The blood cauldron burns souls, and sword bones become a monument. This deicide scheme was set in motion a hundred thousand years ago.
Lin Qiuhan, a genius alchemy cultivator whose sword bones were ripped out and dantian shattered, crawls out of a bronze cauldron ten years after his fall.
He returns covered in burn scars, only to discover:
His former closest friend, Lu Mingxuan, now has frost in his hair and wears three hundred red jade pills engraved with cultivators' birth dates at his waist;
The Frostshade Sword in the sect's forbidden grounds wails without cease, and its spirit kneels before him, calling him "Emperor";
More strangely still, the body he was reborn into contains a dormant divine-demon heart, half of one, that has been beating for eighty thousand years...
