Across the vast and boundless Ninefold Heaven, Xuanhuang Continent, Tianlan Continent, and Youming Continent stand in a tripartite balance, while the Starfall Sea, the God-Burying Sea, and five other seas churn with mighty waves. The Ye Clan, an ancient family of Xuanhuang Continent with deep foundations, is suddenly struck by disaster.
Sixteen-year-old Ye Lingxiao, born with a Chaotic Body, awakens memories of his past life on the night his clan is wiped out. Bearing the fate of nine cycles of reincarnation, he sets out on a path of revenge and cultivation.
He makes a name for himself at the Tianji Pavilion's consort selection and meets Su Wanqing. As the young mistress of the Tianji Pavilion, Su Wanqing possesses Moon Eyes that can foresee the future, and a prophecy written in the stars entwines her fate with Ye Lingxiao's. Lin Jinghong, an abandoned disciple of the Hidden Sword Manor, is devoted to the sword and joins forces with Ye Lingxiao to clear his name of the crime of murdering his master. Murong Xue, a cool and aloof woman with an Ice Soul Sacred Body, is drawn into the conflict as she tries to save her people.
The story revolves around the Nine Tribulations Lock and the Heavenly Stele's secret script. Talented young cultivators from all sides gather for a fierce contest. As the story unfolds, the truth of reincarnation comes to light, and the tale of Ye Lingxiao's betrayal by his closest kin in a past life is heartbreaking. Su Wanqing burns through her lifespan to save Ye Lingxiao, while the little mute awakens the bloodline of the Candle Dragon and throws the situation into chaos.
At last, the nine forbidden lands appear, forcing everyone to make choices that will decide their fates. Can Ye Lingxiao emerge transformed from his trials, break free of chaos, and reshape the order of Heaven and Earth? An astonishing tale of immortal heroes begins here.
