Blue Star Calendar 2077, a hundred years since the spiritual energy has been revived. Hundreds of years of steaming spiritual energy did not create real Taoist cultivators everywhere.

From peace charms worth a few hundred yuan to disaster relief packages worth tens of thousands, they have harvested hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Metaphysics, which once solved people's doubts, has become a top business that creates anxiety and extracts money. People in the world are coerced by words and kidnapped by fear. They firmly believe that spending money can eliminate disasters, making offerings can bring blessings, and doing rituals can return karma. No one knows that the most fundamental rules of heaven have long been tampered with by capital and distorted by evil cultivators. The true Dao is never found in the incense of Taoist temples or expensive rituals, but only in the word "original heart". The original mind is the Tao, self-cultivation of merit, self-acceptance of good and evil, ten thousand gold is not worth one good deed, and one thousand offerings are not as good as one heart. Su Nan, who came from time travel, brought with him the Taoist scriptures of his previous life and the enlightenment of spiritual cultivation and understanding of the world.
