In a cultivation world where strength reigns supreme, Su Yu, a young man of the Su family, is a good-for-nothing who cannot cultivate, enduring endless mockery and bullying. After his father disappears, his standing in the family plummets, along with his mother's.
By chance, Su Yu enters the family's forbidden grounds and unexpectedly obtains a mysterious jade pendant. The powerful spiritual energy within it not only helps him gather spiritual energy and embark on the path of cultivation, but also brings him countless unexpected opportunities.
After joining Qingyun Sect, famed for its sword cultivators, Su Yu befriends Lin Wan'er, but also draws the jealousy and schemes of Chu Feng, the chief disciple. In one crisis after another, Su Yu relies on the pendant's power and his own resolve to train hard and continually break through.
As his cultivation advances, Su Yu discovers that the pendant conceals a startling secret about an ancient sword formation, a secret seemingly tied to his father's disappearance and the fate of the entire cultivation world. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure in black robes watches from the shadows, while various factions stir at the prospect of the ancient sword formation's secret.
Can Su Yu unravel the mystery of the ancient sword formation and find his father? In a cultivation world rife with open and hidden conflict, how will he shoulder the mission of saving the world and make his comeback from a good-for-nothing to a powerhouse?
