Lu Yuan used his inherited research knowledge to improve his family’s cultivation, awaken his own Soul Power, and withstand growing scrutiny in Maple Leaf Town. He left for Nuoding City, where Shen Moxin recognized his theories and invited him to study at the academy as a work-study student.
Lu Yuan’s inventions and unconventional methods brought him into conflict with academy authorities, even as he gained allies and proved his abilities. After Shen Moxin was punished and Lu Yuan chose to leave for Vast Sea City, Teacher Sun sent an assassin after him, but a young stranger intervened.
Lu Yuan and the wounded Lin Xiao escaped the Hundred Refinements Pavilion through a dangerous valley and found shelter with Qingzhu. As Lu Yuan helped Lin Xiao adapt his cultivation and investigated earth-vein resonance, an old enemy arrived, apparently connected to Lin Xiao’s clan.
Lu Yuan helped Lin Xiao rebuild his Soul Power circulation, won him freedom from the Lin Clan, and fled with Qingzhu’s directions to the Thousand Needle Stone Forest. There he joined forces with Mo Chen, uncovered a ruin sought by the Cloud Mist Sect, and escaped with Soul Marrow fragments as the forest drew more factions.
Lu Yuan built a hidden research base, gathered allies, and prepared to seize Soul Marrow Essence from the Cloud Mist Sect’s search area. The mission yielded three pieces of the Essence but separated Lu Yuan and Lin Xiao during their escape, leaving Lu Yuan hidden in a cavern while the sect continued its search.
Lu Yuan built Spark, gathered intelligence, and used forged ruins clues to draw rival forces to the Ghost Cry Rift. When the standoff weakened the Cloud Mist Sect camp, he rescued Lin Xiao, but the group fled with Lin Xiao unstable and Lu Qinghe badly wounded.
Lu Yuan’s group resisted the Scavengers, formed a limited alliance with the empire, and escaped the Cloud Mist Sect’s search by fleeing through a hidden route. In a secluded valley, Lu Yuan taught residents to turn flaws in their Martial Souls into strengths, then led willing followers toward ancient Soul Tool ruins as their pursuers closed in.
Lu Yuan gathered allies and uncovered the Gate of Finality while the Eye of Shadow and other factions closed in. After entering the rift to stabilize the ancient door, he disappeared, leaving his companions to evacuate with an uncertain sign from his compass.
