After transmigrating into the cultivation world, Fang Xian becomes an unconnected menial disciple with only the third level of Qi Refining. From the start, he's caught up in a shocking conspiracy to destroy his sect.
No talent? No cultivation arts? No backing?
Fang Xian isn't worried in the slightest. As a seasoned STEM guy, he decides to give this backward cultivation world a little taste of industrial shock. No surging spiritual energy?
He uses "Extreme Yin Explosive Salt" with an array formation to hand-build the cultivation world's first spiritual-energy V8 turbocharged engine!
The enemy's flying swords are too fast?
He pulls out a "Six-Barrel Spirit-Delivering Requiem Cannon (Gatling Gun)," forged from otherworldly meteorite iron, and gives cultivators a taste of a metal storm firing 3,600 rounds per minute!
Their protective astral energy can't be pierced?
Try ten-thousand-year Gengjin armor-piercing high-explosive rounds. They break through defenses with physics, the perfect cure for all those flashy tricks! And so the cultivation world's style goes completely off the rails.
While other geniuses are still struggling to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Fang Xian is making the eight-hundred-year-old demonic patriarch who failed to possess him do calculus in his sea of consciousness and serve as the fire-control radar for his mecha.
When an undercover Nascent Soul monster tries to blow up the grand array, Fang Xian has already bamboozled him with "materials mechanics" and secretly reversed the array's polarity, waiting for the old monster to blow himself up.
Then one day, Fang Xian, clad in a heavy exoskeleton mecha made of riveted steel, blasts apart the Nine Heavens tribulation lightning...
Fang Xian: "Cultivation? To hell with cultivation! Sir, times have changed. Caliber is justice, and everything within range is truth!"
