When Shen Mobai, the strongest swordsman in the Age of Dharma, was knocked out of his wits by the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation when he was going through a tribulation, he woke up to find that he was reborn in a cyber world in 2077 where technology was highly developed and artificial intelligence controlled everything. He became a "waste" playboy abandoned by his family and heavily in debt.
In this era of depleted spiritual energy but overflowing data, he discovered that ancient cultivation codes are hidden in the data flow of human consciousness - the memory storage chip is the "sea of consciousness", the neural access interface is the "spiritual root", and the global data network is the "law of heaven".
Thus, an alternative path to immortality begins, with the code as the talisman, the algorithm as the mental method, the server as the cave, and the firewall as the barrier. Using his left hand to write code, he uses his right hand to wield a sword to kill chaebols. In the urban jungle of the steel forest, he will use the oldest cultivation rules to subvert this future world ruled by capital and AI.
