Wang Chen transmigrates to Douluo Continent and awakens the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda as his martial soul. Expecting a cheat-like life with this legendary treasure, he finds out that his martial soul, while incredibly defensive, lacks any offensive capabilities. The pagoda's boisterous personality encourages reckless fighting, while Wang Chen struggles to overcome his martial soul's limitations. Later, the Pan Gu Axe appears, offering a powerful offensive option, but only if Wang Chen can figure out how to summon it.
