Su Yan transmigrates to Qingyun Realm, where spiritual energy reigns supreme, but is cast out of a cultivation sect for lacking a spiritual root and branded a good-for-nothing. In a world where immortal sects lord over mortals and the Divine Court rules heaven and earth, he refuses to give in. Instead, he awakens the scientific knowledge of Blue Star in his mind and resolves to forge a completely different path. He teaches ordinary people to boil water to power steam engines, solving droughts and floods; lays black-iron tracks for steam locomotives to traverse mountains and rivers, breaking the flying-boat monopoly; and builds a communications network with radios, so information can no longer be controlled by message talismans.
While sword immortals mock mundane techniques as crude, Su Yan's rocket has already pierced the clouds and set its sights on the Celestial Court, leaving immortals and gods trembling in shock. His technological civilization rises rapidly, not only freeing mortals from their fate as ants, but also fusing spiritual energy with technology to create weapons capable of standing against immortals and gods. Faced with the Divine Court's envoys, the oppression of the Supreme Tai Bai, and the Celestial Lord's million-strong army, Su Yan joins forces with righteous cultivation powers such as the Qingyun Sect and the Bishui Pavilion to face off at Wangxian Terrace and stand firm amid the flames of war.
A war that will decide the fate of both mortals and the cultivation world has erupted, and the old order of hierarchy is on the verge of collapse. Can he lead everyone to repel the Divine Court's iron cavalry? Can the fusion of technology and spiritual energy usher in a new era? This transformation spanning the mortal, immortal, and divine realms has only just begun.
