Lin Yan, the abandoned son of Yanyang City, was crippled after his spiritual meridians were stolen. But he unexpectedly awakens a Chaos Spirit Meridian in the cellar of his ancestral home and encounters the remnant soul of Xuanjizi, an ancient master of artifact forging. To take revenge, he enters the cultivation world, only to discover that the massacre of his family is tied to the shocking secret of the ancient Tianyan Chessboard. Amid the bloodshed, his childhood sweetheart Su Li reverses the Blood Gu Formation at the cost of her sight. Feiye, the Nine Netherworld Dark Phoenix, binds herself to him with a life-and-death pact, yet repeatedly turns her blade against him. And beneath the gentle facade of Ye Qingxue, leader of the Netherworld Cult, lurks a devilish nature that controls the fates of all living beings. When Lin Yan uses the Hongmeng Ancestral Meridian to tear open the void, he discovers that the so-called "Heavenly Dao" is actually a deception that has imprisoned them for ten thousand years... He stands with sword in hand, behind him the royal dynasty's secret treasures burned to ash, the Tianyan Chessboard shattered, and the nine Chaos Spirit Meridians reborn. This time, he will rewrite the laws of the heavens himself.
