside his companions with the System's help, seek powerful inheritances such as the Nine Secrets, uncover the mysteries behind the deserted village, and overcome one obstacle after another as he strives to become the strongest under the heavens. His thrilling adventure has only just begun.
