Lin Feng, a young man from the modern world and a devoted fan of wuxia, is caught in a space-time vortex by a mysterious, unknown energy during an accident. He transmigrates into the wuxia world and takes over Feng Qingyang’s body. The mysterious energy not only makes him young again but also grants him extraordinary comprehension, instantly turning him into a peerless master.
The story opens with Lin Feng, inhabiting Feng Qingyang’s body, running into Linghu Chong at the Cliff of Reflection on Mount Hua. The jianghu is now divided among countless sects locked in endless strife, and a storm surrounding the Evil-Warding Sword Manual and the unification of the Five Mountains Sword Sects is quietly gathering.
In this wuxia world, martial artists are divided into seven levels: novice, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, top-tier master, peerless master, and transcendent sage. Novices have only just begun learning martial arts. Third-rate masters have earned a modest reputation in the jianghu, while second-rate masters can hold their own. First-rate masters can become pillars of their sects. Top-tier masters like Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan can dominate a region. Peerless masters like Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing have few equals. Transcendent sage is a legendary realm, and Feng Qingyang has now entered it thanks to the mysterious energy.
