A boy who entered the ranks of martial sects at just ten years old should have been a heaven-blessed prodigy, but the Lin family sabotaged him, nearly burying his extraordinary talent.
At eighteen, he claws his way out of despair, his body covered in old wounds. He emerges stronger from the ordeal, his sword heart more resolute than ever.
His first sword leaves its scabbard, its blade wind carrying the spirit of youth as it cleaves straight through the beginning of a years-deep abyss of hatred.
He then creates his own sword art: Carefree Sword, Shattering the Heavenly Abyss.
With his second sword, Carefree Sword, he shatters the Heavenly Abyss, truly bringing the abyss of hatred to an end. He has barely set foot in the martial world when he stirs up a storm, leaving everyone stunned and earning a place on the Ascending Cloud Rankings, where the world's finest talents compete.
From then on, his sword is unstoppable. He slays a hidden dragon in the depths and sends the clouds of the nine heavens churning wherever he points his blade. But after wandering thousands of miles in search of worthy opponents across the world, he finds none. In the end, he can only raise his sword to the sky. Even the heavens seem to split beneath his blade, leaving behind a legend that belongs to the strong alone.
