A Heaven's Chosen Emerges from the Sword Mound

Ten thousand years ago, the ancient Sword Venerable Jian Wuming wielded the Heaven-Slaying Sword and swept through the sword cultivators of the Three Realms. But his closest friend and cultivation partner joined forces to betray him, leaving him dead in the Sword Mound. His sword soul and the Heaven-Slaying Sword were sealed together deep within the mound. Ten thousand years later, Ye Chen of Qingyun City, a good-for-nothing youth mocked by his family for having “blocked sword meridians,” enters the Sword Mound in search of Swordheart Grass to repair them. There, he accidentally awakens Jian Wuming’s remnant soul and is imbued with the sword soul, awakening the power of the ancient Sword Venerable.

At this point, Ye Chen can barely perform even the most basic sword techniques. His father has been gravely wounded by an enemy and lies unconscious, and his cousin Ye Feng has stolen the family’s ancestral Qingyun Sword Manual. Ye Chen has suffered every kind of humiliation at the hands of his clan. But when Jian Wuming’s remnant soul merges with his body and the sword soul begins to reshape his meridians, everything turns around!

He cultivates the Nameless Sword Canon anew. The silvery-white sword energy gathering at his fingertips is both a blade that shatters mockery and a stairway leading to the Sword Venerable’s summit. He astonishes everyone in the family trials and claims every opportunity in the secret realm. Ye Chen’s rise, with Jian Wuming’s soul within him, sends shockwaves through all of Qingyun City.

But the enemies who betrayed Jian Wuming have long since laid a vast, inescapable net. Sensing the sword soul’s presence, they seek to seize it and the Heaven-Slaying Sword so they can dominate the Three Realms. This time, Jian Wuming, in Ye Chen’s body, will make every enemy pay for their blood debts and reclaim the summit of the Sword Venerable, bringing forth another prodigy from the Sword Mound!
