Three years ago, Lin Chen's forester parents mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only an ancient jade pendant engraved with the words "Tai Xuan."
Corrupted black energy invaded Lin Chen's body, blocking his dantian and turning him into the martial arts academy's most hopeless good-for-nothing, mocked and scorned by all.
Until one day, when a senior disciple kicked him flying, the Tai Xuan Pendant on his chest suddenly erupted with scorching power:
"The Age of Declining Dharma ends with you."
A lost text, the Tai Xuan Treatise on Resonance, flooded his mind. The battered Azure Edge Sword chose him as its master, and even a five-hundred-year-old cultivator became his "exclusive mentor."
Bone-clan heretical cultivators, fiends from beyond the realm, corrupted ferocious beasts... Those who once bullied him weren't even worthy of carrying his shoes now!
"Have you heard? That good-for-nothing Lin Chen knocked Wang Meng, a third-level Qi Refiner, flat with one punch!"
"That's not all! He stormed the steel mill alone, slew the Bone-clan heretic Withered Bone, and rescued the senior and junior disciples who'd been captured!"
"In the Mass Grave Secret Realm, he subdued a spirit fox and seized the Heart of Origin. He even slew the Bone Fiend, a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Su Muyue: "Lin Chen, just how many secrets are you hiding?"
Lin Chen tightened his grip on the Tai Xuan Pendant, his gaze resolute. "The secrets don't matter. What matters is finding my parents, destroying the Bone Clan's lair, and making this Age of Declining Dharma disappear for good!"
Once the Tai Xuan Pendant gathers all seven Hearts of Origin, it can not only restore the spiritual meridians, but also open a gate to realms beyond
Standing before the gate, Lin Chen pointed the Azure Edge Sword at the sky. "Want to invade Blue Star? You'll have to get past the sword in my hand first!"
