At sixteen, Ling Xuan, a prince of the Tianling Empire, had spent ten years as a hostage in Canglan and become a good-for-nothing everyone in the city could bully!
The Third Prince trampled him, the powerful humiliated him, and even enemy soldiers dared to spit on him!
On the brink of death, he awakened the imperial family’s supreme art, the "Tianling Imperial Heart Sutra", and defied fate!
In public, he kept pretending to be weak, letting people mock and manipulate him.
In private, he built an intelligence network, recruited talented people for his bid for supremacy, amassed wealth at a feverish pace, and raised his cultivation and strength!
Once the hidden dragon broke free and returned to court, he would first settle the score for ten years of humiliation, then plunge into the struggle for the throne and conquer the five kingdoms in a world torn by war!
The hostage everyone once bullied would ultimately ascend to the supreme throne and rule the lands beneath the heavens!
