Qin Shou, a modern young man, transmigrates into the body of the useless young sect master of the Qingyun Sect and binds himself to a pay-to-win recharge system that lets spirit stones be exchanged for cultivation, sacred weapons, and powerful experts. His first recharge awakens the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, allowing him to crush formidable opponents in the arena and destroy the Purple Flame and Black Fiend sects, plundering countless treasures. He ventures into a Great Sage's sanctuary and cleverly seizes its inheritance, recruiting an old tomb-raiding Taoist and an unusual black dog. At the Azure Heaven Sacred Land, he obtains an Emperor's scripture in the Hall of Kings. Spending his way to ever greater breakthroughs, he suppresses the holy son, saints, and other covetous challengers, settles accounts with hostile factions within the sacred land, and empties its treasure vault. Ultimately, he attains the Great Emperor's Dao, establishes the Qingyun Sacred Land, rules the entire Cangqiong Continent, and waits for the immortal gates to open.
