Lin Feng, once a prodigy at the Sacred Lotus Sect, is now a broken disciple—labeled "The Fallen Star" after his dantian was shattered beyond repair, leaving him unable to cultivate spiritual energy. For seven years, he has endured humiliation, performing menial tasks and enduring bitter treatments, his body and spirit wearied by failed attempts to heal. On the eve of the Lotus Ascension Ceremony, where disciples are sorted into new ranks and assigned masters, Lin Feng is abandoned by his last mentor, Master Zhu, who urges him to leave the sect and live a mortal life.

Desperate and ready to end his suffering, Lin Feng climbs Cloudrest Peak, hoping to escape the world that has never seen his worth. But as he stands at the cliff’s edge, contemplating the end, a strange celestial event changes everything. A meteorite strikes the peak, leaving behind a black stone etched with mysterious characters. Drawn to it, Lin Feng touches the stone, unleashing a violent surge of energy that courses through his shattered meridians, unlocking something dark and ancient within him.

When he awakens, he discovers a new power coursing through him—something unlike anything the sect teaches. The Shadow Meridian, a force older and more forbidden than the sect’s spiritual energy, now pulses in his veins. It is cold, hungry, and linked to a deeper darkness, yet it offers the potential for unimaginable power. Lin Feng is forever changed, no longer a broken disciple but a vessel of something far more dangerous.

As the sect begins the Ascension Ceremony, Lin Feng—once destined for obscurity—decides to make his presence known. But with the shadow of this new power inside him, he is no longer the same. The natural world seems to sense the change in him, and something watches from the shadows, drawn to his newfound energy. The journey ahead is uncertain, fraught with peril, and filled with unanswered questions about the price of power.

Lin Feng is determined to uncover the truth of the Shadow Meridian—whether it is a blessing or a curse—and to seek revenge on those who once discarded him. As he descends into the depths of the sect, what will become of the boy who once failed to hold light, now seeking strength in the darkness?
