Lin Che, the Federation's youngest starship captain, is caught in a spatial turbulence while searching for strange stellar core crystals in the M-78 Nebula. His starship crashes in the cultivation world of Xuan Yuan Realm. On the brink of death, the Federation's "Origin" System in his mind unexpectedly activates. It not only analyzes this strange world filled with "spiritual energy," but also discovers that the "stellar source power" within the stellar core crystals can transform his originally inferior mortal-level mystic meridians.
Soon after arriving in this strange world, Lin Che is hunted by cultivators from Blackwind City. Using the combat techniques he learned at the Federation Military Academy and the cultivation knowledge urgently transmitted by the System, he turns the tables in this desperate situation. His transformed mystic meridians have astonishing potential, and with the System's scanning and analytical abilities, killing high-level demon beasts and breaking through cultivation bottlenecks becomes child's play.
Seeking a place to establish himself, Lin Che heads to Qingfeng Town to take part in the Azure Cloud Sect's recruitment. He unexpectedly tests as having a mutated metal spiritual root with 98% purity, but this also earns him the enmity of Zhao Hu, son of Blackwind City's lord, bringing a string of assassination attempts and undercurrents within the sect.
Bearing the secret of his starship's wreckage and a unique inheritance of stellar source power, Lin Che relies on the wisdom and courage of an interstellar pioneer to navigate the sect's rivalries, power struggles, and demon-beast-infested Xuan Yuan Realm. He must find a way to repair his starship and return to the Federation, while also forging a new path of cultivation with the power of the stars. In the end, he will grow from a fallen starship captain into a legendary Dao Lord who commands both the sea of stars and the mystic path.
