Tianxuan Continent is a vast ancient world. There are billions of mortals, millions of warriors, and only a few thousand monks.
The ways of cultivation in the world are divided into two levels - the martial way and the immortal way.
Martial arts is the path of mortals. Tempering the body, forging the bones, unblocking the meridians, condensing the Qi, and transforming the energy, the five realms are advanced step by step. Those who practice to the extreme can break stones, crack monuments, fly over eaves and walk on walls, and they are already at the pinnacle of the mortal world. However, no matter how strong the martial arts is, it is still the power of the physical body. He will not live longer than a hundred and five years, and will be covered in loess after death.
The immortal way is the way beyond the ordinary world. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cleansing the marrow and cutting away the hair, building the foundation, forming the elixir, forming the Nascent Soul, transforming into the spirit... Every step is a rebirth. A novice monk can crush a martial arts master with one palm, and his lifespan can easily last hundreds or thousands of years. But the threshold for immortality is extremely high - it requires spiritual talent, which is rare among ten thousand; and the spiritual energy is thin, resources are scarce, and the battles are fierce.
There is an invisible gap between the two. In the eyes of monks, the peak martial artist is just a slightly stronger ant.
On this continent, the world of martial arts and the world of cultivating immortals exist side by side, but they are separated from each other. Mortal towns have martial arts schools, gangs, and aristocratic families; monks are immortal sects entrenched in famous mountains and rivers, and rarely set foot in the world of mortals. The vast majority of mortals have never known the existence of monks throughout their lives, and only regard the legends above the clouds as nothing more than fairy tales.
The story of Gu Yue, a junior high school chemistry teacher who accidentally transported his soul to another world during an experiment, grew up in a miserable state, and struggled to survive begins at the bottom of the martial arts world.
