In Jiuyao Continent, the Beidou Nine Stars divide the nine secret realms of seven lights and two darks, hiding the shocking secrets of ancient calamities. Here, cultural and martial arts coexist. Confucian sages carved heavenly monuments to suppress the Eight Desolations, but the inheritance of the monumental brush also triggered fierce competition among various forces. Thirty years ago, the "Tianyuan Alliance" agreed on the separation of civil and military rule. Now the nine tripods in the country have been stolen one after another. The mysterious "Yinghuo Shouxin" celestial phenomenon is about to come, and the entire continent is undercurrent.
Lu Zangfeng, a private school teacher who had his memory wiped, accidentally awakened the "Stele Carver" while teaching poor students. He has the magical ability to repair damaged classics. However, he was ruthlessly hunted by the Confucian Temple because of this, which also revealed the truth about the fraud case in the examination room ten years ago. The eldest princess of the Southern Jin Dynasty coerced him to join the watchmen on the pretext of tracking down the stolen "Shanhe Cauldron". During the search, they discovered the half-que "Broken Formation" carved inside each tripod, and the clues actually pointed to the Lu family's ancestral graves.
A shaman from the Royal Court of Northern Liao appeared holding Lu Zangfeng's mother's bone flute, ruthlessly revealing that his biological father was actually the leader of the demon sect that had bloodied the world, and that the sacred object of the demon sect was the last cauldron - the Burning Heaven Cauldron. What is even more shocking is that the mountain masters of the three major academies are each at their wits end. Only then does Lu Zangfeng realize that he is actually the "evil corpse" chopped off by the Confucian sage, and that the "seed of calamity" that determines the fate of the continent is sealed in his body.
How should Lu Zangfeng make a decision in this complicated situation? Should we follow fate, or break this rigged chess game? Can he solve the mystery of the ancient calamity, prevent the coming crisis, and protect the peace of Jiuyao Continent?
