Emperor Xuan Lin Ye was betrayed by his sworn brother and cultivation partner. After his body and soul were destroyed, he unexpectedly returned reborn to the moment when he was sixteen and his spiritual root had been crippled. Armed with memories of his past life and a soul carrying the cultivation of an Imperial Venerable, he proceeds with careful planning. He will not only take revenge on the traitors, but also make up for every regret.
In the forbidden grounds behind the mountain, he regains the ancient inheritance, the Primordial Creation Art, and reforges the Supreme Seven-Star Chaos Root, making his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. The petty nobodies who once bullied him are crushed with ease. He also protects, one by one, the women he failed to get close to in his previous life: the cool and brilliant genius Su Muxue, the gentle Liu Ruyan, the pure-hearted medicine apprentice Bai Zhirou, and others. They gradually fall for him.
With his foreknowledge of opportunities, cultivation arts, and secret realms from his past life, Lin Ye rises rapidly, first making his mark in the Qingyun Sect before venturing into the wider world of cultivation. He subdues demonic beasts, seizes treasures, and unravels conspiracies, repeatedly turning the tables in countless perilous situations as his cultivation steadily advances. Meanwhile, more and more women with vastly different personalities are drawn to his strength and sense of responsibility, and join him on his journey.
On this path of revenge and resurgence, Lin Ye returns to the peak with the bearing of an Imperial Venerable. He will not only make the traitors pay in blood, but also take control of his own destiny, win the hearts of beauties throughout the Nine Heavens, and forge a legend without precedent.
