Lin Yan, a double PhD in condensed matter physics, accidentally transmigrates while studying his family’s ancient Hetu text late one night. He becomes the legitimate son of the declining Lin family in Qingyang City, in the Tianyuan Realm.
After three tests of his source seed, he is judged to possess the lowest grade, an inferior mortal seed. His entire clan mocks him as a born good-for-nothing, while a collateral branch schemes to seize power and enemies surround them. From the start, he is trapped in a desperate situation. But no one knows that he bears a dual-source sacred seed, one in ten thousand. The testing methods of this backward age simply cannot comprehend this supreme legacy, which accommodates both yin and yang qi.
The world believes that source seeds are bestowed by heaven and talent reigns supreme, confining itself within an incomplete cultivation system that uses only yang qi. Lin Yan, however, wields modern science to shatter the limits of conventional thinking: he uses Boolean algebra to dissect the Bagua runes, the laws of thermodynamics to derive the interactions of the Five Elements, and condensed matter physics to reconstruct the model of qi energy.
The ancient ancestor’s remnant soul, dormant for ten thousand years inside the Hetu jade pendant, awakens and guides him into the true path of dual-source qi, acting as both mentor and father. Starting from a small border city, he uncovers the secrets behind the fall of the ancient sacred clans and confronts the Xuanmen Sacred Sect, which monopolizes the world. He breaks the thousand-year shackles of talent and ultimately uses the power of dual sources to withstand the chaos calamity and ascend to the position of Dao Lord, opening a path of cultivation to all ordinary people!
