A corporate wage slave in his past life and an illegitimate son in this one, Lin Dao starts out on Hell Mode.
No dantian, so he can't cultivate? Bullied by others with no choice but to wait for death?
Then the Ziyun jade pendant, his mother's keepsake, undergoes a transformation and becomes the Heavenly Ruins Hall.
Now he has a dantian! He has an against-the-heavens cultivation method!
But before he can savor the surprise, a countdown to his death begins:
Three years to transform martial arts into the Dao, or his soul will be annihilated!
Everyone in Yunshan City calls him a good-for-nothing.
Lin Dao only smiles, then punches the martial arts testing stele to pieces.
Later, with those who once mocked him kneeling at his feet, he says softly:
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor young man!”
