Origin Runes of All Things: Stars Fall on Xing Shu City

The story is set mainly in an international metropolis powered by spiritual energy and technology. Skyscrapers blend in a striking way with ancient buildings featuring upturned eaves and bracketed roofs. The skies are shared by drones and cultivators flying on swords, while the city’s transport network includes both maglev trains and public teleportation arrays. Spiritual energy replaces electricity as the basic energy source. Spiritual energy networks, phones, and cars are commonplace. Developed under the direction of the Xiling Mo Clan, the technology combines runes and formations with modern science. Ordinary people know that cultivators exist and see them as society’s elite. The cultivation world follows its own rules, with order maintained by the Tianshu Pavilion and its affiliated groups. It lies hidden within the city’s blessed realms and the secret domains of powerful clans.
