Lin Chen, the youngest elder of Qingyun Sect, returns from the forbidden Ruins of Return, where he narrowly escaped death. His martial arts have been completely crippled, and he has become everyone's laughingstock. What nobody knows is that the forbidden land holds Xing Xuan, who once defied the heavens and fought for him.
She destroyed his cultivation to sever the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. She forced him to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and complete nine seemingly unreasonable tasks: performing on the streets, tempering his heart in the mortal world, forging a body from astral remains... Every one of them was part of her far-reaching plan to rebuild his foundations.
From then on, he can shatter divine weapons with his bare hands and shake the stars with his mortal body. Lin Chen emerges from the forbidden land, bearing nine karmic ties and a body full of mysteries, and returns to the treacherous, ever-changing star domain. See how this once-renowned genius maneuvers through the whirlpool of fate, turns the tables with a smile, and hides his edge in the palm of his hand, until he finally faces the radiant Heavenly Dao that imprisoned both him and her.
