In the eastern reaches of Nanzhan Buzhou lies a cultivation world filled with mystery and danger. Sixteen-year-old Lu Yunchuan is caught in a bloody catastrophe in Qingshi Village. The village is surrounded by zombies, and the Corpse King appears. Amid the disaster, Lu Yunchuan awakens the mysterious Houtu bloodline and gains the special ability to manipulate time. Rescued by the white-haired elder Xuan Jizi, he escapes Qingshi Village and sets out on the path of cultivation toward Qingyun Sect.
At Qingyun Sect, Lu Yunchuan displays extraordinary strength thanks to his chaotic bloodline and unique cultivation techniques, gradually making a name for himself. He repeatedly defeats his rivals in the Martial Hall while secretly training in the Houtu Body Tempering Art and the Fragmentary Wu Clan Body Tempering Manual, steadily growing stronger. But Qingyun Sect is not as peaceful as it seems: spies from the Netherworld Cult are lurking within, waiting for their chance to strike.
As the story unfolds, Lu Yunchuan grows through one adventure after another and gradually uncovers the secrets of his origins. He learns that his mother, Lin Wan, was once a holy maiden of the Houtu clan, while his father was descended from the Zhurong clan. To protect him, they entrusted him to Xuan Jizi of Qingyun Sect. His bloodline is closely tied to fragments of the Chaos Pearl, and he bears the responsibility of restoring reincarnation and saving the world.
On his path of cultivation, Lu Yunchuan must face both the Netherworld Cult's pursuit and the complicated power struggles within Qingyun Sect. With his wit and courage, he repeatedly escapes danger and keeps pushing beyond his limits.
