Three hundred years in the future, martial arts and machinery merge, meridians can be embedded with energy chips, and weapons can harness the power of star cores. The dragon seal of the Daqi Dynasty was stolen, the emperor died suddenly, the governors of the eighteen states supported their troops, and the world fell apart. The deposed prince has been dormant in a cold prison for three years, with half of the "Xuan Jia Meridian" embedded in his body, hiding the fragments of the lost martial arts "Zi Chen Jue".
On the night when the dragon seal was stolen, the memory of all members of the Imperial City's Forbidden Army was erased, and the only clue pointed to the disappeared "Shadow Guard Camp". Strange murders occurred one after another in eighteen states, and the meridians of the deceased were extracted and turned into energy crystals. The deposed prince escaped through a prison robbery, disguised himself as a wandering doctor, and sneaked into the undercurrent of Shenjing.
He discovered that behind the theft of the dragon seal was the mysterious organization "Black Abyss" that spanned the court and the rivers and lakes. This organization uses machinery to transform martial arts in an attempt to subvert the dynastic order. The powerful ministers who framed him, the seemingly loyal guards, and even the disappeared emperor's brother are all inextricably linked to the "Black Abyss".
As the investigation deepens, the old injuries under the mechanical prosthesis, the backlash of energy meridians, and the ubiquitous pursuit make him difficult to move forward. What's even more frightening is that he discovers that his existence is part of the "Black Abyss" plan. While uncovering the truth, he must collect the entire volume of "Purple Chen Jue" and integrate the Xuanjia Meridians in order to recapture the Dragon Court and put an end to the conspiracy sweeping the world.
