Lin Xuan, a decent young man who has just graduated from college, dies after being hit by a truck while trying to save someone. When he opens his eyes again, he has become a member of a small cultivation clan.
On the day he turns sixteen, he undergoes a spiritual root test. Though he is found to have spiritual roots, they are a false set containing all five elements. The only unusual thing is that all five elements are perfectly balanced, making cultivation twice as difficult. Just as he is about to lose hope, he discovers that the heirloom bead from his family has come with him to this world.
After looking into it, he learns that the bead is one of the famous Dinghai Divine Pearls.
From then on, he sets off to travel the myriad heavens and collect all thirty-six Dinghai Divine Pearls.
