Highlights
Li Qingxuan, a modern man transported to ancient times, finds himself in a peculiar situation when his son, Li Chuan, offers his fiancée, Su Yanran, to him. This unexpected act of filial piety activates a system that rewards Li Qingxuan with cultivation resources and powers, beginning his rapid ascent in strength.
After marrying Su Yanran, Li Qingxuan gains a thousand years of cultivation, reaching the Jindan realm. His son, Li Chuan, also experiences a miraculous recovery and breakthrough. Li Qingxuan, with his newfound strength, defends his family from the aggressive forces of the Wang family and an elder from the Xuan Tian Sect, impressing Su Yanran and increasing her favorability towards him.
Li Qingxuan discovers his ability to gain rewards by helping others, leading him to take on a goddaughter, Shen Bingning, who manages a treasure house. He also confronts another elder from the Green Cloud Sect, asserting his power and proving his new strength. His actions inadvertently lead to Su Yanran being elevated to Holy Maiden and himself becoming the Supreme Elder of the sect, further entwining him in sect politics.
Li Chuan, training diligently, encounters danger from the disgraced elders of the Green Cloud Sect, but is saved by his father's timely intervention. Li Qingxuan continues to demonstrate his immense power, defending his family and even receiving lavish offerings from other sects seeking his favor. His son's indirect filial piety continues to grant him rewards.
Long Ao Xue, Li Chuan's biological mother and Li Qingxuan's former wife, reappears. Initially, she is manipulative, attempting to drain Li Qingxuan's cultivation and acquire the inheritance of the Ancient Ruins. However, Li Qingxuan, aware of her schemes through his system's insights, turns the tables, exposing her true intentions and revealing his unwavering loyalty to Su Yanran and Li Chuan.
Li Qingxuan, Su Yanran, and Li Chuan venture into the Ancient Ruins secret realm. There, they uncover a terrifying truth: a Demon Emperor has possessed Li Qingxuan's father's body and has been orchestrating events. Li Qingxuan manages to separate the Demon Emperor's soul and bind it to a demonic beast egg, ensuring his son has a powerful, albeit unusual, pet.
Li Qingxuan confronts the head of the Li family, Li Xinghe, who conspired against his father in the past. During this confrontation, he discovers the complex truth behind his father's 'death' and the true nature of his own spiritual root. His father, revealed to be alive, had a soul-splitting imperial art used to protect Li Qingxuan.
Li Qingxuan's father, now recovered, reunites with his son. He explains the details of his past and warns Li Qingxuan about the women driven by ambition. With his father's return and his own continued growth aided by the system and his son's filial acts, Li Qingxuan completes a hidden mission and sets his sights on finding his mother, leading to a new chapter in his extraordinary journey.
