Modern quantum researcher Xie Linyuan transmigrates into the Great Liang dynasty as a poor scholar.
He plans to use five thousand years of knowledge to rise through the imperial exams, but just after passing the provincial exam, he is oppressed by local gentry, thrown out of the examination hall, and nearly killed.
In troubled times, strength is all that matters!
By chance, he obtains the peerless manual Return to Origin Art. From a frail scholar, he quietly cultivates from the First Realm to Qi Nourishment, Astral Force, Subtlety, and finally the Heavenly Realm!
He enters officialdom by solving cases, starting as a lowly registrar. He cracks bizarre cases, catches the real culprits, and exposes conspiracies. In secret, he establishes the Wind Listening Tower and gathers martial arts experts, steadily amassing tremendous power.
The powerful bully him? He wipes out their entire families!
The emperor fears him? He takes direct control of the realm!
The martial world refuses to submit? They all bow and pledge allegiance!
Everyone thinks he is merely a powerful minister who cannot even kill a chicken, unaware that he is the only person in the world to have reached the Heavenly Realm!
From a humble hut to the heights of the Forbidden City, from a down-and-out scholar to a regent who holds the court in his grasp.
This realm and the martial world are mine alone to command, Xie Linyuan!
