Chen Ping transmigrates into a high-martial world, becoming the frail young master of a prominent family in a county town.
Outside, feudal princes carve up the land and grandmasters defend the realm. Within, elder clansmen vie for power while gangs lurk all around.
As for him, he has mediocre physique and meager cultivation, with only strategies far ahead of their time in his mind and a [Martial Dao Heavenly Secrets System] capable of simulating every technique.
“Martial Dao reaches the heavens? Then I’ll use strategy as my ladder and climb to the very top.”
He purges his family through a “Ledger Scandal” and divides the county into rival domains with the “Qinghe Chessboard.”
He creates “contribution points” to recruit talented commoners and establishes a “School of Natural Philosophy” to bring together ingenious mechanisms and inventions.
While the lords across the land are still settling their disputes through grandmasters, he is already mass-producing warriors who can condense astral energy on an assembly line.
While the various overlords are still fighting over spirit stone mines, his “spirit energy engine” has already begun quietly changing the rules of the world.
From one county to thirteen provinces, from Meridian Opening to Martial Sage.
The Prince of Pingxi sees him as his greatest threat, while the Wolf Lord of the Northern Desert calls him “the Central Plains’ greatest schemer.”
What he holds in his hands is not a blade, but systems, the hearts of men, and knowledge beyond his time.
“This world is nothing but a much larger game of chess.”
“And it’s time for someone else to take the reins.”
