On the Lingwu Continent, strength is everything. Chen Xi was once a prodigy, betrothed from childhood to Su Yinuo, the eldest daughter of the Su family. But on the eve of their wedding, the spiritual power within him mysteriously collapsed. Overnight, the genius became a “good-for-nothing,” less capable than an ordinary person. A cold divorce letter followed, along with the whole city's ridicule.
Reduced to his lowest point, Chen Xi is forced to take the path of body cultivation, the one most despised by all. Through endless pain and hardship, he not only uncovers a shocking conspiracy behind the collapse of his spiritual power, but also accidentally awakens an ancient divine artifact that has lain dormant for ages.
From then on, an untrodden path unfolds beneath his feet. He cultivates spirit, martial arts, and the body, forging all three into one! Using his mortal body as a foundation, he draws in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and masters supreme martial techniques. The enemies who once cast him aside now tremble beneath his feet, while the summit of the world, once beyond his reach, stretches out before him.
Meanwhile, evil cultivators wiped out ten thousand years ago rise again. The new generation of their master has plotted for a thousand years, and the shadow of revenge looms over the continent. Chen Xi's rise becomes entwined with this calamity sweeping across the world. Among his companions are his childhood friend, who betrayed her family for him; a cold and aloof sword prodigy; and the daughter of an evil cultivator, unaware that she bears a blood feud of her own...
This is an against-all-odds legend about a good-for-nothing, and an epic battle over good and evil, love and hate, and the possibility of coexistence.
