A Sword Embryo Like a Dragon

In the Tianyuan Continent, one's cultivation potential is determined by their sword embryo. Sword embryos are divided into nine ranks, with the first rank supreme, allowing its bearer to harness the sword intent of heaven and earth. Those with mortal bones can barely hold a sword without their palms splitting, and are fated to have no chance of cultivation.

The Qingxiao Sword Clan had been dormant for a century, until Lin Qingxuan, a “mortal-boned good-for-nothing,” was born. He had a ninth-rank sword embryo at birth, but at five, he sneaked into the Sword Mound and was pierced by half of a rusty sword. From then on, he became the laughingstock of his clan. For ten years, he nourished the broken sword inside him with his blood essence. Outwardly, he was still a mortal-boned weakling who could not even hold a sword. In truth, the broken sword had already devoured a century's worth of sword qi from Qingxiao Mountain and quietly formed the “Heaven-Slaying Sword Embryo,” left behind by an ancient Sword God.

At the sect's grand tournament, he used a wooden sword to withstand three strikes from an elder with a first-rank sword embryo. When his own sword embryo awakened, dark sword qi shot into the sky and shattered every spirit sword on the mountain. In the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he faced the geniuses of seven great domains alone. With his mortal bones, he called upon the legacy of the Ancient Sword Domain. As he pointed his sword at the heavens, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Embryo manifested in divine form, and its ringing shattered the clouds for thousands of miles.

A mortal-boned nobody, dismissed as an ant, dares to wield the remains of a Sword God as his blade and prove to a cultivation world where sword embryos determine life and death: mortal bones can slay immortals, mortal bones can shatter domains, and mortal bones can command the laws of the sword that govern heaven and earth!
