In the twenty-three years of Taiping, undercurrents surged in the world. Wang Che, the young master of the Yaowang Valley Marriage Family, possesses peerless understanding but suffers from an innate broken pulse. He always endures the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of ants when he steals a move under the moonlight of the sword pavilion. On the day of the clan competition, he used the Jinghong Sword he had secretly learned to defeat his cousin's killing move, but he fell to the ring in severe pain as his meridians were severed, and became the laughing stock of the whole city.
When the Xu family envoy tore up the engagement in public, no one noticed that the broken dragon and phoenix jade pendant was showing red lines. Deep in the cold pool that night, the seriously injured white wolf demon eyes reflected the ancient demon script that resonated with Wang Che's body - the demon beast body refining technique that was cut off when the Tianmen collapsed eight hundred years ago was awakening in the young man's fragmented meridians.
From then on, Yao Wanggu's abandoned son held the most dangerous bargaining chip. On the surface, he deals with three sects and nine sects, and secretly competes with Tianji Pavilion. He also has to bear the violent inheritance of ancient monsters as a mortal. When the forbidden skills collide with the millennium secrets of the elixir family, the bloody energy rising from the young man's palm will eventually reveal the most shocking truth in the era of spiritual energy failure.
