Cao Yun was originally a disciple of the inner sect of Cangxuan Sect. He inherited an ancient inkstone passed down from his grandfather. He thought he could cultivate steadily, but he did not expect that he would attract the covetous attention of Wei Yong, the third elder of the sect. Wei Yong teamed up with Cao Yun's senior brother Zhao Huaian to frame Cao Yun for violating the sect's rules. They publicly destroyed his innate spiritual roots and kicked him out of the door. They claimed that Cao Yun had stolen the core skills of the sect, and the entire world of immortal cultivation issued a pursuit order for him. Cao Yun, whose spiritual roots were destroyed, only had three years left to live. When he was seriously injured and fled to a broken academy in a small border town, he accidentally activated the "Literary and Dao Apotheosis System". Only then did he discover that the literary practice of this world, in which poetry, calligraphy and painting arouse the way of heaven, had long been distorted and tampered with by major sects, and the true top-level literary and Dao inheritance had long been lost.
Relying on the system, Cao Yun transforms every line of poetry into the power of heaven. Every article can condense the literary movement and establish a sect. A piece of rice paper can suppress evil demons for thousands of years, and half a drop of thick ink can cover thousands of miles of spiritual mountains. In order to seize the ancient inkstone, Wei Yong continuously sent killers to encircle and suppress him. The major orthodox sects believed that Cao Yun's new way of writing was a deviant, and jointly issued a pursuit order against him. Cao Yun must break through the cultural relics left by the saints before his three years of life are exhausted, re-open the true literary path, and overthrow the order of immortality controlled by the old forces.
Cao Yun rises step by step from a low-level loser. He uses his wits to resolve encirclements and suppressions, conquers the lost cultural inheritance, and collides with the authority of the old immortal sect again and again. In the process, he makes friends with colleagues, conquers forces, and attracts the favor and calculations of various characters. He not only wants to fight against the deep-rooted old system of cultivating immortals, but also wants to break his own desperate situation and achieve a change of destiny...
