Luo Yuan, once the chief scientist at a national defense research institute, transmigrates into the lowest-ranked laborer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
With his dantian shattered and all his cultivation lost, he will be expelled from the sect if he cannot pass the examination in ten days.
Others cultivate by comprehending the Dao. He cultivates through physics.

Later, he discovers the truth about the Heavenly Dao...
