A Strange and Turbulent World: One Day's Cultivation, One Year's Progress

After transmigrating into a chaotic world of dark arts, Lu Xuan finds himself surrounded by rampant wicked practices: the horrors of human-pill cultivation, the filth of essence harvesting, and the uncanny art of skin painting. Demons and monsters slaughter humans at will.

The Great Qing Dynasty is beset by troubles within and without. Amid war and chaos, bandits and rogue soldiers run rampant, while the people are driven from their homes and left to suffer.

The moment Lu Xuan wakes, he realizes he has been kidnapped. Before him stands an old Taoist whose very presence radiates an unnerving aura, the gloomy air of someone stained with the blood of countless victims. Clearly, he is a ruthless killer who wouldn't blink at taking a life.

The old Taoist demands that Lu Xuan master a martial art within three days, or die. Lu Xuan studies the art's description, takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and focuses. A moment later, he has mastered it?!

The old Taoist immediately uses his methods to try to control everyone, throwing them into a panic. But Lu Xuan is stunned to discover that one day of cultivation gives him what seems like a year of progress. The old Taoist's control techniques are as useless against him as an insect trying to shake a tree!

With cultivation speed that defies heaven, Lu Xuan rises like a comet, growing at astonishing speed. The eerie old Taoist, the demons and monsters who slaughter the living, and the wicked cultivators who practice dark arts all fall to him. Before long, no one in the world can match him, and his name becomes a symbol of both hope and fear in this chaotic age.
