Three hundred years ago, Lin Mo, the "Heaven-Extinguishing Sword Immortal," was betrayed by his close friend Chu Yunfei and his Dao companion Bai Ling'er, and died with his soul destroyed. Three hundred years later, reborn as an ordinary college student in the city, he swears to make his former enemies pay for their crimes.
Bearing an ancient inheritance of sword cultivation, Lin Mo begins his path of cultivation anew in the modern city. In his lowly days, the aloof campus beauty Su Lingxue is his only source of warmth; underworld kingpin Zhao Tianlong provides him with support in the mundane world; and Situ Lan of the nation's "Dragon Group" represents the scrutiny of the authorities. When Qin Yan, a scion of a cultivation family, repeatedly provokes him, Lin Mo takes on one challenge after another against stronger opponents. All who face his sword become stepping stones.
Yet his true enemies remain high above, beyond the heavens. Chu Yunfei, now the dignified and sanctimonious sect master of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, and pop star Bai Weiwei (Bai Ling'er), who beguiles all who see her, have both risen to immense power. On this thorn-strewn path of revenge, Lin Mo will once again wield his three-foot green blade, carving out a bright and just world between the modern city and the hidden realm of cultivation.
