In the Mortal Realm's Skyfire City, a young man named Lin Jin awakens the Nine-Colored Heart Lamp during a sacrificial rite. This attracts the covetous attention of the city's steward and outside forces. His father, Lin Xiaotian, is murdered by men in black, but with his dying breath leaves behind a jade pendant that points to the truth of his mother Yun's origins. Fleeing his pursuers, Lin Jin escapes to the Azure Cloud Sect to cultivate. In the Yunze Mountains, he meets the Ye siblings, inherits the legacy of the Yun Clan ruins, and takes his first steps toward awakening his Divine Movement bloodline. Little by little, he discovers that the culprits behind his family's massacre are connected to the Blood Fiend Sect of the Spirit Realm. He breaks through to the Spirit Realm and ascends, only to be thrown off course and stranded in a wasteland.
In the Spirit Realm, Lin Jin conceals his identity and joins the Skyfire Sect and the Azure Cloud Sword Sect. With his strength, he wins the championship at the Nine Sects Martial Contest. But when his Nine-Colored Heart Lamp is exposed, the Blood Fiend Sect and several other sects join forces to hunt him down. His mother's lingering spirit helps him escape into a spatial rift. Later, at the Ice Phoenix Palace, Lin Jin finds Su Qing and learns about his mother's past with her sisters. He establishes the Blazing Heaven Alliance and openly clashes with the Blood Fiend Sect. On an ancient battlefield, he awakens his Divine Movement bloodline for the second time, and eventually discovers a passage to the Divine Ruins. After ascending to the Divine Ruins, he uncovers an epoch-spanning conspiracy behind the Abyss's invasion amid the war for supremacy among the myriad races. He learns that each time the three realms complete a cycle, the Heart Lamp nourishes the Abyss, and that Lin Jin's Nine-Colored Heart Lamp is the key to breaking the shackles.
