After failing his tribulation, Yang Qingyun, the Venerable Immortal of Qingyun, returned to his body as a remnant soul. When he came back to Earth, only forty-seven days had passed since he went missing.
In the eyes of the world, he was an ordinary college student who had gotten lost in the mountains and vanished without a trace: poor, quiet, and easy to bully.
No one knew that this young body housed the soul of a Venerable Immortal who had reigned supreme in the Xuanhuang Realm for ten thousand years.
So what if he was only at the third level of Qi Refining?
When a spoiled rich kid came looking for trouble, Yang Qingyun crippled him with a casual wave. When a rogue cultivator tried to seize his treasure and kill him, Yang Qingyun saw through him at a glance. To Yang Qingyun, the retainers of prestigious families and the prodigies of sects were no more than children who had just begun to learn how to breathe and cultivate.
Lost pill recipes, ancient formations, and vanished spiritual ley lines: opportunities others could only dream of, he could pick up with ease.
He had thought his homeland would be unrecognizable and his old friends long reduced to dust. Instead, he found his grandmother alive and well, his youthful love still lingering, and the campus sweetheart with a hidden double identity drawing closer to him step by step.
But as his cultivation gradually returned, Earth’s secrets also began to surface:
The depletion of spiritual energy was no natural disaster. His parents’ disappearance had more to it than met the eye, and an ancient evil sealed beneath the earth was slowly awakening.
In the Age of Declining Dharma, the Venerable Immortal returns.
This time, he will protect his loved ones, uncover the truth, restore the spiritual ley lines, and suppress evil.
Everything that belongs to him, he will take back in full.
