After the extinction, the cultivation civilization turned to a new page. Talents emerged, and the masters of immortals and demons were restless.

The human immortal dynasty, the desolate city of the underworld, the celestial court of the nine heavens, the demon and monster teachings, the ten major schools of immortal positions... Various forces entangled with each other, and the nine heavens realm was plunged into conflict. In a remote realm, Luo Chuan, a young man from the Tang Country, who was originally a low-ranking noble, received an ancient and extraordinary technique that even the peerless demon lord had overlooked when he was framed by someone.

The seemingly incompatible Nine Transformations Foundation Building Technique led Luo Chuan to leave the small Tang Country and embark on his path to enlightenment.
