In the Qingyun Sect of the Qingcang Continent, Zhang Chen, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, was unable to absorb spiritual energy due to his "mortal bones" and became an abandoned son ridiculed by everyone in the sect. He endured everything silently, just because of the glimmer of light in his heart that refused to be extinguished.
In an accident, he picked up a simple and unpretentious long sword - the Chenyuan Sword in the forbidden area behind the sect. Since then, his "Chaos Mortal Body", which was regarded as useless, was quietly activated. This physique may seem ordinary, but it is compatible with all kinds of methods, allowing him to break through the realm without any bottlenecks. However, every time he advances, it will lead to heartbreaking "heavenly backlash", and narrow escapes have become a common occurrence.
From being a downtrodden outer disciple to gradually rising to prominence, Zhang Chen's road was full of thorns. He met Su Muxue, a medicine cultivator, whose alchemy skills enabled him to pull him back from the gate of hell several times with the "Breaking Realm Pill" and "Resurrection Pill". The two went from being close friends to Taoist companions, walking hand in hand;
As his strength grew, Zhang Chen gradually became involved in sect power struggles and realm disputes. In order to protect the people around him, he dared to become an enemy of the Qingyun Sect and dare to compete with the realms of the heavens. And when the quasi-sage Chaos of the Chaos Realm arrived with the "Swallowing Physique", intending to devour all realms and enslave all living beings, Zhang Chen had already understood his own way - to use the "Chaos Mortal Body" to carry the law of balance, and to use the Chen Fate Sword to cut off his hegemonic ambitions.
This is the story of an abandoned son who rises against the odds, a legend from humble beginnings to peak, from guarding a corner to caring for the common people.
