Xiao Xuan was once the famed Heavenly Mystic Sword Sovereign of the Myriad Heavens. But after a trusted friend betrayed him during a struggle for the Primordial Key, his cultivation was destroyed, and he fell to an ordinary mortal realm in the lower world.
Now a cripple, he takes shelter in a rundown courtyard, only to unexpectedly awaken memories of his past life and discover three shattered origins remaining within him: the Sacred Heart of the Literary Way, the True Blood of the Martial Way, and the Spiritual Root of the Arcane Way.
When assassins sent by his enemies burst through the door, he wields a fire poker and uses the most basic mortal sword moves to summon the heavenly tribulation of the Nine Heavens.
"Good timing!" Xiao Xuan laughs amid the lightning. "I was just wishing for more firewood, and here you are, delivering it!"
The Myriad Heavens tremble as the Sword Sovereign returns. In this life, he will cultivate all three paths, traverse the Hundred Schools of Thought, and use his sword to challenge the peak of the Myriad Worlds!
