In the Tianyuan Continent's Yanyang Kingdom, the Ye family is a martial arts clan with a legacy spanning hundreds of years, holding a position of great importance throughout the land. Yet among the many young members of the Ye family, one has become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes: Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was exceptionally gifted from childhood and was regarded as a once-in-a-century genius of the Ye family. He began cultivating martial arts at a very young age and advanced at astonishing speed. But when he was ten, an unexpected calamity changed the course of his life. For no apparent reason, his dantian shattered and his cultivation plummeted, turning him from a prodigy into a good-for-nothing.
From then on, Ye Chen's standing in the Ye family fell sharply, and he endured ridicule, bullying, and contempt from his clan. The elders who had once pinned their hopes on him were now bitterly disappointed and gave him no more resources or support. Even the family's servants dared to insult and bully him at will.
