Reborn in a Good-for-Nothing Body, Mastering the Universe

Lin Yuan, a modern master of the ancient martial arts who also practiced medicine and formations, was transported by a freak accident into the Xuantian Continent and became the third young master of the Chancellor’s residence. The original owner of his body had awakened a foxtail grass martial soul with no offensive power and was dismissed as a good-for-nothing who couldn’t even begin Qi Refining. He suffered abuse from servants and ridicule from his clan, until one day the household guards shoved him into a lotus pond, where he drowned, allowing Lin Yuan to take over his body.

After waking, Lin Yuan used his previous life’s martial arts knowledge to teach the guards who had provoked him a lesson. He also made an astonishing discovery: his foxtail grass martial soul was actually a rare devouring martial soul, capable of ravenously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the essence of other martial souls and spiritual treasures. In a single day, he broke through five levels of Qi Refining, transforming from a good-for-nothing into a promising cultivator and shocking his seventh younger sister, Lin Wan’er, the only person in the family who had sincerely cared for him.

Faced with his father Lin Xiaotian’s indifference and his second brother Lin Hao’s hostility and humiliation, Lin Yuan stopped holding back. He struck back in front of everyone and made it clear that he was no pushover. From then on, he rapidly advanced through his devouring martial soul. At the family’s martial soul assessment, he astonished everyone and delivered a face-slapping rebuke to all those who had looked down on him. He also used his medical skills to treat a sect elder and his formation skills to create a spirit-gathering barrier, earning cultivation resources and influential allies as he gradually established himself in the capital.

As his strength grew, Lin Yuan was drawn into court power struggles and sect conflicts. He made like-minded allies, braved perilous secret realms, and subdued ancient exotic beasts. He also uncovered the conspiracy behind his second brother Lin Hao: Lin Hao’s Tiger martial soul had been created through a crooked path, and the sect backing him intended to take control of the Chancellor’s residence and ultimately overthrow the dynasty.
