This story is set on the Nine Heavens Continent, where cultivation is based on spiritual energy.
The continent is controlled by four sacred grounds and nine great clans. The Lin family of Qingzhou City is a third-rate clan, standing alongside the Xiao and Bai families as one of the city's three powers.
Lin Mo, born with damaged meridians, is humiliated during the family assessment and branded a "cripple" in front of everyone. By chance, he activates the bronze ring his mother left behind.
Guided by a mysterious voice, Lin Mo discovers nine seals hidden within him in the Monster Beast Forest. When the first seal is lifted, he gains an ancient battle physique. He repairs his meridians by devouring monster beast cores, and the first time he displays his devouring power, it causes a strange celestial phenomenon.
Using the fragmentary map left by his father and his mother's ring, Lin Mo learns that his origins are tied to ancient secrets and the continent's most powerful forces…
