The story takes place in a mysterious world where the cultivation of knowledge and the pure land of merit are intertwined. The protagonist, Xingchen, is a young monk who was backlashed by the turbulence of time and space because of his exploration of the ancient "Celestial Rituals". His cultivation randomly switches between "perfect foundation building" and "no spiritual power", and he becomes the laughingstock of the sect. In order to stabilize his condition and explore the truth, he was forced to leave the sect and embark on a journey to collect information scattered at all levels of the "Gourmet Realm". In the realm of "Taste Enlightenment", he met Su Wan, a spiritual chef who enlightened Taoism through food and had a compassionate heart, and accidentally got involved in the murderous plot set up by his former Taoist couple "heartless fairy" Ling Shuang to cut off the last love, and the bloody dispute caused by "Elixir Hunting Medical Immortal" Mo Xuan to save the tribe. Xingchen relied on his sometimes good and sometimes bad cultivation and his unique understanding of "The True Record of Taichu Danhuo" to deal with all parties. He used the clues of the "Zhoutian Star Shifting Formation" and the mystery of the "Hongmeng Fortune Bead" to gradually uncover the truth about his own space-time disorder - which was related to the conspiracy of the ancient "omniscient" to try to tamper with the way of heaven and cause the collapse of the merit system. In the end, Xingchen did not choose to become an omniscient god or a benevolent saint. Instead, he used himself as the hub at the boundary between the "Taotie Divine Realm" and the "Ocean of Merits" to rebuild the balance between knowledge inheritance and merit circulation, and defined a new kind of social justice based on "information sharing" and "merit circulation".
