The story takes place in the vast world of the Nine Profound Continent. Profound energy fills the land, and cultivators absorb it to awaken and develop their Natal Profound Aspect. There are countless kinds of Aspects, including weapons, spirit beasts, natural elements, and even abstract concepts such as time and fate. An Aspect determines a person’s path of cultivation and the limits of their power. The continent is ruled by the Sacred Dynasty, but beneath it stand countless sects, while other races lurk at its borders. The imperial court and the various powers are locked in a tense struggle beneath the surface. Legend says that when the nine Origin Dragon Veins converge, they will open the gates to the divine realm and grant control over the Myriad Aspects of Creation.
The protagonist, Li Bin, was once the unwanted son of a family in a remote border town. Unable to awaken a Profound Aspect, he suffered constant bullying. In truth, he carries the bloodline of the ancient Li imperial clan, now long fallen, and accidentally awakens the forbidden Profound Aspect, the Chaos Furnace. He is meticulous and ruthless, but outwardly carefree and unbeatable in a battle of words. He knows how to play the pig to eat the tiger. His goals are to uncover his origins, avenge his family, and rise to the pinnacle of the world.
