After transmigrating into the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Gu Changheng becomes the last disciple of Zong Weixia, one of the Kongtong Five Elders. But with the Six Great Sects' western expedition about to begin, he injures his internal organs by recklessly practicing the Seven Injury Fist, and his sect removes him from the expedition roster. Just as he resigns himself to staying behind on the mountain to recover, a system that reverses the cost of cultivation activates: the more the Seven Injury Fist harms his body, the faster his cultivation rises. The backlash everyone else fears becomes fuel for him to break through.
The very next day, the Kongtong disciple who had been coughing blood in bed suddenly sees his power surge. He defeats fellow disciples, captures old enemies, and sets out once more for Bright Summit. The Seven Injury Fist is only the beginning. The poison that ravages the body through the Thousand Spider Ten Thousand Poison Hands, the dangers of the Great Shift of the Universe, the hidden risks of Shaolin's secret techniques... Martial arts that no one dares touch become his fastest road to the heavens.
In this life, Zhang Wuji will still rise, Zhao Min will still make her moves from the shadows, and the bloody war between the Six Great Sects and the Ming Cult will still rage on. But Gu Changheng is striving for far more than the reputation of a young prodigy.
He will make the Kongtong Seven Injury Fist famous throughout the land, win the genuine respect of the Ming Cult's heroes, and secure a voice for himself amid the Yuan court's schemes and the shifting tides of the martial world.
Until one day, every martial art under heaven becomes a step on his path to immortality.
