Who says the city is all mundane affairs?
The protagonist, Xiao Tao, was an obscure, penniless student in the imperial capital. After an accident, he obtained the supreme cultivation legacy left behind by the Taixu Immortal Realm, the Everlasting Life Formula. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivation. With the pure spiritual power of an Immortal Emperor's legacy and the formidable body-tempering art of the Black Tortoise, he rose step by step in a city where spiritual energy had run dry.
He vowed to use this power to protect the one he loved above all else, his girlfriend, Xu Wanqing. However, Xu Wanqing possessed the extraordinarily rare Innate Fire Spirit Body, coveted by the secluded sect Xuantian Sect and targeted by the murderous scions of the city.
To save the woman he loved, Xiao Tao charged into the Demon-Sealing Cavern of Nanling, broke its formation with his bare hands, and challenged a seventh-level Qi Refining demon far above his own level! Using pill poison as a catalyst and Jade Lotus as medicine, he successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, then awed Xuantian Sect with his ability to refine pills from a distance.
But after he shattered the **"Main God's Remains"** beneath the Demon-Sealing Cavern, an even greater crisis descended: the spiritual qi revival erupted in full, awakening the "Ancient Survivors" (divine descendants) who had slumbered for thousands of years!
Faced with awakened hidden sects, mysterious ancient divine descendants, and the coming upheaval of heaven and earth, Xiao Tao must seize the initiative in the face of desperation!
His goal: to claim the opportunity to establish his Foundation before the countless sects and divine descendants, and become the only one moving the pieces in this "Age of Great Strife"!
