Qin Yun, a young handyman, is struggling at the bottom of Qingyun Sect, with mixed spiritual roots and a bleak future. An accidental fall off a cliff bound him to the mysterious [Tiandao Sign-in System], and he narrowly escaped death in the forbidden "Sword Tomb" and actually obtained the [Innate Sword Body]! However, the "nine pillars ringing in unison" phenomenon that erupted from the spirit-detecting pillar did not bring glory. Instead, it aroused the jealousy and contempt of the genius disciple Zhao Yuanchen, who only ended up with the embarrassing status of a "named disciple".
With a system and top-level swordsmanship talent, Qin Yun is walking on thin ice. He relied on the system mission rewards: [Photographic Memory] to find the secret of "Jingtian Lotus" to defeat demons in the Sutra Pavilion; [Alchemy Identification] to see through the dangers in the alchemy room and win a chance; [Spiritual Beast Affinity] to calm the ferocious beasts' madness and reveal himself to be extraordinary. Every step of growth is accompanied by Zhao Yuanchen's troubles and murderous intentions.
The outer gate competition is coming soon, and only the top five will qualify for the inner gate selection. Qin Yun walked forward among the thorns, the edge of his sword first sounded. However, a bigger shadow has already enveloped Qingyun. The tentacles of the Demon Sect "Netherworld Sect" quietly penetrated, Zhao Yuanchen's anomalies, the secret meeting of the men in black, the strange decisions of the sect's top leaders... The Demon Sect token in Qin Yun's hand was like the key to uncovering a shocking conspiracy.
When he took the risk to inquire, he was shocked to find that the head of the Netherworld Sect was actually controlled by the Master Ku Xin! The secret realm of Tianyuan is opened, and Jingtianlian becomes the only hope to reverse the demon species and save the sect. Qin Yun and Qing Leng Senior Sister Liu Qingxuan work together to break into the secret realm and seize the Holy Lotus, but are intercepted and killed by the demonized Zhao Yuanchen. When he was about to die, the system activated [Nirvana], and all his cultivation was lost, but his life and the fire of hope were preserved.
