In the Age of Dharma Ending, spiritual energy is exhausted, practitioners are struggling, and spiritual root qualifications become the yardstick by which everything is measured.
Zhao Chen, from Qingshi Town in the west border, was judged to be a "waste spirit root" because he was still unable to draw Qi into his body at the age of sixteen, and became the laughing stock of the whole town. My father disappeared for three years, leaving only a silent ancient jade and a vague instruction.
When the deacon of the Qingfeng Sect came with an oppressive "consecration" request, and when the fist of the evil boy in the town shattered his last dignity, the ancient jade suddenly awakened, and a mysterious method called "Spirit Devouring Art" suddenly unfolded in his consciousness - this method can actually swallow the aura of others, refine the aura of all things, and use it for himself!
The shackles of the waste spirit root were broken, and Zhao Chen rose up step by step amidst ridicule and pursuit, only to discover that this ancient jade hid a greater secret: the depletion of spiritual energy was not a natural law, but the aftermath of the ancient "Heavenly Seal"; his father's disappearance was closely related to the legendary "three keys" that could tear apart the seal; and the "Spirit Devouring Art" he relied on to counterattack was actually regarded by major forces as "the source of destruction."
From the humble struggle in Qingshi Town, to the exploration of secret realms across the four domains, from the intrigues of sect games, to the life and death choices of the rise and fall of races, Zhao Chen holds the power of devouring souls, and amid the reputation of "trash" and the expectation of "savior", he uncovers ancient secrets one after another.
When the shadow of the world-destroying demon infiltrates from the cracks in the seal, and the rules of heaven intertwine with the desires of the human heart, he will eventually face the ultimate choice: should he become the key to breaking the seal and perish with the world? Or should he embark on an unprecedented path against fate and let the depleted spiritual energy regain new life in his hands?
