In 2026, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse, the "Kyushu Restriction" that covered the earth for 3,700 years quietly broke, and spiritual energy swept the world like the ebbing tide returning.
Lin Fan, an ordinary urban youth, awakened from the unexpected resonance of the ancestral compass "fixed astrolabe" on New Year's Eve and became one of the first cultivators in the era of spiritual energy recovery. But he soon discovered that this recovery was not a natural reincarnation - there were man-made shadows left in the damaged traces of the ban; strange events occurred one after another in the city's leyline nodes; the ancient cultivation inheritance and the power of modern science and technology were fiercely competing in the dark; and the obscure last words of his grandfather, "The horse meets the spring, the earth's veins awaken, and the ban is broken, and hundreds of ghosts travel" are being fulfilled one by one with each extraordinary event.
From the ancient cave in the depths of Qingyan Mountain to the hidden secret realm of Kunlun Ruins; from the secret battle of spiritual consciousness in the urban financial battlefield to the life and death struggle in the deep sea spiritual vein mining area. Holding an astrolabe in hand, Lin Fan walked step by step in the new world where technology and metaphysics intertwined: he used algorithms to optimize exercises, used material science to reinterpret elixir recipes, built a network of spiritual consciousness on the Internet, and even cooperated with the national "Anomaly Phenomenon Response Bureau" to formulate rules for a new era of cultivation civilization. However, as one's cultivation deepens, the truth becomes more and more frightening - the so-called "spiritual resurgence" is actually a civilized experiment that spans ten thousand years; the "hundred ghosts" are not monsters, but forbidden and sealed alien existences that are eyeing human civilization; and the real function of the astrolabe that guides the direction is not to find spirits and pulses, but... A key.
