Zhang Chulan had hoped to recover Bao’er-jie’s memories by combining Lü Liang’s Soul-Eclairing Technique with Ma Xianhong’s Body-Cultivation Furnace. But when the two utterly different forms of qi set things in motion, he transmigrates back to the War of Resistance against Japan. He saves Bao’er-jie, then still an innocent young girl, from Japanese soldiers, only to discover that he has transmigrated into Wu Gensheng’s body. Taking young Bao’er with him, Zhang Chulan sets down a path of no return, using Wu Gensheng’s name as he conquers Quanzhen, befriends the Thirty-Six Thieves, and develops the Eight Extraordinary Skills. He bears infamy and endless pursuit, all to uncover the mystery of Bao’er-jie’s origins.
