I Am the Great Emperor, Subduing the Heavens

Lin Yan, a top modern swordsmanship coach, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Xuanhuang Continent and becomes the despised good-for-nothing legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenguo. His spiritual meridians were secretly damaged by Xiao Yehan, son of Prince Jing, and after three years of cultivation he has made no progress. What he doesn't know is that his body conceals a heaven-defying innate sword bone. Drawing on his modern swordsmanship insights, he repairs his meridians and awakens his sword bone, reaching the peak of Body Tempering in just ten days. At the Drunken Immortal Tower, he crushes a Body Tempering expert with two moves, delivering a brutal face-slapping to the arrogant Xiao Yehan. During the Marquisate's tournament, he foils the assassination plot hatched by Lin Hu and Xiao Yehan, makes a name for himself in a single battle, and finally sheds the stigma of being a good-for-nothing. His astonishing swordsmanship talent catches the eye of Mr. Tianji, the third peak master of the Qingyun Sect, and Lin Yan sets foot on the path to immortality. In the mortal realm, he explores four forbidden lands, awakens the innate Dao body of the heroine Su Qingyuan, helps the Lin family consolidate its power, and cultivates all the way to the Law Realm before entering the Immortal Domain. In the Immortal Domain, he faces even more brutal trials and political schemes, uncovering an ancient conspiracy spanning the ages: the wielder of the Heavenly Dao, an ancient Immortal Emperor, seeks to unite the Great Dao under his rule. Combining modern swordsmanship with fantastical laws, Lin Yan forges his own Sword Intent of Unity and joins forces with allies from countless realms, including Ye Jingfeng and Master Foyin. After enduring trial upon trial in the Imperial Realm and beyond, he breaks the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, ascends to the rank of Immortal Emperor, commands the skies with his sword, establishes an eternal Sword Dynasty, and safeguards order across both the immortal and mortal realms.
