Reborn in an Online Game: I Focus on the Eternal Sword Path

In his previous life, Lu Yan was the top formation cultivator in the online game Xuanzhou. After spending eight years pouring his heart and soul into exploring the game world, he was betrayed by his girlfriend Su Wanqing, whom he trusted wholeheartedly, and his sworn brother Zhou Kai. Coveting an ancient formation inheritance, they lured him into the Demon Abyss, where he died a gruesome death. Reborn on the eve of the game's open beta, Lu Yan resolves to abandon defensive formations and become a sword cultivator focused on killing. With all the memories of the next eight years in his hands, he knows every secret realm and ancient sword opportunity. As soon as the game launches, he avoids the pair's attempts to recruit him and sets off alone for a hidden location to claim an Innate Sword Bone. He seizes control of rare resources across the game ahead of everyone else and repeatedly foils the two traitors' schemes. Meanwhile, he prepares for the signs that the game will invade reality, gathers trustworthy allies, and hones his swordsmanship. When the barriers between the two worlds collapse and demons emerge, Lu Yan takes up his sword to settle old scores and protect his loved ones and all living beings.
