Official Synopsis:

Li Banfeng isn’t crazy. At least, that’s what the doctor said. The “feng” in his name means “mountain peak,” not “madness.”

To save a friend’s life, he steps onto Platform No. 96 and boards the steam train 1160. This train ride takes him to Puluo Province, a land frozen in the steam-powered era.

In this strange world, he meets a soulmate trapped in an old gramophone, a peerless beauty from a calendar post, a charming socialite swaying within an old tabletop pendulum clock, and an otherworldly master trapped in his own wine gourd.

Here, cultivation takes many strange forms. There are Gourmandism Cultivators who grow fiercer the more they eat, Smoking Cultivators who become stronger with every puff, Martial Cultivators who turn more ruthless with every kill, and Inebriate Cultivators who grow wilder the more they drink. There are also Wanderlust Cultivators who wish to go everywhere, and Homebound Cultivators who wish to go nowhere at all.

Among a hundred sects beneath the sky, who dares to vie for glory?

Among ten thousand cultivators of Puluo, who shall stand as the foremost?

Li Banfeng puts on his suit, tips his fedora, and lifts his feather duster.

With utmost seriousness, he asks, “Tell me. Who is the Overlord of Puluo?”

She was an inconspicuous maidservant, who, in order to cure her gravely ill mother, stood in for her mistress to consummate her marriage with the Regent King. Little did she expect her mistress to break her promise, failing not only to cure her mother but also using her mother as a pawn for control. Concerned for her mother’s safety, she acquiesced and endured at every turn, gradually pushed to the brink. After awakening to the truth, she no longer held back, vowing to firmly tread upon all those who had mistreated and humiliated her. She took the initiative to approach the Regent King and, unintentionally, earned his favor, leading to a life without shame. Just as everyone expected her to be forsaken, the Regent King held two children in his arms, pitifully subjected to her scolding. Once she had voiced her grievances, the Regent King unexpectedly picked her up and said, “I am both physically and emotionally wounded, and I need compensation.” Is this… still the Regent King who is known for his ruthless ways?

As the heir apparent of the Ye family, Ye Xuan went through fire and water for his family, but Ye Lang, who had just awakened his Divine Soul, usurped his place. In order to keep his position, Ye Xuan challenged Ye Lang to a Life-death Duel. With the broken Dantian, would he win this fight? The black ring his mother left brought him a great opportunity: Realm Hell Tower, where he met a mysterious lady, who told him to look for nine Daoist Laws to enhance his strength and gave him the Spirit Heaven Sword. Could Ye Xuan find all the Daoist Laws and become a powerful swordsman?

The stone-headed, earthy philosopher, the ultimate real man, the door-kicking investigator, the politics-hating, the deceit-hating, the cool-kick-the-door-and-turn-the-table-free-man Wang Yu, in his own way, leaves his own mark on this bad and crazy world. “I don’t like to hear or understand any words or stories from my enemies.” “Look at me, we are invincible…” “One must always know himself, more than anything else.” The iron hammer and will to shatter every obstacle in the path ahead… It’s a journey of a free slugger who is primary warrior, secondary wizard smashes everything in his way.
