Ling Xuan, the Profound Emperor of Myriad Daos, stood unrivaled beneath heaven in four arts: alchemy, formations, swordsmanship, and artifact crafting. He was the sole Profound Emperor to reach the pinnacle of the Ninth Martial Realm.
Thirty thousand years ago, at the critical moment when he was about to break through to the Divine Realm at the Source of Myriad Daos, his sworn brothers and his wife joined forces to betray him. His soul shattered, and he died with hatred in his heart.
Thirty thousand years later, Ling Xuan's soul inhabits the body of a good-for-nothing legitimate son of the Duke Who Guards the Nation's household in the Great Jing Dynasty. The moment he opens his eyes, he faces a deadly predicament: framed by his half-brother, shunned by his clan, and stripped of all cultivation.
A good-for-nothing in the Body Tempering Realm? The ninth-grade Emperor Pills he casually conjures are enough to make Martial Saints fight over them.
Can't understand formations? The formation patterns he casually inscribes can trap any martial artist below the Profound Emperor realm.
Someone laughs at how a mere insect dares to act so arrogant? Sorry, when I was the Profound Emperor, your ancestors were still playing in the mud.
In this life, Ling Xuan returns with the memories of Myriad Daos. He tramples arrogant young masters, crushes powerful enemies, seeks out his old followers, and uncovers the truth. He will nail every traitor to the pillar of shame and make them pay in blood!
When I once again stand atop the peak of Myriad Daos, I will make the sun and moon witness a brand-new world!
