Ling Yun was once the most outstanding cultivator of his sect, two thousand years ago. He traveled across the universe with his master, Xuanjizi, for nearly a century, witnessing cultivators who could blot out the sky with one hand and technological civilizations capable of blasting planets apart with a single shot. By the time he returned, his home planet had suffered a catastrophe and its spiritual energy had run dry. The world entered an age without cultivation, and his master used his life to implant a supreme innate spiritual treasure in Ling Yun before he was sealed in a rift in space and time.
Two thousand years later, modern geological disasters break the seal, and Ling Yun awakens. As the only person capable of cultivation, he faces an unfamiliar world of technology. While restoring his powers and investigating the truth behind the catastrophe, he draws on both cultivation and technology to forge ahead in an age without cultivation.
