This is a world where cultivation civilization is highly developed, but the fundamentals have been forgotten. Everyone cultivates spiritual roots, introduces Qi into the body, and wields swords to fly to immortals. They regard physical cultivation without external force as barbaric and misguided.
Lin Ye, a five-element person who was pronounced "unable to draw Qi for the rest of his life", struggled to survive at the bottom of the sect. Until he was deep in the forbidden land and heard the whisper of the ten thousand-foot-long skeleton pierced by nine chains of chaos, spanning three thousand years:
"Little fellows of future generations... Did you know that the so-called 'spiritual energy' you refined is the bait sprinkled by the 'heretics' that are parasitic in this universe?"
"Did you know that humans once crossed the starry sky with their bodies and smashed the stars with their fists, without borrowing any power from heaven and earth?"
"Did you know that the Jue Meridian that you fear is our body cultivation... The purest 'Ancient Holy Body'?"
