In the vast world called "Nine Heavens and Linghuan", spiritual energy was once the source of nourishment for all things. However, after the ancient catastrophe, the spiritual veins of heaven and earth were damaged, and the spiritual energy became increasingly thinner, entering the "Age of Ending Dharma". The road to spiritual practice has become increasingly difficult, the competition for resources is extremely cruel, and the inheritance of Taoism has often been interrupted.
Young Zhu Ming, carrying the "Yang Yang Spiritual Root" that had long been recognized as a waste vein, struggled to survive in a small border town. He accidentally found a broken jade slip containing strange ashes. From then on, he embarked on a completely different path of cultivation - absorbing thin spiritual energy, refining the residual charm of all things, turning decay into magic, and rekindling the prairie fire in the spiritual ashes.
The girl Han Mei, who comes from a declining cultivation family and possesses a rare "Xuanyin Spirit Body", is forced to become a bargaining chip in a marriage between major factions in order to save the fate of her family. She looks cold and weak on the outside, but is tough and unyielding on the inside. She quietly practices the lost ancient forbidden technique in a desperate situation, and uses the spiritual patterns on her fingertips to secretly weave the web of fate.
When a boy who was considered a loser unexpectedly met a girl who couldn't help herself, one of them refined ashes to become a Taoist and counterattacked step by step; the other mastered forbidden laws and calculated all the secrets of heaven. In this apocalyptic world where spiritual energy is exhausted and the weak are preyed on by the strong, how will the two of them work together to fight their way through the cracks between thousands of sects, reveal the truth of the ancient catastrophe, break the haze shrouding the world, and finally reignite the glory of Jiuxiao Linghuan?
