Taoist Cangwu, an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, failed to survive the tribulation, and his soul traveled through the cyberpunk world.
There is no aura here, only prosthetics and data; there is no cause and effect here, only algorithms and capital.
The great monk who used to change the color of mountains and rivers with a wave of his hand is now trapped in the body of a dying slum boy, surrounded by cold machines, numb souls, and the super-corporation "New Eden" that monopolizes everything.
When the world uploaded its consciousness, replaced flesh and blood, and regarded "mechanical ascension" as the ultimate salvation, Taoist Cangwu sensed the last faint spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this desolate wasteland.
He refused to be transformed, and used his physical body to introduce Qi into his body, and reopened his Dantian amidst the roar of guns and electrons.
This is the ultimate showdown between "Tao" and "Code" - when the civilization of cultivating immortals encounters the Kingdom of Science and Technology, who will truly ascend?
