Gu Lingchuan is sixteen years old, the seventh among the younger generation in Qingyang City.
He has talent, understanding, and the pride of a young man.
But when everyone mentions him, they always mention another name - Gu Changyuan.
Twelve years ago, Gu Changyuan was once one of the most dazzling geniuses in Taixuan Academy. However, during a mission, he killed his fellow disciples, took away forbidden objects, and has since defected and disappeared.
Some people say that Gu Lingchuan will follow his father's path sooner or later.
Gu Lingchuan didn't believe it.
But he never said that his father was definitely not guilty.
Because what he wanted was never to clear anyone's name.
He just wanted to see it for himself——
What happened twelve years ago.
So, starting from the five election quotas in Qingyang City, the young man walked out of the small town with a knife.
Hundreds of cities are competing for the throne, the academy is asking questions, the ancient tablets are enlightening the Dharma, the dynasty is at war, and the geniuses are rising together.
He has seen people who are stronger than himself, he has seen monsters whose understanding is not inferior to his own, and he has also seen people who have mastered a sword to the point that no one in the world can stop it.
Until one day, Gu Lingchuan finally discovered——
My father really killed someone.
Really took the forbidden object.
He really betrayed Taixuan Academy.
And behind all this, there is a secret that has been forgotten by the world for thousands of years:
**Why has no one in the Tianxuan Realm been able to step into the Xuan Emperor for thousands of years? **
Everyone said that the imperial road was over.
People in the past said that the road has come to an end.
Gu Lingchuan tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.
"The path of our predecessors led nowhere..."
"Then change it."
This is the story of a talented young man who went from the small town of Qingyang to the vast world.
It is also a story of a latecomer who re-opens the way for heaven and earth.
