I transmigrated to a world ruled by gods, a world where the divine court had only swept across the world a few hundred years ago.
Lin Xiao, who was focused on cultivating immortality and didn't want to get involved in the intricacies of the Divine Court, could only seal himself inside the spiritual treasure Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot.
Within the pot, a grotto-heaven opens, the sun and moon are refined; if I cannot become a celestial immortal, I will become an earth immortal, my spirit merging with the grotto-heaven to transform heaven and earth.

The world is a sea of bitterness.
The mortal swims in the sea.
The body is the vessel.
The soul is the mortal on the vessel.
The vessel carries the mortal as it sails endlessly towards the other side of the sea.

Jiang Ci woke up as a stone on a riverbank in a Jiangnan water town. Unable to move or speak, he could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Sect recruited students, a flood of them streaming in. He thought his life as a stone was hopeless, relying on absorbing meager earth energy to survive eternity. Then, a mysterious yellow stone seal inexplicably appeared in his sea of consciousness: [Stage: One] [Feature: Generate Wealth from the Earth (Autonomously Absorb the Energy of the Earth Spirit (Earth Veins))] This divine seal, which empowers one simply by lying down, arrived just in time! Even more amazingly, a blue-robed Taoist from the Daiyue Sect rolled up his sleeves and said, "I know you possess spiritual energy. Follow me back to the mountain." Wait! Are the Immortal Sect's admissions criteria so broad? Even stones are acceptable? From then on, the Daiyue Sect gained a disciple with a unique artistic style. Others fly with swords, but he... rolls? Others refine elixirs and draw talismans, but he... basks in the sun and absorbs earth energy? Watch how a stone, lying flat on its back, absorbs spiritual energy with the "Earth God" seal...
