Zhang Feng, an orphan from Qingfeng Village, happens upon an ancient book bearing the character “Xuan” through a stroke of fate and sets out on the path of cultivation. With an unyielding heart, he breaks through the Three Realms of Mortality and enters the cultivation world, tempering himself through realms such as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Nascent Soul. He comprehends the twin laws of the Void and Protection, becoming a core leader of the Righteous Alliance and spearheading the fight against the chaotic evils.
At the peak of the Void Refining stage, he activates an ascension talisman at the Kunlun Celestial Palace and descends into the Fallen Immortal Abyss of the Immortal Realm. But his powers falter when he struggles to adapt to its laws, leaving him caught in an age of turmoil where immortal bandits and evil creatures run rampant. Guided by the ancient book and drawing on the strength he built in the cultivation world, he fends off attacks and completes nine rounds of tempering by the laws, forging a body of law and steadily advancing toward the Integration stage.
From ruler of the cultivation world to leader of the Righteous Immortal Alliance in the Immortal Realm, Zhang Feng never abandons his original resolve: “Protect all living beings and bring about unity across the universe.” With the legacy of the ancient people and such treasures as the Primordial Sword, he turns the tide again and again in the war between immortals and chaos, fusing laws and refining his own miniature world. In the end, he confronts the Chaos Overmind, transforming from an ordinary orphan into a Dao Lord who commands the very origin of the universe.
The rhythm of cultivation conforms to the logical structure and can be used as a reference for the theme of novels about cultivating immortals. Bagua and Wuqinxi are well introduced.
