Wang Xiaogou of Chaoyang County is a good-for-nothing, stamped as such by the entire cultivation world. He has five spiritual roots, mixed and impure, and has been sentenced to death: "With five spiritual roots, you cannot become an immortal."
Everyone thinks he should spend his whole life washing dishes.
Until one day, a panel pops up in his sea of consciousness with a ding:
[Ding! The Ultimate Weapons Arsenal System. Unlock requirement: two thousand taels of silver.]
Others cultivate immortality through spiritual roots, teachers, and sudden enlightenment. He cultivates with an arsenal of guns.
Invisible drones for reconnaissance, laser guns for precision strikes, rocket launchers to carpet-bomb the ground, and divine cannons to blast mountain gates. While the great masters of the righteous path are still discussing the Dao on their flying swords, Wang Lin is already standing above them with a cannon on his shoulder. "That's it?"
The Sixth Princess calls him Wang Xiaogou, then ends up soul-bound to him and follows him everywhere. The aloof sword immortal draws her sword and enters the mortal world for his sake. The orphan of the Blood Fiend Sect follows at his heels with a blade, calling him "Alliance Leader Wang."
But his arsenal keeps growing. Gradually, he discovers that the so-called "five spiritual roots cannot lead to immortality" is nothing but a lie the Heavenly Dao uses to keep all living beings penned in. And the so-called lack of a path to ascension is just someone waiting in the heavens to reap cultivators' fruits of the Dao.
Then why cultivate immortality at all?
Wang Lin hefts his cannon, looks up at the sky, and grins:
"Whoever's doing the reaping, step forward."
"I've got an arsenal of cannons. Today, I'll blast a hole in the heavens."
