Sword Shatters the Nine Heavens: Chu Chen

Three years as a good-for-nothing, then one day he awakens. His fiancée breaks off their engagement in public, while his fellow disciples humiliate him without restraint. Everyone thinks Chu Chen will rot in the mud. No one knows he bears an enormous secret sealed within him. Then, one day, the seal shatters, the Myriad Spirits Physique awakens, and the Sword Demon’s inheritance emerges. From menial servant to prodigy, from Meridian Condensation to Golden Core, Chu Chen rises against all odds and cuts down his enemies with his sword. But as his strength grows, a shocking conspiracy that has shrouded the Eastern Wilderness for five hundred years gradually comes to light. His father’s disappearance, his family’s destruction, and the Sword Demon’s death all point to the same enemy. This is the story of a young man who climbs out of the mire, breaks his chains with the sword in his hand, rescues his father, and ascends to the pinnacle.
