After his grandfather’s death, Li Yifeng, a young man from Nanchu, unexpectedly obtained the legacy of the first controller of the Hongmeng Realm in a frigid pool in the Shennongjia Mountains. He learned the Ninefold Hongmeng Immortal Art and embarked on the path of cultivation. While studying at Kyoto University, he teamed up with Su Qingyue, a natural spiritual physique, and his friend Qian Xiaoyu. Together, they ventured into secret realms in the Kunlun Mountains, Huangshan, Mount Tai, Mount Heng, and elsewhere in search of the seven Hongmeng Spirit Pearls needed to unlock the Hongmeng Realm.
Along the way, they were repeatedly obstructed by evil cultivator forces such as the Black Wind Hall and the Mysterious Yin Sect. Relying on divine artifacts like the Hongmeng Sword and the Chaos Cauldron, as well as his skills in alchemy and formations, Li Yifeng steadily broke through the cultivation ranks, growing from a Foundation Establishment cultivator into a powerful fighter capable of standing against cultivators of the Fourth Turn. As the spirit pearls were gathered one by one, Li Yifeng drew ever closer to uncovering his origins and fulfilling the wishes of his Hongmeng predecessors. Meanwhile, a greater crisis involving the Hongmeng Realm and Earth’s cultivation world was quietly approaching.
