Lu Chi, a rogue cultivator at the first layer of Qi Refining, was exploited by a sect's vassal while gathering spiritual herbs. He resisted but was kicked off a cliff; his blood soaked the ancestral rusted bronze piece he held in his arms, awakening the slumbering ancient supreme treasure. At the bottom of the cliff, he formed an alliance with Qing Wei, an injured fox demon, and the man and fox ventured into the cultivation world together. As their cultivation climbed, the secrets of the rusted bronze piece were peeled away layer by layer; the rusted bronze piece was originally the ancient supreme treasure Xuanhuang Bronze Piece, divided into seven pieces scattered across heaven and earth. Deep within the secret realm, an even more heaven-shaking truth was hidden: the exhaustion of spiritual Qi in the Cangyuan Realm was not a natural disaster, but rather the upper realm sealing the spiritual origin and treating the lower realm as nourishment. Sects monopolized spiritual veins, and the upper realm fed on all living beings. A mere rogue cultivator believes neither in fate nor in the heavens.
