After graduating from college, Lin Chuan began to crumble under the weight of city life: job applications went nowhere, his girlfriend left him, his father fell gravely ill, and his debts piled up like mountains. Reality ground him into a corner, but he still refused to give in. On a hike to clear his head, he accidentally wandered deep into Yunling Mountain, where he triggered a stone gate sealed for a thousand years and entered the ancient cavern known as the Supreme Mystery Abode. Among the bones inside, he found a cultivation manual that taught him how to temper his body. At the brink of life and death, he used his mortal bones as a furnace and refined qi through physical training, rising anew from the ruins. The good-for-nothing of the past had become a cultivator capable of defying fate and changing his destiny. The mortal world was still close at hand. With a mortal heart, he would break through fate, wield immortal power in the world of mortals, and reshape his future.
