Yang Kaiye, a good-for-nothing from the metaphysics department, accompanies his icy beauty of a cousin on a trip through time. When the time machine malfunctions, the two somehow end up at Kunlun Divine Palace ten thousand years in the past. To their astonishment, Professor Zhong Yue, whom they had been controlling from the outside, is also present at Kunlun Divine Palace. Professor Zhong tells them that Yang Kaiye's father is trapped in the Misty Forest. To save his father and protect Yu Feng, Yang Kaiye agrees to stay and cultivate at the palace. He possesses spirit stones, and the people of the palace recognize him as Kunlun Divine Palace's successor. Cultivation is hard, but with his cousin by his side, even hardship feels sweet. Later, with the Saintess's help, they escape the palace. Yu Feng loses her memories. Unable to accept this, Yang Kaiye clings obsessively to his cousin. At Gu Xingming's urging, Yang Kaiye is committed to a mental hospital. After many twists and turns, he finally uses his cultivation spells and spirit stones to contact a divine envoy from the palace. He restores his cousin's memories. To pursue Gu Xingming, he enters Kunlun Divine Palace again with his cousin. Gu Xingming repents, which strikes Yang Kaiye as strange. He takes the initiative and leads Yang Kaiye to his father. As a result, Yang Kaiye and Yu Feng both fall off a cliff, but their misfortune turns out to be a blessing: they find the real Kunlun Divine Palace. With the spirit stone, Yang Kaiye earns the Divine Master's approval and gains divine power. He also finds his father. He learns that the new god who harmed his father all those years ago was none other than Zhong Yue. At the Investiture Ceremony, however, Gu Xingming tells Yang Kaiye that he doesn't have long to live! It turns out the person behind Zhong Yue is Yang Kaiye's grandfather... After yet more twists and turns, Yang Kaiye finally masters divine arts, gains free passage between the human and divine realms, and begins his life with every advantage.
