Summary
Highlights
Lu Changsheng, along with Song Feiyan and Yoyo, confronts Blackwater Village. After a tough battle, he defeats Wang Meng. He then uses the simulation again to gather intelligence on the Dragon King Gang and the Demon Sect, even planting a 'spy' within the Dragon King Gang through the simulation.
Lu Changsheng, a young man from the 21st century, finds himself reborn in a new world after a truck accident. He is adopted by Lu Guangsheng, the head of a dart board agency. His new father and the agency’s bodyguards are killed by bandits from Blackwater Village, and the Black Tiger Gang then demands an exorbitant tribute, threatening to take over the dart board.
Lu Changsheng discovers the 'Avenue Simulator', a system from his previous life that allows him to gain cultivation experience. He uses a free simulation and learns that his initial attempt to join a martial arts school and remove a centipede curse on him is futile, resulting in his death. He realizes he needs to invest more into the simulator.
Lu Changsheng recharges the simulator, spending 10 taels. His next simulation sees him practice for 52 years, reaching the Internal Qi realm, but ultimately dying. He retains the cultivation experience, gaining power. Subsequent simulations reveal that the Black Tiger Gang, the Wang family, and Blackwater Village are connected and responsible for his father's death.
Armed with new powers and knowledge from his simulations, including advanced blade techniques, Lu Changsheng confronts the Black Tiger Gang. He single-handedly defeats them, learns about their ties to the 'Sacred Sect', and takes a substantial amount of their silver. To cover his tracks, he sets their lair on fire.
Another simulation reveals the public's perception of Lu Changsheng as a 'Mysterious Warrior' and the attempts of the 'Demon Sect' to recruit him. He rejects joining but obtains the Vermilion Bird Seal, which helps him achieve the innate realm. He also learns of a plot by Emotionless Leng to lure him.
Lu Changsheng, now an innate master, directly confronts the Wang family. He exposes their corruption and involvement in his father's death. Despite an attempt at negotiation by Elder Wang, Lu Changsheng kills him. He finds a unique technique, likely sought by the Demon Sect, among Wang's possessions.
Lu Changsheng rescues Yoyo, a young girl being sold into a brothel, from her abusive father and the Golden Phoenix establishment, further solidifying his hero status among the common folk. With the Wang family settled, he sets his sights on Blackwater Village, his father's primary murderers.
On his way to Blackwater Village, Lu Changsheng encounters some of their members attempting a robbery and kidnapping. He swiftly defeats them and learns that Blackwater Village is connected to the Dragon King Gang and the Demon Sect. He takes on Song Feiyan as his disciple.
Lu Changsheng is lured to the Bright Moon Restaurant by Vermilion Bird, who pretends to be his ally but is working with Emotionless Leng. The plan is to capture Lu Changsheng for the Demon Lord. However, Lu Changsheng anticipates the betrayal and turns the tables, defeating Emotionless Leng, who escapes with his life after a self-destructive blast.
After destroying multiple bandit strongholds, Lu Changsheng finds his credit being claimed by Sun Tianyun, a member of the Demon Sect. In court, despite Sun's false witnesses, Lu Changsheng exposes Sun's true colors by revealing his demonic affiliations, leading to Sun's arrest. However, the magistrate, due to bureaucracy, still attributes the reward to Sun, frustrating Lu Changsheng.
The Demon Sect attacks, seeking revenge for Sun Tianyun. Lu Changsheng sends Yoyo and Feiyan to secure his finances at the dart board. He confronts the Demon Lord, but is overwhelmed by his power. The Demon Lord threatens to destroy his dart board and those within it.
In his weakened state and facing the Demon Lord, the system reveals he has only 10 days to live unless he completes 100% 'dual cultivation' to unlock the Immortal Emperor realm. He begins this cultivation with Yoyo and Feiyan, improving his power through their emotional connection and combat training.
Lu Changsheng, through dual cultivation and strategic acquisition of a 'Thick Earth Decree', achieves the Immortal Emperor realm. Empowered with the Immortal Emperor's Golden Palm, he confronts and ultimately destroys the Demon Lord at his abandoned kiln stronghold, liberating the region from his tyranny.
