In a world overwhelmed by the Five Turbidities, evil spirits run rampant, false Buddhas walk among mortals, and the righteous path has vanished...
With flaws in the Heavenly Dao, a thousand arts and countless true techniques have all become terrifying heretical scriptures.
Those who cultivate them suffer the Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings at best, losing limbs and years of their lives.
At worst, they suffer cultivation deviation and become indescribable monsters and demons!
Fortunately, Chen Mian awakens the Divine Ability of [Enlightenment], allowing him to turn the negative effects of any martial art, treasure, or elixir into positive ones!
The stronger the negative effect, the greater the benefit.
From then on, Chen Mian embarked on a cultivation path unlike any other.
Others cultivate the demonic art [Undying Heavenly Demon Body], which requires swallowing molten gold, iron, and copper to get started. One careless mistake, and their guts burst, turning them into monsters!
But when Chen Mian cultivates it, merit protects his body, and golden light shines all over him. He looks like a Buddha descending into the world, a born sage.
The Heavenly Palace's secret scripture [White Lotus Scripture of the Descent], once comprehended, turns its cultivator into a potent White Lotus elixir for the 'Mother of No Birth.' It plants a demon seed in the heart, and upon reaching mastery, the cultivator is sure to be drained dry!
But when Chen Mian cultivates it, he traces it back to its source and turns the tables, comprehending its true form. He sits upon a lotus throne, impervious to all evil!
The military secret art [Seven Limits of Heaven Swallowing and Earth Shattering], the immortal inheritance [Great Celestial Immortal Art]...
All kinds of divine arts and secret scriptures once unmatched in the world have become terrifying heretical arts that others are desperate to avoid. But!
If others dare not cultivate it, I will!
If others dare not claim a demonic weapon, I will!
Years later, having gathered countless divine arts, Chen Mian sits high in the Celestial Palace, surrounded by radiant divine light...
Looking upon this world of the Five Turbidities, this land overrun with monsters and evil spirits, he speaks with the authority of Heaven, and his words become law:
"This wicked world must be cleansed!"
In an instant, evil spirits in every direction vanish into dust!
