The story begins when Zhang Xiaoming transmigrates into a game world where death is inevitable. While taking shelter behind a boulder, he runs into an old man who is hiding there too.
"I'm about to die."
The old man panted as he spoke. "You and I are fated to meet. You wear no accessories from any other sect, and there isn't a trace of attachment between your brows. You seem like a rootless wanderer. As luck would have it, if you join my sect and call me Master, I'll teach you how to escape!"
Zhang Xiaoming immediately dropped to his knees and bowed. "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
"Good. Remember these two names: Pu Junya and Lin Miaoyin. Listen carefully! Both women are brilliant and stunningly beautiful, and they've long been called the hidden dragon and young phoenix. If you can get either one of them, you can bring peace to the world!"
"Then how do I get them?"
"There's a perfect opportunity right now. Though the two are known as peerless beauties, their flaw is that they're far too arrogant. As it happens, they both just perished in an explosion! Only their souls remain, sealed inside boxes! You can carry both of them with you!"
"..."
And so began the adventure of a young man carrying the urns of two hidden dragons and young phoenixes.
