The Nine Swords of Questioning the Heart

On the Nine Heavens Continent, the Heavenly Gate has hung above the world for ages. For ten thousand years, cultivators have prided themselves on knocking it open, believing they would ascend, when in truth they became slaves to the Heavenly Dao, their souls offered up as sacrifices.

A hundred years ago, the Heaven-Defying Sword Venerable took up the “Heart-Questioning Sword” and fought alone against the Nine Heavens. His sword shattered, his body perished, and his soul was reincarnated as Lu Chen, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect who swept the grounds.

With no spiritual roots and no cultivation, he kept silent for three years, until the broken sword returned and his memories awakened.

In this life, he seeks no ascension and reveres neither immortals nor Buddhas.

He will knock on the Heavenly Gate with his sword, not to enter, but to shatter it!
