In the year 3272 of Jingyuan Dynasty, Yun Jingheng, a young man from a poor family in Lan'an City, awakened his soul from three hundred years ago in his bed. He was once the first disciple of Qingming Academy, and he witnessed the destruction of the Gewu Taoist tradition, his master was martyred, and his own spiritual core was destroyed and fell into time and space. Now he has returned to the mortal world. He has been oppressed in his family, and his spiritual orifice is blocked and has no foundation. In front of him is a dark world where conservative sects monopolize spiritual veins and hierarchies are like iron walls. Behind him is the legacy of the Taoist tradition that has not been completed for three hundred years.
Based on the legal principles contained in "The Investigation of Things and the Ming Dao" and the principles of conservation of heaven and earth, he used his mortal body to reopen his spiritual orifices, created a method of practice without any threshold, and broke the barriers of privilege for monks from aristocratic families. When he met his close friend Wen Zhiyu, he found his mentor Zhou Huaichuan, gathered disciples from poor families, and established the Ming Taoist Academy. He rebelled against fate by studying the study of things, and faced the encirclement and suppression of conservative alliances such as Tianyan Sect, gradually overthrowing the old monopoly of spiritual veins.
He cultivates spiritually to benefit the people, and spiritually builds the Tao. He and his colleagues gather forces from all directions and form alliances and conventions, so that cultivating immortals is no longer exclusive to aristocratic families. However, the spirit-devouring evil tide from outside the territory is suppressing the situation, and the truth about the collapse of the academy three hundred years ago is gradually revealed. The mastermind behind the scenes shows up with the power of the peak of falsehood. The law of conservation confronts the spirit-devouring magic, and the path of justice collides with the ambition of hegemony.
The green darkness of the past is shattered, but the law of the present is booming. Can Yun Jingheng use the method of studying things to protect the eight realms of Cangming, end the three hundred years of darkness, let spiritual energy benefit all living beings, and make the study of studying things and clarifying the way shine again in the heavens? A counterattack of cultivating immortality to break the situation with reason and bring peace to the world with Dao has begun.
