When a physics PhD transmigrates into a fantasy world, the laws of cultivation are rewritten.
Chen Nian, one of China’s leading physicists, unexpectedly transmigrates during a particle-collider experiment and becomes a good-for-nothing disciple of the Qingyang Sect, with his meridians shattered. In this world of cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak, being unable to cultivate means never having a chance to rise again.
But he discovers that the world’s “spiritual energy” is no mysticism. It is a higher-dimensional particle that can be observed, measured, and explained by the laws of physics. “Meridians” are simply the least efficient channels for energy. “Spiritual roots” are merely differences in resonance frequency. And “Foundation Establishment” is nothing more than an experiment in forming a resonant field.
While everyone else painstakingly cultivates the Qingyang Qi Refining Art, he identifies twenty-seven design flaws and helps a good-for-nothing with four spiritual roots advance two levels in three days.
While everyone else fights over Foundation Establishment Pills, he builds a “spiritual energy resonance matrix,” establishes his foundation without a pill, and shocks the entire sect.
While the great cultivators seclude themselves in blessed grotto-heavens, he builds the first “spiritual energy particle-collider secret realm,” mass-producing Nascent Soul cultivators.
The traditional cultivation world is furious: “This man’s path is a heresy!”
Chen Nian merely pushes up his nonexistent glasses and writes an equation for spiritual energy on the blackboard:
“My path isn’t wrong. Your understanding of this world is just still stuck in the primitive age.”
“Now, welcome to the age of scientific cultivation.”
