“Flesh and blood are weak?” He grinned, golden flames rising in his prosthetic eye. “Then I’ll carve a road to the heavens out of these rusted bones!”
In Xintanyuan, an iron cage of a city squeezed breathless by giant corporations, even the right to breathe is a commodity, and flesh is expendable. Lin Jin, a scavenger from Bone Alley, has only one thing left that still shines: a military prosthetic eye he can keep running by paying with his life.
A disaster in a desperate moment, and blood splashing across an ancient jade, shatter a seal on a forbidden secret. A fragment of the long-lost Spirit Pivot Classic invades his nervous system like a deadly virus!
When cybernetic implants meet cultivation techniques:
His military prosthetic eye automatically maps his meridians like a blueprint;
His neural interface becomes a furnace for refining true qi.
A land of flesh and blood, and all its agonies, turns out to be fertile soil for spiritual roots!
When cold code collides with blazing true essence:
A swarm of corporate drones? With a flick of his finger, he summons a storm of metal, turning rusted iron into flying swords!
The Skynet AI’s firewall? His consciousness becomes a data blade, cleaving through virtual chaos!
Panshi Military Industries’ “War Ghost” mecha? His true qi roars within him as he battles forged steel with bare hands!
But he soon realizes the truth:
“Psionic energy” is no gift. The corporate system has marked it as a “critical vulnerability”: an ancient forbidden power! Changsheng Pharmaceuticals is extracting the souls of the awakened, while the Skynet AI imprisons a million consciousnesses...
From stealing a thread of electricity in a junkyard to temper his foundation, to forging an entire city’s power grid into his own life-bound treasure, every step on Lin Jin’s path to ascension shatters the corporations’ rules.
This is no longer about seeking immortality.
This is a declaration:
“My flesh and blood are neither expendable nor sacrificial offerings!
The cyber-cultivation frenzy rises against fate amid neon and rust!”
