Across this vast and ancient land, fate hangs over all like a veil of fog. The strong rule, while the weak struggle to survive. Ling Chen was born with a mixed spiritual root and was dealt a cruel hand by fate. He should have spent his life in obscurity, but fate is never so simple. A mysterious power lies hidden within him, and he is destined to refuse an ordinary life. Ling Chen chooses to conceal his strength and quietly build it up. In everyone else's eyes, he is a lowly, useless servant disciple. In secret, however, he steadily amasses power, waiting for the chance to defy fate.
Keeping a low profile, Ling Chen joins the Xuantian Sect as a servant disciple and lives a life of neglect. But schemes and power struggles within the sect gradually come to light. The secret smuggling of spirit herbs from the medicine garden conceals an even greater storm. Ling Chen watches from the shadows, using the opportunity to plot his own rise. On the surface, he is an ordinary disciple bullied by everyone; amid constant danger, however, he repeatedly displays astonishing intelligence and cunning, steadily climbing the ranks.
Ling Chen knows that fate lies only in the hands of the strong. By pretending to be weak and catching his enemies off guard, he deftly avoids powerful foes and bides his time. Whenever he finally strikes, his enemies are taken completely by surprise. As he gradually uncovers the secrets of his origins, the mysterious power within him continues to awaken, and his influence rises rapidly.
Yet powerful enemies surround him, and conflicts both inside and outside the sect grow ever fiercer. Heaven's will may be impossible to defy, but his worldly ties are not yet severed. Ling Chen embarks on a path against fate, one destined to be filled with hardship, and vows to break the shackles of heaven and earth and seize control of his own destiny!
