Chu Xingchen, a poor independent cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, unexpectedly binds himself to a disciple-recruitment system. To complete its missions, he establishes the Heavenly Dao Alliance in a dilapidated temple at Shili Slope and successively takes in Li Yingling, a young woman with a Water Spirit Root, and Li Xingtian, a reincarnated young man. The three master and disciples struggle to grow stronger through wilderness survival, stealing spiritual plants, and cultivating powerful techniques, while becoming entangled in the evil cultivators' conspiracy at Qingfeng Sect's mining site. As purple baleful energy spreads throughout Yuzhou City and the Demon Suppression Bureau comes seeking help, this seemingly shabby temple gradually becomes the key to turning the chaotic cultivation world upside down.
