Nine Regrets, Burning the Heavens

After losing his sworn brother and the woman he loved to his own pride, he forged an unparalleled Dao heart from ten years of regret and defied fate with the Ninefold Regret Sutra. Chu Yuan, a prodigy from Qingyun City, was blessed with extraordinary talent and a spirited nature. He had Su Qianxue, the Medicine King Valley’s holy maiden and his childhood sweetheart, and Yan Pojun, his sworn brother who had pledged to stand by him through life and death. He believed that with his talent, there was nothing in the world he could not accomplish.

He used “regret forged into a heavenly blade” to cleave through heavenly tribulations, “regret forged into a heavenly eye” to see through illusions, and the power of the Great Ascension peak to face the Demon Lord Di Wuji head-on.

In the battle between good and evil, he would no longer let a single brother fall. Before the Reincarnation Pool, he traded fifty years of his lifespan to bring Yan Pojun back reborn. Nurtured for ten years by the Netherworld Flower, Su Qianxue finally opened her eyes.

In that moment, all his regret turned
