After getting hit by a truck and transmigrating to a cultivation world, Chen Feng finds he has no talent for martial arts or qi cultivation. Despite practicing for years, he remains stuck at the lowest levels. When Chen Feng falls off a cliff one day but miraculously survives unscathed, he realizes he is an immortal who cannot die.
Keeping his special status secret, Chen Feng begins subtly testing the limits of his immortality. As time passes, he starts stealing cultivation resources from sects and clans, relying on his inability to die to evade traps and guards. Chen Feng establishes a hidden cave as his base of operations, filled with a priceless hoard of manuals, artifacts and pills gathered over decades.
Chen Feng then takes on the persona of a mysterious prophet, giving cryptic foretelling of coming change to cultivation sects. He selectively leaks low-level cultivation knowledge to commoners, while evading investigations from major sects. Conflict brews as a result of Chen Feng's interference. Through his machinations as the immortal trickster, Chen Feng becomes an unseen chaotic force in the cultivation world.
Eventually, Chen Feng's presence becomes too disruptive for the sects to tolerate. They band together, racing to uncover Chen Feng's true identity and motives while also contending with the increasing unrest among commoners. Chen Feng continues to evade capture despite the sects hunting him with all their might. His immortal status offers him limitless time to continue sowing chaos across the cultivation world.
