He just wanted to read in peace. The heavens had other plans.

The spring thaw has come to Blazing Sun Mountain, but for Liu Feng, the change of season brings more than just blossoms. The Four Great Sects are gathering for a grand tournament, and the air is thick with more than just pollen—it's heavy with killing intent, sect rivalries, and the arrival of a fiancée he’s never met.

While his partner-in-chaos, Song Song, is busy shattering the arrogance of young masters in the arena, Liu Feng is focused on the real prize: the Song Clan’s restricted library. But even a dedicated bookworm can’t ignore the call of an ancient mystery. When a joint expedition is announced to raid the tomb of a long-forgotten immortal, Liu Feng must leave his cozy reading nook for a world of swamp-dwelling tribes, titanic monstrous beasts, and reality-bending arrays.

Inside the ruins, Liu Feng discovers that "heaven’s chosen" isn't just a title—it's a threat. To protect his friends and his hoard of forbidden knowledge, he’ll have to outsmart a rival with impossible luck and claim a Sky Grade technique that could either elevate his cultivation or fry his brain.

In a world where everyone fights for glory, the nerd who fights for data is the most dangerous man of all.

Book 3 of Liu Feng's quest to surpass all limits and defy the heavens, shattering the arrogance of all young masters on his way. It's perfect for fans of Unintended Cultivator, Cradle, and The First Law of Cultivation!
