Xiao Ba and Yan Xiaofeng were childhood friends and fellow disciples, both accepted as apprentices by Hongjun Qianye.
They were both exceptionally gifted, yet utterly different in temperament. Xiao Ba was as steady as a mountain, while Yan Xiaofeng was as lively as water.
They thought they would pursue the Dao and immortality together, but Yan Xiaofeng turned out to be the chosen one favored by Heaven, with opportunities and magical treasures falling right into her hands.
Ten years of Xiao Ba's hard cultivation couldn't match a casual point of her finger. His mindset crumbled, and he left the mountain in bitter resentment.
Then one day, demonic energy swept across the Three Realms, and Yan Xiaofeng's spiritual roots were shattered. She was cast aside like garbage.
Amid the ruins, only the senior brother she'd left behind came toward her, step by step, his sword pointed at the heavens.
“This time, I'll defy Heaven for you.”
