After his entire village is massacred overnight, young Lin Tian loses every member of his family.
To uncover the truth behind the slaughter, he brings a mysterious ancient jade with him as he joins the Xuantian Sect. He hides his abilities and endures life at the bottom, struggling to survive.
The outer sect makes things difficult for him, the gifted suppress him, and one trial after another follows.
With a mid-grade spiritual root, he braves dangerous lands and seizes opportunities, rising against the odds from the lowest ranks of disciples.
First, an ambitious sect genius blocks his path; then a demonic calamity threatening the entire world quietly draws near.
As he peels back the layers of mystery, he discovers that the truth behind the Qingxi Village massacre is far more brutal than he imagined.
He breaks free of the shackles of the mortal world and the immortal sects, and walks through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
With the long sword in his hand, Lin Tian slays every foe and carves out an against-heaven path to immortality for an ordinary boy.
Okay, okay, the description is very detailed.
