Ling Zhu, a modern man, traveled through the wilderness and became an inconspicuous nine-section bamboo. Living in a dangerous world full of golden immortals and rampant Daluo, he worked hard for five hundred years to root his spiritual veins, endure the catastrophe and transform into a heavenly immortal. He also broke through the ancient formation to obtain the ultimate innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Electric Hammer. He successively realized the innate formation path and the art of refining weapons of Dayan, and steadily accumulated strength.
By chance, he met and discussed Taoism with the leader of Tongtian who had not yet become a saint. His words "Everything has a glimmer of hope" solved the mystery and helped Tongtian establish Jiejiao and attain the sainthood. Ling Zhu became the leader of the Jie Cult by mistake, and was given the Qingping Sword. He went to Kunlun to listen to the saint's sermons, and created his own Jinmu Tao and Qi techniques, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
At this time, Nuwa had just created mankind, the Three Pure Ones had successively established religions and became saints, and the two Western Saints had vowed to attain enlightenment, and the prehistoric situation had suddenly changed. Ling Zhu joins hands with Xuandu to travel through the world, and becomes acquainted with the first generation of humans. On the eve of the catastrophe of the Lich and the storm of becoming a god, he rises against the odds with an ordinary bamboo body, and fights for his own path to immortality in the sage chess game.
