Lin Feng, a young man from Black Rock Village, suffered a tragedy when his family was exterminated since he was a child. His parents were killed by mysterious monks because they were pregnant with the Qingming branch inheritance, leaving only a jade pendant engraved with a green lotus pattern and the word "Qingming" as a clue. After three years of forbearance, he accidentally stepped into the Black Rock Mountain cave at the invitation of the monks of Qingxuanzong. He awakened the core crystal of Qingming, inherited the top skill "Sword Inheritance", and stepped into the door of immortality. However, because of the treasure, he was coveted by the monks of Qingxuanzong, and he started a journey of escape and fighting.
When Duanhunpo was in danger, Lin Feng was fortunate to be rescued by Su Qingyue, a descendant of the Qingming branch. He followed him to Luoxia Valley, where he received the guidance of Liu Rumei from the Foundation Establishment Realm. His cultivation improved rapidly, but he was encircled and suppressed by the elders of the ninth level of Qingxuan Sect's Qi Entrainment. After a deadly battle, Lin Feng teamed up with Su Qingyue and Liu Rumei to repel the powerful enemy, but he also knew that Luoxia Valley was no longer a safe place.
Following Liu Rumei's instructions, Lin Feng and Su Qingyue broke into the Qingming Secret Realm, killed the alien beasts in the early stage of foundation building, and obtained the Qingming Pearl to break through the foundation building realm. They also learned from the secret records the century-old truth about the Qingxuan Sect's master's slander of the Qingming branch and his attempt to seize the treasure. They also found out the whereabouts of the secret letters left by their parents. From then on, Lin Feng, who had the truth and inheritance in hand, embarked on the road to Linjiang City, vowing to retrieve the secret letter, avenge his parents, and clear the grievances of the Qingming branch. The rise of the Qingming successor also caused a huge storm in the huge world of immortality.
