Transmigrator Jiang Bai, equipped with a fortune-telling system, struggles to survive in the cultivation world in the guise of a mortal fortune-teller. He calculates true immortals to death, walks a tightrope between overlords Dugu Qing and Qin Xiaofeng, and is placed under house arrest as a 'canary' while secretly practicing the Eight-Nine Xuan Art to build his foundation. Relying on fortune-telling to fleece resources, he befriends heavenly prodigy Dugu Yue, revolutionary Li Tian, and Void-returning diviner Zhang Wu, getting embroiled in the power struggle of Divine Phoenix City. Ultimately aboard the flying boat, Xiao Zizai, the number one expert of Southern Heaven, dimensionality-reduces and crushes Dugu Qing, and Jiang Bai sees the situation clearly in the cracks—only strength can break free from the cage.
