Lin Jinglan, son of an Immortal King from the Upper Realm, is reborn in the Lower Realm carrying a broken divine spear. He disguises himself as a menial disciple and keeps a low profile to survive.
He plans to endure and cultivate in secret, then return to the Upper Realm for revenge.
Until he witnesses a demonic cultivator sacrificing an entire city of mortals, and a fisherman's daughter smiles as she dies and asks, "Immortal, are we just like the stones by the roadside?"
That night, his Qingming Sword is drawn for the first time.
Later, he ascends with his spear and asks the gods and Buddhas filling the sky:
"If becoming an immortal means becoming a beast first, then I want no part of it."
"This shot isn't for the sake of immortality. It's to let even the ants of this world raise their heads and look at the sky!"
